This Valentine´s Day, I have my focus on two projects. First it´s all about getting the windows of the house ready for the special day. After I had removed all Christmas ornaments from the windows, they looked empty. The second thing I am working on is a Valentine's Day card, which I hope will be finished soon, so that I can give it to you as a downloadable greeting.
My husband makes us breakfast every morning. As he usually has to take something out of the kitchen cupboard, I thought it would be a good opportunity to show him a gentle reminder that Valentine´s Day is coming. Even if it´s still January, the day will come. For this "real life newsfeed", I used two hand made garlands. One is heart ribbon crochet and the other one I cut out of vintage paper.
This Sunday is all about getting ready for Valentine´s Day. For me, this means that I am trying out new cake recipes and I also bring up the decorations. For our neighbors this means, free Sunday afternoon cake delivered directly to their house. As I am a big fan of 'dry' coffee cakes, I tried this Cream Cheese Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Streusel. Yummy.
My hubby is getting a supercute gift, which I secretly finished last week already! Well, the original idea I had in mind, seems to be unworkably. I wanted to scratch our both initials in some wooden bark. but: how do I get the tree inside our house? and: how should I wrap the tree up?! so, at the end I decided to embroider everything, and I am quite happy with the outcome! But of course I need a supercute valentine's…
Valentine's week starts today with "crafty Monday". You guessed it, this might be the first of many Valentine´s Day related posts that I am planning to do. Last week I have already finished these cute miniature cookie etageres but the things that I wanted to put on them were still missing. I think it´s kind of boring if there are cookies on a cookie etagere. So I had to find something else that would also relate to the overall Valentine`s…
A classical Valentine`s Day dilemma. Should the kitten get nothing ? (Un)fortunately a our house there are no kittens yet, so we can have it all. The card, the mini cakes and the Valentine.
