Handmade Things for the Valentine’s Day Crafternoon Party

For the Valentine´s Day Crafternoon Party at the Bookstore this Friday I am preparing to show lot´s of cute handmade things. I made paper straw love Toppers (at least I call them that), tiny punched love hearts, special tea bags for your loved ones, crochet heart ornaments, valentines day cards, sewed in chocolate hearts and last but not least love hangtags made out of cut out doily paper. So, if you happen to live around NRW in Germany come and visit me on Friday and we make those things together (click for info where and when)

Für ganz kurz entschlossene die ideale Gelegenheit dem oder der liebsten mein Buch zum Valentinstag zu schenken.

Das super nette Team der Buchhandlung sorgt auch für das (süße) leibliche Wohl und verschafft euch zudem ein „Bücher Blind Date“.

Valentine’s Day Window Decoration

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.

Valentine´s Day Vintage Paper Garland

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.

Valentine’s Day Preparations

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.
