usually i'm annoyed with stores skipping straight from christmas to valentine's, but i do have to admit to myself that it is already january, and for some inexplicable reason, i really want to make valentines this year! with a baby due in early march [which around here may very well actually mean late february] i figured the only chance for success was to start early.
not a bad mantra for me in general.
turns out, unsurprisingly, that valentine's must be a super-inspirational holiday in the craft world, because there are tons of adorable ideas out there. a quick search on one pretty thing brought up this handful of ridiculously cute ideas!
for my love:
a lightbulb message via design*sponge
especially with those fat, round lightbulbs!
or this love frame via the inadvertent farmer
i'm picturing this in a daddy's office, perfect too if you have 4 kids!
for sisters or grandmas:
a cute little sachet via craftypod
although i think those stacked hearts would be cute sewn onto pretty much anything. oooh like the end of a scarf!
for the house:
a valentine wreath via tatertots and jello
i'm totally on the hunt for one of those heart-shaped wreaths to make this with!
for the kiddos:
heart-shaped multi crayons via the long thread
these would be a super cute idea to make a big batch of if you felt like being one of those awesome moms that brings in a little something for your kid's whole class!
and though i can't knit a stitch, i couldn't help but say awwww when i saw this incredibly cute idea: a holding-hands mitten! via coco knits- even cuter that she called it a smitten mitten. love.
now that the inspiration fires are burning, i've got to get to work!
