sweet. heart. topper.

Tiny things are always cute.  Cupcakes are delicious.  The invention of tiny cupcakes was genius!

heat strings

I busted out the crochet hooks for this beauty.  It's been a while since I crocheted something.  I tend to craft in phases.  I will go months and months on just sewing projects, then I will get into a paper groove and stay there a while, sometimes it's crochet.  I'm just THAT random.  I saw a version of this idea on Design Sponge.  I didn't use her heart pattern.  Instead I just made up my own thing, I made five rows of five SS, then made a scallop border stitch on two ends of the square.  I don't know if that makes sense to anyone but me, but it is quick and involves almost no counting (I can get impatient with the counting sometimes, that's why I make tiny things instead of sweaters).

So whether you are planning to celebrate Valentines with lots and lots of love...

 or your more of a "singles awareness day" celebrator...

enjoy.

february 1st

Whenever Valentines Day rolls around I wish I were back in Elementary school.  Valentines day was my favorite day. What is better than making a big, happy box for people to stuff nice notes and candy into?  Pretty much nothing!  Instead of a big, happy box, I made this little, cute wreath.

Happy February!

colorable!

How blissful would my childhood have been if I could have printed things from the internet, then colored them?  Pretty blissful.  Well, I guess I will just live this dream as an adult.  Check out these thank you/anything cards from Giver's Log.  Brilliant!

best crispy treats ever

Today I concocted a delicious caramel chocolate rice crispy treat.  I figured that adding delicious, atop an already delicious treat couldn't hurt. 

I used these for the caramel part.  How cute are they?  So cute, and pretty delish on their own I might add. 

I have been saving them to make something delicious, holy moly, these treats were delicious!

One word: YUM!

my paper wreath

I love paper.  This is not an exaggeration.  Among many things about paper, I love its endless possibilities, it can be a place to doodle, or a lovely decoration.  Hence, my paper wreath.  There are many paper wreaths and such on the world wide web.  My paper wreath is a little different, but it turned out to be a perfectly subtle statement.

Here are the details...

 {supplies} foam wreath, circle punch, pins, distress ink, oldish book, glue, ribbon, spray paint (optional)

 {cut out a BILLION circles} {stack them and distress the edges}    

 {glue circles all around the wreath (I used glue instead of pins for this part because I had more control around the edges)} {fold a circle twice, push the pin through, fold a circle in half and stack it on the same pin (repeat for extra puffiness), push the pin into the wreath, do it again, and again , and again, AND AGAIN.}

 There are about 100 pins in my 12 inch wreath.  Paper, paper, paper...

I am also thinking this would look cool done with maps or other colored papers.
