It's the Day of Love after all!

From roses to pom pom garland, there's all sorts of ways to add that Valentine's Day splash to your abode without shelling out an arm & a leg. 
Are your bouquet of roses looking a little cliche this year? Cut them down and poke into an oasis ball. Voila! A hanging flower ball.  

Super cheap and super easy! Requires one styrofoam wreath, one skein of creme yarn, red & green felt, & buttons. 


Have any boring books laying around? Put them to good use and make a wreath! Rip out the pages and stain them with tea or coffee. Buy a wooden circle and assemble with glue. Top off with an adorable centerpiece.

How cute is this window garland! Purchase some heavy scrapbook paper and cut into 4 different sized strips. Use 8 per heart (not including the center piece) and staple into place! String through the top of the middle strip and connect all the hearts. So easy your kid could do it! 

I squealed when I saw this pom pom window decoration! Use fishing line and thread through pink and red pom poms. Make several different ones and tie all the strings onto a long stick. Then hang above window! 

Buy some thick coated wire from Michaels or Lowes and shape into any word you desire. Wrap it in any color yarn. So cute! It'd be perfect for a kid's name and to put it on their door.

Not the average day...

So this morning I woke up feeling like someone had ran over my head with a semi. Had to call the bossinator and make it a 'sick day'. Ick. But after staying in bed till 4, I woke up with a genius idea! I know, I guess these things just come to me in my sleep or something. Actually, I was browsing through some people's pet photos and thought, "Why not pet collar coats?" So this idea has really excited me and I know its probably not excited Frodo. The plan is to crochet or sew a cover for dog collars that can be for holidays or seasonal. So I've got to hurry and make some for Valentine's Day! This is a must! Frodo has to be the first bischon with a red felted collar and hearts around his neck. :) I will post the finished product soon!!
