A week of Valentines

I meant to get this posted much earlier today, but it's been one of those days. You know the kind, tons of errands, laundry, grocery shopping, piano lessons.  Plus it's early out schedule this week for the kids in school. So just to add to this already hectic week I've decided to have a week of Valentine ideas.  I have a lot of half finished projects so I figured this would force me to get them done.

Here is the plan - I will have some valentine projects of my own this Monday, Wednesday,  and Friday.  Then on Friday (If I can figure it out),  I will have a post where you can link us up to your valentine posts.  Weither it's something you sewed up or cooked - whatever, just something to celebrate Valentines.


Here is my first project.  I sorta cheated on this one because it's not my idea.  There is a tutorial for this pillow over at Diary of a Quilter.   If you haven't already checked out Amy's blog you should.  Not only is she amazingly talented but super sweet. I changed mine up a little bit by adding the binding.   This valentine fabric is by Cosmo Cricket for Moda.




Downton Abbey is killing me. I'm ready to just go and buy the 2nd season.  Watching it every Sunday for an hour is just not enough.  The suspense is killing me, I NEED to know what is going to happen.   Have I told you how much I love the clothes on this show.  Sometimes I really think I was born in the wrong era.  Although the thought of wearing a corset isn't all the appealing.    I just love the dresses and hats though.


I hope your are all having a great week.  Be thinking of some  Valentine ideas.  I would love to have you link us up to them on Friday!

My daughter got me hooked on Downton and now I'm in the same boat as you are (sigh).
Love the little Valentine pillow!

I decided to try out Downton 'cause of your blog and I love it, too! I also love the clothes and how elegant they were. Cute Valentine pillow, I don't have that kind of talent at all, but it's fun to see what you do. :)

I too could tell you what happens in season 2 but I wouldn't want to spoil it for you. :o)
Even Mr B loves the programme, we loved the Christmas one and are eagerly waiting for the 3rd series, an absolute delight to watch.

Love your blog, the hearts are so beautiful and will be a nice gift for girls and ladies. A lot more femine than the usual black ones. Thank you for the tutorial.
