January almost seems a blur ... it blew in and out rather quickly, or so it seems. And now, February has hit, brought some ice with it and the weather people seem to to think that even more ice is coming! Lots of cold! Lots and LOTS of cold .... so why not turn your thoughts and yarn to something WARM and FUZZY! Today is February 7 .. which means that NEXT Monday will be Valentine's Day! Just 7 days to do something special for those that you love ....
The internet is LOADED with Heart patterns .... so why not grab some yarn and needles and begin working on some very special, one of a kind, hand made cards to pass on to YOUR Valentine? This cute little card will be a treasured heirloom one day when you share your heart with them ....
Got a friend who loves to read? Why not find a Beautiful Book of Friendship Poems and Quotes and tuck this Sweet Little Bookmark within its pages?
Remember all those "Conversation Hearts" that you ate (and that now will break your teeth) growing up? Why not make your OWN version . . . fill a bowl up with these little calorie-free versions and start a conversation of your own! (this link works great but i can't get the picture to download. it definitely is WORTH clicking over there to check it out though!)
or what about these? with or without the little faces, they would be a great way to use up some scraps, or fill with potpourri and tuck into your dresser drawers for a soft and fragrant reminder each day.
and as always, there is a plethora of heart washcloths out there ....
option 2 (this is one of my favorites!)
Michael's has a great 40% coupon this week ... why not print it out and visit one of the area craft stores and purchase a pack of blank stationary cards that you can use for your own personalized Valentines?
Your knitting would be a beautiful adornment on the outside of the card .. and then find a verse to pen on the inside .....
Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails ....... I Cor. 13:4-8
. . . let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth I John 3:18
Phil. 1:3
