VALENTINES DAY BAGS

Hello everyone and how are you doing today. Yesterday the weather was pretty nice here in the low 50's, but today we are having showers. I wish all winter the weather would be mild, but February & March are always the worst.
Today I wanted to show you the little tote bags that I made for my grandchildren. I purchase them at AC Moore and to decorate them I used Stickles Glitter Glue. I love this glitter glue because it dries quickly and when it dries the glitter doesn't fall off, so there is no glitter mess. Stickles  glitter glue is also great for card making & scrap booking, I use it all the time.

This is a quick and easy way to embellish something.

Hope you enjoyed this craft project and will try it.

So until the next time, have a creative & blessed craft day.

Thanks for stopping by.

RIBBON BOW HEART WREATH

 Today  is our second day of hearts & valentines week. This project is all about ribbons & bows. An easy craft to  make & doesn't take much time at all
Supplies Needed:
What you will need is a 12''  heart shape straw wreath & I left the plastic wrap on so the straw didn't fall off.
Then I used just about 25 yards of 2 1/2'' wide  mesh ribbon which I purchased at ACMoore.
But you could use any type of ribbon you prefer.
Some thin wire for the bows & a piece of thicker wire to make a hanger
To attach the bows some u shape pins.
A small amount of lace, I used what I had laying around.
And last some self sticking felt hearts

Instructions:
First you take a piece of the thicker wire, wrap it around the center top of the heart & twist into a loop to make a hanger
To make the bows cut an 18'' length of ribbon, make your basic bow which is 2 loops. Mine was about a 2 1/2'' loop each, which would measure to a finish 5'' wide bow.
Then take some wire & wrap around the center of the bow to hold it together.
Start placing  your finish bows holding them on with the u shape pin, putting them close to each other until the whole front of the wreath is full.
Then I cut a few 4'' pieces of lace, folded them in have & tucked  a few randomly around the wreath in the middle of the bow & secured with a pin.
And lastly I put the self sticking hearts on to the bows randomly around the heart.
You are finished

I hope you enjoyed this project & maybe make one for yourself.
I would love to see what you come up with.
So until the next time have a creative & blessed craft day.
Thanks for stopping by.

FOUR TIER CROCHET HEARTS

Good morning to everyone. Here it is almost the end of January and in my mind I am thinking that we are getting closer to spring, with warmer weather. So far it has been a calm winter, but we still have to go through February & March. Who knows how much snow we will get then.

This week  is all about hearts & valentines day.
All week I will be posting a variety of crafts, not just crochet.
So this week my handmade crafts should interest just about everyone.

For the first project I crocheted 4 hearts with a front & back. Then put a little polyfil inside of each one, sewed them together in a tier fashion.
Since it's for valentines week I did them in red & silver yarn. But you could do the hearts in any color yarn to match your decor & leave them up year round. This is a great accent for a country decor, too. They can be hung on a door or in just about any room in your home.

Hope you enjoyed this first project of the week. Stop by tomorrow to see what is next.

Until the next time hope you have a creative & blessed craft day.

Thanks for stopping by.

HAT & SCARF SET

WOW, I can't believe it is Friday already & another cloudy rainy day here in PA. So, you know what that means that its a great day to just stay inside & do some crafting.
I love the warm weather when I can be outside & play in my garden, but the only problem with that is I don't get any crafting done.
See the only good part of the winter for me is that I stay inside & work on my crafts. I hate the cold weather, but that's me.
Well enough about me & the weather.
I had extra skeins of the variegated yarn from when I made the hooded scarf, so I thought I would make a beanie hat & a scarf to go with it.
A nice set to wear together or to wear just one piece at a time.

I love the way the yarn looks with a zig zag effect. It's so much fun to use variegated yarn, you never know what type of look you will get & it's always a surprise.

Well, that's it for this week & I will be back on Monday with a new project.

Thanks for stopping by & until the next time, I hope you have a creative & blessed weekend.

JUST SO DAPPER HAT

Here it is another day gone by. I was so busy yesterday with my hubby. Both of us had to go thru some testing at the docs office & it was an all day thing. The weather is cloudy today & I don't plan on leaving this house, so I can get some things done.
I know that this hat is the same pattern that I did the other day, just in a different color. Isn't it amazing though how just by using a different color yarn the whole look changes?
When I got done crocheting this one & looked at it, I just thought it looked so dapper as the men would say back in the 20's & 30's.

To give it a little color or to dress it up, just add a flower or a pin & you are set to go.

I hope you enjoyed seeing this hat in a different color.

Thanks for stopping by & until the next time, hope you have a creative & blessed craft day.

Hugs, Dee
