Valentine's Day part 1

I have seen so many cute Valentine's Day decorations and crafts out in the blog world so I've been inspired to start decorating!  I made some cute hugs and kisses frames using scrapbook paper, wooden letters I found in the clearance bins at JoAnn's for 50¢ each and cheap frames from Target.  A little ModPodge and some hot glue created these:

I also whipped up some felt heart garland.  It's just a bunch of hearts I cut out freehand and then ran through the sewing machine one after another.


I think someone needs some hugs and kisses.

I also started making Valentine gifts for my nephew and nieces.  The little man is getting this tee:


Here's a close up of the heart I sewed on (the tee is a $3 one from Target- gotta love a deal!):



The girls, along with Eva, will be getting pink tees but I haven't decided how I am going to embellish them yet.  Any ideas?  They will be getting barrettes too.  Here's what I've gotten done so far:


I think I'm going to add buttons to the centers of the hearts but I'm still playing around with them.

So I definitely have a bunch of crafts to keep me busy this week plus I have my first order for a crayon roll!  I bought a couple fat quarter packs of fun fabrics so I plan on making a bunch to have on hand as (hopefully) more requests come in.
