Valentines for the Hubby = Boba Fett

Before Christmas my husband came across a picture of a crocheted Boba Fett Helmet and he asked me if I could make that for him.  

WHAT??

It seemed a little overwhelming at first but then I found some great pictures and thought I could tackle it!

I decided that this would make a great Valentine's present for him.  

I didn't have it completely done on Valentines because I kept trying to make it work the way I wanted it to.  I think it turned out awesome!! Now we need it to get a little colder so the hubs can enjoy it more!!

Happy Valentine's Day

I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day!!!!! 

Also I wanted to share what I gave to my swap partner for the Oh Strumpets Valentine Craft Swap!!

My craft swap partner is Sophie (go check out her cute blog!)  I love the whole craft swapping fun, but also love getting to make a new friend!  

I found some inspiration from pintrest for an embroidery hoop wall art and wanted to make something similar. 

I think the embroidery came out cute!

(sorry blogger has decided that my pictures need to be sideways!!)

Of course I had to add some crocheted hearts!

And to finish it off, my daughter decorated the package!

My package from Sophie should be here soon!! I'll post pictures once I get it here!!!

Valentine's Day Cards

I decided this year that I wanted to have hand made cards for the kids for their Valentine's Cards.  The kids loved the idea so I had to get started right away, especially since I needed 42 of them made!!!

I started with some crocheted hearts.  Here is a sample of some the ones we are going to use.

We've got some sparkly ones, tied dyed ones, pink, hot pink and purple to name a few!

We made our cards on card stock, cut them out and attached the heart on one side.

And here is the other side where the kids will write in the names!

I think they are pretty cute!  

I even included a set of them in my etsy shop if you want to get your own! If you need different colors or more than are in the listing, just let me know! I was able to make these pretty fast!

Happy Valentines day!!

I hope everyone is having a great Valentines day today!

I have been working on a few Valentines crafts over the last few weeks.

One has been for Strumpets Crumpets Valentine Swap

I will post pictures once I know my swapee has her prize!  I can't wait to see what I get! 

The other thing I worked on was a cute embroidery project I saw at One Artsy Mama

I made these two shirts for my cousin's 2 daughters.

I thought this was the perfect thing for them because our grandmother always signed her cards and letters XX OO.  I've noticed that my cousins have kept this up so why not make a special shirt to remind these girls of how awesome their great grandmother was.

I did discover that embroidering on T-shirt material is a little harder because it stretches all over the place so they didn't turn out as cute as One Artsy Mama but I still think they are cute for these little ones!

I'd love to see the crafts you put together for Valentines! I'm sure you did an amazing job!
