valentines fabric wreath

thank you maggie for sending in this lovely valentines wreath. It looks so romantic and pretty and it also doesn’t take much time to make :) This would also be wonderful for weddings by changing the ribbon color!

foodcraft

My favourite kind of craft. Lots of terrific ideas and beautiful packaging over at Design*Sponge. Link to post.

heart hangings

Katharine from woollywotnots sent in this link to her heart hangings – made from cardboard and wool scraps, she says: You can make them in a variety of colours to match your home decor or make them stripey and multi-coloured. They are great to make with friends and children. They are very simple and look great. You can use them for Valentine’s, special occasions or have them hanging around your home all year round.

celebrate the boy

It’s rough being a BOY in a sea full of girly blog tutorials and sewing ideas. …

For whole of february, Made is teaming up with Made by Rae for a whole month of boy only tutorials and ideas – including: boys clothing, crafts and toys + 12 guest bloggers – sounds exciting.

To kick start the month made has a boys backpack made from men’s cast off pants, and made by rae has a tute on how to refashion a men’s shirt into a little boy’s shirt.

made has some awfully cute pirate lounge pants and the most fantastic 90 minute stretch top (above). Go join the blokey fun – I will be checking in during the month to see what else they are up to.
