valentine's day is creeping up around the corner and i just adored this easy paper garland over on " how about orange".

the purl bee's always manages to find the perfect projects to get my knitting needles calling out my name. why not make yourself a pair of these cozy leg warmers for valentine's this year?

i'm in the horrible process of not having much luck of finding new bedding and was super happy to find this tute for making your own basic pillowcase over on " make it and love it".

need to whip up some skirts for the kids fast? pop over to " at second street" to get this sweet tute that she made for her girl's (all different ages).

i couldn't resist posting this headband from " katie did" from last year, it's just so simple and pretty, but then again, isn't all her stuff? swoon.....

pick up your copy of betz white's pattern over at her etsy shop to make your own cuddly, little hedgehogs.

wow! this topiary was made from a somewhat ugly $0.99 one from the goodwill. way to go abby, from " tales and trials", it looks fab!!

ok, insert my drool here. the lovely lady behind the fab blog " truly smitten" has just started her very own foodie blog entitled " tea loves honey". can i just say yummy? this is sure to be on my fave cooking reading list!





1) i adore all the lovelies in the etsy shop " blue eyed freckle", especially this new headband, just gorgeous!!!! check out her blog as well, she has some great tutes too!
2) " a hoot and a holler" has a great refashion on turning a sweater into an adorable hat! what a great idea!
