Burlap Valentine Wreath

This red burlap heart wreath is super cute and perfect for Valentine's Day! Find yourself some red burlap, or purchase it from Hobby Lobby's On-line store: Here. For this wreath, I used the same technique you can see demonstrated in my burlap wreath tutorial: Here.


Use a heart shaped wreath form like the one seen here. I got mine at Hobby Lobby and you can find the exact one at their site for only $2.47: Heart Wreath

Happy Valentine's Day

The way to my man's heart...
I've never been that big on valentine's day, in fact, it has always ended up being a pretty crazy, strange, messed up kinda day at our house. Meaning, something always seems to go wrong on valentine's day! In fact, I just realized that it was 10 years ago today that my husband broke up with me. Yup, on valentine's day. Of course he eventually came back around and realized he needed me in his life, and we were married the following year! 

But it's always stuff like that. Maybe because of stuff like that, his philosophy has always been "why do I need valentine's day to do nice things for you and spend lots of money, instead of just doing stuff all year long?" I think many men hold to this view, but in fact, he really does do stuff all year long! I couldn't ask for more in a husband - he is the best, and he is mine! Woa, woa, no need to get defensive if you think your husband is the best, every woman should believe her husband is the best. Please don't take advice from the Kardashians, choose to love and cherish your man for better or for worse (even when the worse seems to out-way the better), stick with it and make him some bacon. Happy stinkin valentine's day. Love, Sarah <3

Quick Table Runner

I bought some pretty yellow fabric the other day for $1/yard and have been thinking over what I would use it for. Don't get me wrong, I love sewing, crafting, creating, etc. but if a project takes me longer than an hour to bring to completion, well, then it just seems like work! I love quick things that are fun to make and rewarding to look at! For this table runner, all I did was cut a piece of fabric to the size I wanted (didn't even measure, just "eye balled" it!!) Hemmed the edges, then used a hot glue gun to add the ribbon and buttons.


These just so happen to be my Valentine's day flowers - hubby was with me at Costco the other day and asked me to pick out what I wanted, rather than wait till they went up in price the week of Valentines day! Romantic, huh? Well, it worked out because now he knows I would rather have white tulips over red roses!




I'm enjoying the view of the tulips from my "workstation" - aka my lap top and sewing machine, currently occupying the dinner room table.
