I was on a bit of a mission to try and have a simple valentines and try to stay as close to possible with using up the craft stash supplies. For our school mate Valentines we took a que from Pinterest and used some watercolor paper from the art cabinet and created some handpainted individual cards that we then upcycled some sheet music given to us for the hearts. It took a couple evenings but we ended up with 46 valentines for teachers and classmates.
Daddy even got in on making and reused some of the scraps into creative cards for us. For a simple high tea yesterday afternoon I used some frappaccino jars, wood hearts for the stash and bakers twine for a cranberry sprite fizz. The tablecloth and bunting were made from recycled dishtowel and and vintage sheet stash which is quite out of control. I have a feeling I will be having a vintage de-stash event soon!
One thing I did buy was the cotton yarn to make the boys monogram washcloths. Washcloths are my world right now! I love their perfect size for learning off of these yarn patterns. Hmm- what pattern to start today? Hope you all had a wonderful Valentines with your sweethearts!
