Valentine Crafts 2015 Roundup!

Happy Valentine's Day! 

I seriously intended to post this long before now, but...well I forgot, okay? But hey, better late than never, am I right? 

Right. 
Moving on! 

I decided to do a little something special for my friends this year, and I found an adorable idea on Pinterest. I decided I wanted to fancy mine up a bit more than what these were. 

I snagged a heart outline from here, and then jazzed it up in Photoshop to add the color and text. All that was left then was to simply cut them out and paste them onto the socks! The brand I found had a cardboard topper, so it was perfect for what I had in mind.



Aren't they adorable? I love how they turned out!


And in case you want to use this idea for yourself, here's a printable version of the graphic I used! 

To be honest, I can't remember what size I saved it as, but I'm thinking it's in the neighborhood of 2.5x3? (Or maybe 2x3.5? I don't know).
 I also stuck one of these lollipop flowers to each, because they were adorable, and what's Valentine's Day without candy?!
The flower pattern is from Repeat Crafter Me (one of my favorite websites). I used Tootsie Roll pops instead of Dum Dums, though, so I used a larger crochet hook to make my flowers to match the larger candies. 

Still totally adorable though, and they were a HUGE hit!


I really should have gotten better photos of them, though. 

Finally, I wanted to do a little something special for some of the kiddos at church, and I had plenty of Tootsie Roll pops left over, so I went made Superhero Pops! I'd seen the idea in an old issue of Family Fun magazine, but I wasn't able to find that template again, unfortunately.

However, these printable capes and goggles were easy to find with a quick search, and I actually liked using them better! The template I had before was blank, and I had to add in color/message/etc myself.

These I just printed, cut out and put together! Super easy!




Plus, the kiddos loved them too, which is even better. 

Hope you all enjoyed this roundup, and I hope you have a fantastic Valentine's Day! :)

Bofur Inspired Hat Pattern

 (Check out this handy dandy Pinterest ready graphic I made!) In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, one of the dwarves (Bofur) wore this really, really awesome hat.  I fell in love with it, and decided to see if I could crochet my own version of it.  Well, first I scoured the internet, hoping for a pattern, and when I didn't find one THEN I decided to make my own.  And since I know there are others out there who would love to have this pattern, I'm posting it here! PLEASE NOTE: You may make items and sell them using this pattern, but PLEASE link back to the pattern and credit me as the source.

A Modern Day Martha

  And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things (Luke 10:41 KJV). Sometimes I believe the Lord looks down on me from above, shakes His head, and declares (and I’m paraphrasing here): “Honey, you really need to calm down.” I, like a modern version of the encumbered sister Martha, often find myself worrying over a great many things.  There is little doubt that there is a lot to worry over in day to day life. There are larger scale concerns such as inflation or simply the economy in general, countries at war, and potential for health crises, or the “smaller” things of life like a busted water pipe in your home or unexpected car repair. The list could easily go on and on, but instead of thinking about all the things we have to potentially worry over, I want to share with you something that the Lord showed me recently that made me really stop and rethink my thought processes regarding worry.   One day, while driving...
