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! :)

Things You Can Sell to Make Some Extra Money

Are you attempting to de-clutter your home? I moved not long ago, and was amazed at the amount of "stuff" I had amassed. I donated a lot of items then, but over the past few months decided to do another round of de-cluttering. However, this time, I chose to try to sell some of my "stuff". In today's economy every little bit helps! My parents and I held a joint yard sale at their home, and we ended up doing fairly well. I f you want to get rid of clutter within your home, then selling some of your belongings is a great way for you to do this. You can make a lot of money by doing this too! Below are some items you can consider selling, in case you're in need of a starting point. Childhood Toys If you find it difficult to let go of some of your childhood toys then this is understandable. I have my own beloved keepsakes that I'm not sure I'll ever be able to part with! However, choosing to sell them could pay off. It’s always worth going through your chi...

Winter Soldier Scarf & Semi-Pattern

Happy Friday! (And also Happy Pi Day, for those of you of the geeky persuasion!) This scarf began as one of those 'I want to make something for meeeeee' projects. I'd been buried under requests for things for others (which is nice, don't get me wrong), that it had been awhile since I was able to whip up something for myself. So one night I decided I'd stop at the store and buy myself some yarn to make myself a new scarf. Allllll for me.  I chose the colors originally thinking it would be a Thor-inspired color scheme, but once I started working I realized it was more Captain America-ish than anything. Which works just as well for me.  And so, I'm dubbing this my 'Winter Solider' scarf, in honor of the new Captain America move coming out in April! (And no, I'm not being paid to plug this movie by Marvel, I just love them is all!)   I used three colors of Caron Simply Soft Party yarn, which I'd never used before but ended up ...
