pocket square perfection

I have been searching for pocket squares for weeks. I knew I wanted a variety of patterns. I knew I was going to sew a little something on them. I found these squares at Hugh & Crye. I really liked the fun patterns, and the great price, so I snatched up a bunch of them.

I wanted to make them a gift for the men in the wedding. I cut out some little hearts, and sewed them into the corner of each square. What was once just a pocket square is now a special gift, because I put a little heart into it. (get it??)

some hearts

I am so happy it is the weekend. Some weeks just suck all the life out of you. I am glad to have a few days of calm to recharge my heart again.

cows on cards

It was my dear Ma’s birthday last week. I like to make her blank note cards, and since there was just a new baby cow born on the farm, I made a bunch of little cow cards. The little gang of paper cows were very rowdy before I glued them to their cards. They were so adorable, I wanted to eat them.

little heart pies

I found these little heart pies on sticks the other day. Does putting paper sticks in the oven scare anyone else? The guy was out of town this week, and I didn’t really feel like catching on fire while he was gone, so I decided to go stick-less with my version.

I followed the basic idea of the link. Pie crust cut into hearts. I used the jam filling from when I made these. I really think good pie dough baked with anything tastes like heaven. Next time, I think I will try rolling out the pie dough even thinner, and trying to use more filling. Maybe even an apple or pecan pie filling… I love that these are portable little pies. Its like I can take them everywhere with me.

Those little conversation hearts are always one of my favorite parts of Valentine’s season. I think I still have boxes of them hoarded from last year…

I sewed up this little plush rendition for my Valentine. Hope he gets the subliminal message.

no, thank you

During the holiday yesterday, I decided to remember how thankful I am, and make some thank you cards. My ma used to make us sit down and write thank you notes after every Christmas, but these ones are voluntary.

I got the idea for the triangle style heart off of pinterest, but now of course, I can’t seem to find it again. (Update: found it!) But I thought it was a cute idea for a little quilt-y looking heart. For a homemade heartfelt thank you.

(A pretty heart idea for Valentines too!)
