for the love of valentines

In honor of St. Valentine, the patron saint of love and happy marriage, I’ve been on a quest for  inspiration for this mid-winter season of craftiness.

I already have a few tricks up my sleeve from previous years.

Last year I made swedish heart valentines – they’re easy and so fun to make.

And I did a little cross stitch too.  So perfect for a valentine, don’t you think?

I make my own cross stitch designs, since they are pretty darned simplistic.  Here are a few that i didn’t use, but may circle back to them this year.

I did make a cute love banner that I hung between the kitchen and living room.  Perhaps I should  go find it–it’s stashed somewhere in a desk drawer.

But what is inspiring me so far this year?  Pinterest is a pretty good place to start looking.  I’ve found no shortage of imaginative fabulousness.

I’d like to mash together a few ideas, like these fabulous images, from my own pins–
