Because My Vinyl Designer has donated a prize valued at almost $200 to giveaway to one lucky blanket maker! WOO HOO!!!

3. Winner of fabric giveaway was number 10.  Picked by Random.org.  And there's no screen shot.  Sorry guys.  But i'm no liar.  All fair in craft world.  It was Crystal.  Yea for Crystal.  I emailed you.  Email me back!! :) Crystal made a lovely comment on this fabulous art work:
Crystal said "I would have left a comment on Josh's artwork anyway because, it is awesome! That would make a cute card or a calendar page."

Thanks Crystal!!

Sew This:
I just love love love this scarf from Living with Punks.  And her boys are adorable.  I’m sure gap will be calling soon!!! I think I see their new ad!   :) But back to the scarf.  Yea. Isn’t it cool?  I’m supposed to be de-junking but this really makes me want to go thrifting and find some cool tshirts!

Sew 4 Home has these must have pot holders on their blog right now.   Currently they are doing a scrap series – you should check it out!
You want pillows?  I found pillows!  First this *adorable* gathered heart pillow from non-other than V&Co.
Next this awesome Hand in Heart pillow from A little great.
And this ruffle burlap pillow from coffee at three.  I love me some b.lap!
Craft This:
I love working with felt.  The Iowa Farmer’s Wife must too because look how awesome this car mat is!

If I would have told my mom that in exchange for eating my Lima beans I would make her one of these wreaths…do you think It would have worked?  I’d have to seriously consider a deal like this….because look how pretty they are! {The Crafty Gals}

The Speckled dog has a tutorial on how to glaze.  I’ve never tried it before.  But her tutorial is really clear and it makes it not so intimidating.  So….hm.  What can I make over?
Craftberry bush has been making the most of this winter wonderland.  She’s made lovesicles.  How cute!
Oopsey Daisy made this cute wreath.  Does it seriously get better than burlap and lace? I don’t think so.
Print This:
Poca Cosas has the cutest little Valentines … Love them!
Need treat bag toppers?  Head on over to It’s a Crafty Life!
Valentine Fun with Guest Blogger Jo-Ann Coe - Love is Sweet Labels!
I want to print these water bottle labels for Josh’s Valentine’s Day Party at school.  These are from a guest post (Pumpkin Petunia) at Kind of Matter.
You Are... IMAGE
I’m pumped about this Just Because Series from Sprik Space.  Love it!
Modern Kiddos has a super cute chore chart for your printing pleasure.
Eat This
Talkin’ Chow Playin’ House has tons of yummy recipes.  But I love this any fruit will do crisp because…well.  Any fruit will do! :)

I’ve never featured Pioneer Woman before.  Mostly because 1.  All of her stuff is amazing. 2. Chances are you all read her anyways.  But Andy would love this Cherry Cake Pudding.  And so here it is.  A reminder to myself to make it.  Sometime.  {It’s the thought that counts right?  Happy Valentine’s Day hunny I thought about making you this…Ok maybe not.}
My Grandma used to make turkey tetrazzini when I was little.  YUMMY.  I haven’t had it since.  So I will be checking out the recipe over at Simple as That!
Bubble and Sweet hooked me in with this picture?  Doesn’t that peanut butter chocolate brownie look yummy?  Quick someone make it…taste it.  Tell me how it is!

Food Wine and Mod Podge has something a little more on my diet menu.  And still yummy.  Homemade granola bars. Mmmm! {And I totally need that cup...}
AND a big thanks to everyone who wrote to me in helps with our nightmare situation.  I made some good dream juice (spray bottle with water and glitter).  You may have heard of it as monster spray.  But ... if there are no monsters why would you need spray? Get my thinking here.  And guess what 2 nights...no nightmares!  YES! {I told him it's made with fairy dust.  Each color is from a different fairy.  So I guess shame on me for just adding to the fact v fiction problems.}  He's still having really bad anxiety -- something is def stressing him out.  I just don't know what.  :( One battle at a time though right?!
