Saturday's finds

A collection of things from around the internet that I like. Mostly Valenties day crafts (you can celebrate the whole month right?).

I really want to make a "pregnancy" version of this dress with some ruching at the belly, I think it would be oh so cute.... future DIY?

DIY: 10 minute valentines

Lets get real for a second if you have to make a bunch of valentines (work, your kids class, etc) then you need them to be fast and easy. Thats where this DIY comes in. It's a pdf version of some valentines I made three years ago because I liked Elsie's so much. I added one new couple group to them, Sam & Suzy from Moonrise Kingdom.

Here is a photo of how I displayed some in my apartment three years ago (I can't believe it was that long ago).  All you need to do is cut out the couples and glue them to some hearts you cut out!

And then here is what the valentines look like! I love all of these couples so so much!

If you click the picture it will take you to a website so you can download the pdf. 

I hope you have the best Valentines Day!

So last week I went to the Big Central Regional Barista Competition in Kansas City, MO. I was a volunteer and took two of our baristas from Greyhouse. It was a blast. I just love being around people who are so passionate about coffee. We stayed with our friend Sam and ate so much good food it was crazy. Here is a panorama from the WWI memorial that overlooks the city. (it's a little blurry because it was so windy we could barely stand still)

I'm in full planning mode over here. I have some new embroidered jewelry pieces in the works, as well as lots of baby DIYs because lets face it you knew that would happen the second I was having a baby. (Which I'm 16 weeks today only 4 more till we know if it's a boy or a girl!)

We are also planning on going to New Orleans in March with two of our friends who live in Florida. I couldn't be more excited to explore a new city.

I'm also really excited for Valentines day. I don't necessarily get all sappy that day, but I do love the candy and making valentines for my friends. ETSY posted these suckers and I think I might have to make some (but with no food coloring, and natural flavors, and maybe honey instead of corn syrup... haha). 

Have a great day I will be back tomorrow with Friday Feature!
