I don’t know about you, but this week’s winter weather has me wanting to stay inside and wait for spring. While the snow and ice is starting to melt here in North Carolina, I’m still planning to spend my Valentine’s Day cuddled up and warm at home. If you’re staying in too, here are 5 things to inspire a celebration of all things heart shaped and lovey-dovey on Valentine’s Day!

5 Projects to Stitch for Valentine’s Day (+ 1 you don’t have to sew!)

February 10, 2014

I can't help it– I'm hopelessly in love with love as much as I'm in love with fabric and yarn! With Valentine's Day coming up on Friday, we've rounded up some quick projects that you can sew, knit, or crochet this week to show someone how much you care. The best part is, you can finish most of these with yarn and fabric you probably already have in your stash!

SEW lavender heart pillows that will smell amazing and add a pop of color to your space.

KNIT a set of conversation heart coasters to say how much you care.

CROCHET heart shaped storage baskets– who doesn't love a cute place to store odds and ends?!

EMBROIDER a heart design in french knots to make the perfect gift for your crafty friends!

SEW a set of pillows to complete a heart of gold!

And since Valentine's Day is this Friday and your week might be looking busy:

"SEW" these super-simple but oh-so-cute heart pillows with permanent fabric tape.

Whether you celebrate Valentine's Day or choose to hide from the droves of bears, chocolates, and balloons on Friday, we hope you'll take some time this week to celebrate all of the love and friendship in your life!

We'd love to know your favorite way to tell someone you care, so please do share in the comments!

Have a great week,

Becca
