Happy Valentine's Friday!

How awesome is it when Valentine's Day is on a Friday?

Here are two of my favorite Valentine-related giggles to come from the internet in the last couple of years:

Happy Friday!

A Little Bit of Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day was busy. Here are a couple of V-Day highlights. (Excuse the photo quality, blah blah blah. It was night time, I had my flash on, and a not-so-good photo is better than no photo at all, as far as memory preservation goes.)

Anyway. The Boy made valentines for his grandparents. We started out with the embroidered card tutorial I blogged about earlier, and we ended up with this:

And the cookies. Oh my heck. Delicious.

I used cherry juice in the frosting. Pink, cherry-flavored frosting is better than red dye #40 any day--and especially on Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentine's and Friday! (Or Something...)

Dang it, I meant to blog earlier this week, but here we are on Friday again. Ah, well. Life got in the way, I guess.

Today is not JUST Friday...it's the Friday before Valentine's Day. So, here's a Valentine's Day giggle for you (the Trotsky one gets me every time):

The Yarn Octopus Looooves You

Octopus. Valentine's Day. Hmmm...

 

I've been trying to use up some of my yarn scraps. I used this tutorial to make a yarn octopus out of some pink yarn that I wasn't using for anything else...and then realized that the octopus just happened to match my Valentine's Day decorations. But what does an octopus have to do with Valentine's Day? 

I don't know. Octopuses (not octopi, fyi) have lots of arms, so...they're good at hugging? That's Valentine-y, right? I'm going to go with yes. Because the octopus looks pretty darn cute with all my other pink decorations.
