Hearts and Belly

Hope you all have a good heart day! I got a wild hair and decided that Aiko needed a Valentine's Day shirt, complete with heart elbow patches and a headband.  I thrifted the shirt with the intention of doing some embellishment and Valentine's Day seemed worthy.

I hope you all get the reference on her shirt. 

little late valentine's day

i was feeling the need to create something quick and festive for valentine's day.  i've been working on a couple crafting projects that are long ones and i needed to feel like i could actually finish something!  

i used the following:

some of the heart ornaments i made last year (using salt dough, cookie cutters and stamps) 

african beads hali brought back from ghana

sisal (from the dollar store that i already had)

pretty dang quick.

this is one of the lovely flowers auntie mitsie gave me!

another late valentine's day

so for valentine's we had over some family!  it was fun setting up the dinner table...even if i only took some paper doilies and ever so carefully placed them in the center of the plate. 

 we had a delicious meal and then ended the night with electric massages.  (as i'm writing this, someone just ran their fancy cadillac into the rocks in our front yard...it is snowing, so it is expected.)

auntie janet brought over this sketchy little machine with its sketchy instructions.

should i be worried that some little double aa batteries can inflict pain?

Valentine's Day 1 & 2

Valentine's Day Part I

Luckily, the Husband hates holiday rushes as much as I do. 

So, we usually go out for Valentine's Day the weekend before or after.

This time, we decided for a new place for breakfast...Jeremiah's in Ogden.

Let's just say. 

It was Delicious. 

Derek had Carmel French Toast.  While I ordered probably the worst thing I could have.

And, unfortunetly, loved every bite.  All of it in fact.

Sausage, Bacon, Hash Brown, Medium Fried Eggs and 2 Whole Wheat Pancakes. 

Hey, I had to throw in some kind of healthy.

To continue this romantic day. 

We headed over to Smith and Edwards. 

Which, basically, looks exactly like this sign above. 

It's basically a huge junk yard plus a whole warehouse of junk as well.

Which, is just up our alley.

And then, I found these.

I know. They are amazing. 

I loved how they even matched my tights!

Such a perfect end to a Walker Valentine's get it done early day. 

Valentine's Day Part II 

Actually on 2/14/2012

I actually spent it with three men. 

I know, crazy. 

Meet, Tom Walker and Brother in Law Hunter and of course, the Husband. 

(Side Note*  Brother in law Hunter wondered if I got my shoes (from above) from my Gram's.  I told him that if gram's would have had a pair, I would probably have worn those, but since she didn't, I bought these instead)

We went to dinner and movie.  

Precious i know. 

Then I found this with a card under my pillow!

(with a card that I had made, but no matter, I except nothing less from the Husband.)

Go Groupon and Husband!

1-Night Stay for Two in Any Room

The Historic Manti House Inn

Love that Husband. 

This is what I made for him...since he drinks Hot Chocolate every night.

The. Hu

Or Husband.  

Whatever you would like to interpret! 

LOVE

Harmony here.

Just wanted to show you my latest creation.

I got bored one Sunday. . . and apparently, this is called Bunting.  I found some felt, cut out some felt letters, got my trusty yarn and needle and went to work. 

A couple hours later I had this....just in time for Valentine's Day!

I really liked it.
