So sorry to get this post up so late today. I am currently at the library due to a bad snow storm last night taking out our internet. I called our internet provider and they could not fix it over the phone…again. It seems anytime we have a bad snow storm, I can almost expect to be without internet. Knowing that someone out there might be looking forward to this post, I somehow got down our road (very icy and slippery) and once I was on the main road it was a breeze to get here. It is very quiet and warm in this library so maybe it would not be a bad place to come once in a while 🙂
Yesterday we had such a great time celebrating Saint Valentines day. I will share that tomorrow but today’s Pinterest inspired project is Valentine related. I never know what to make for Poppa, he is a sports guy and I just don’t get inspired to make sports things. I saw this pin and just loved it right away. I secretly worked on it a few nights this week once Poppa had gone to bed. He loved it.
I love how sweet it makes our bed feel 🙂 The pillowcases were aquired at a thrift store for .50 a piece…woot! They looked brand new and after a washing and iron all they needed was a saying. I picked a font that I liked and then printed it off at the size I wanted the words to be on the pillowcase. I put the paper inside the pillowcase and just traced the words with a pencil. Then put the pillowcase on an embroidery hoop and got to stitching. They are now my very favorite thing in our room.
So what did you make this week? I can’t wait to see it. Please post a link to the pin that inspired you in your post 🙂

Who wouldn't love to lay in that bed? So lovely. It makes me want to have breakfast in bed! I wish I knew how to embroider.
This makes me want to dig out all of my white pillowcases and go crazy with embroidery. What a wonderful idea!
thank you Leah! It was fun and he loved it
Those are adorable! I have a couple of white pillow cases that would be so cute like that! I am hoping to join in next week… lots of ideas, just so busy spring cleaning that I haven'y had much time to do anything pinterest-y . Soon though!
Rachel, I hope to see you then 🙂
What a great idea! You could do all kinds of phrases. I definitely need to brush up on my embroidery skills!
Sharron, it's so easy!! If you can follow a line with a needle and thread, you are there!
Oh, my goodness…how sweet! I absolutely love them! Nice job!
thanks Emily!!! Hope you are keeping warm up there!
