How to Make Homemade Valentine's Day Cards - Tutorial Tuesday

Make Homemade Note Cards for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Thank You Notes, and More!

With Valentine's Day coming up next month, I thought it would a good time to bring back this handmade Valentine's Day card sewing and crafting project idea. If you have some extra fabric scraps or strips just hanging around you'd like to use up, this quick and easy project could be just what you've been looking for.

For this project you will need:

• Fabric strips, 1” to 1 ½” wide in varying lengths
• 8” x 10” piece of muslin for foundation
• Cardstock
• Iron
• Pinking shears and scissors
• Sewing machine
• Matching thread
• Envelopes
• Heart template from the pattern

Foster Kitten Friday - The New Year's Edition

Happy New Year from the Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild West Gang!

It's a new year and everyone is taking on a new role.

Annie Oakley is the thief, stealing a kitty blanket away from me...

and dragging it across the room.

Scratch that. Wild Bill is the thief, taking the tape measure when I was trying to remeasure Wyatt Earp's legs.

Now I remember...Annie Oakley is the jumper. Straight from the floor to the counter-top height table in one swift move. (And barely captured by my camera.)

No, wait a minute. Calamity Jane is the one who is the jumper.

Feet in the air in this picture.

And Wyatt? Well, he's the three legged cat who takes over my keyboard...

and the back of my recliner any chance he gets.

Want to help contribute to the work I do with foster kittens? I have an Amazon wish list right here. These are the things I use again and again, year after year. With daily laundry and frequent cleaning, items have to be replaced often. I’d love anything you’d be willing to send my way!

What? Did I say three legged cat? Sure did. You'll have to watch his video to find out more...
