Happy Crocheting...
I decided to paint a new canvas to put on display for the month of February. I settled on simply painting my white canvas a shade of pink first. I made a heart for the letter “O”.
Simple and pretty to add to my seasonal decor...

Toilet Paper Roll Ornament
I had a lot of fun making these cuties for my two grandsons, Gabriel and Luke!!!! I like to make or purchase an ornament each year for my grandchildren that sums up the year for them. And, I think, the toilet paper roll fits each of them perfectly. They each are 5; started Kindergarten (home-schooled) and learned to go to the potty on their own. Using and minimizing toilet paper...lol!!!

Teal Twist Throw Blanket
I made this super soft and cozy throw blanket using Bernat Blanket yarn. It is a super easy pattern and works up really fast!!!
Size: 41” Width x 60” Length
I made these super quick, like 3 minutes tops for each one, and easy hearts to hang on my artificial tree in my sunroom. I love seasonal decorating and these hearts take literally no time at all to make!!!
Size:
I wanted a big “Heart-Shaped Pillow” to put out on display for the month of February and for personal use anytime of the year. I didn’t want a small pillow.
I set out to design a pillow that’s quick, easy, pretty and BIG. After I stuffed my finished pillow with Polyfil, it measured 19” x 15.”
