A felted heart garland for Valentine’s Day.

February 11, 2014 Leave a Comment

Sometimes I love it when people use non-traditional colors for holidays.  Rather than go for the expected red and pink, Steph from The Silly Pearl made a really cool felted heart garland in cream and gold for a fun twist on Valentine’s Day decor. I have never done any felted projects before, but after seeing […]

Red Velvet Whoopie Pies for Valentine’s Day

January 22, 2014 Leave a Comment

I don’t believe I’ve ever had a Whoopie Pie.  (Raising 4 boys, Whoopie Cushions I know… Whoopie Pies, not so much.)  I know that is shocking to some of you, but I think it may be more of an East Coast thing.  Growing up in California, I had never even heard of them until a […]
