Valentine's Day Fun!

I think Valentines Day is such a fun holiday! Everything is pink which makes it even better! (;

I used a fun Pinterest tutorial on making shapes using washi tape. I LOVE washi tape! I had a heart on the card and then made a smaller one to seal the card. So easy!

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate buying a fun printed table cloth from walmart or the dollar store only to find out the middle is plain white? Pinterest had so many fun wine bottle covers for Valentines. Works the same on sparkling cider! 😋

A fun entry into the kitchen to surprise Danny when he came home from work! Pinterest and a printer are the best combination!

What a cutie ❤️

Pinterest Faves!

Pins I tried (that worked!):

Quick and Easy Breadsticks
These were so yummy! I cut the recipe in half, and we had leftovers that lasted one day... They were really good!

You Are My Sunshine Printable
I found this cute, free printable! It's framed in my living room now. I couldn't get the original blog to work, but I have the full size print saved if you want it!

Free Printable Calendar!
I used this calendar to plan out all my school assignments. So cute!

Easy Garlic Chicken
Danny loved this, I thought it was okay.. so it kind of worked!

Soft Pretzel Bites
These were so good! I think the boiling is the secret to good, homemade pretzels!

Pins still in the works:

Three Cheese Ranch Chicken

Brown Sugar Frosting
This makes me want to bake a cake!

How cute are these nails?!If I ever get around to getting a manicure, I want these!!

$5 Yoga Bag (or Cinco de Matto as my mom suggests!)

I started classes this week, one of which is a yoga class! I love it!
I purchased this yoga mat from amazon:

It works great, and it is so cute! But I wanted a strap or a bag to carry it. Amazon had a lot of options, which were either ugly and cheap, or too expensive ($60!) and cute. I pinterested (is that word?) some patterns, but I disliked them all. So I decided to make my own pattern! Which could possibly make no sense to anyone except me.
I measured my mat, which is 3 mm. It was 68 in. x 24 in. and rolled measured about 4 in. across.
Supplies:

1 yard (or less, of fabric. I had about 1/4 yd. unused)
Ribbon (Walmart had cute valentines ribbon for $1, I got some with a cute red stitching down the middle)
Linning (I just bought a fat quarter, Worked perfect!)
Interfacing (which I had and didn't need to buy)
Velcro
Totaled $5.81

1. I cut my pattern pieces:
1. Bag (fabric)
30 in. x 14 in.
2. Strap (fabric, interfacing)
3 in. x 33 in.
3. Bottom (fabric, linning, interfacing)
6.5 in.
4. Pocket Top (fabric, linning, interfacing)
8 in. x 3 in.
5. Pocket Bottom (fabric, linning, interfacing)
8 in. x 7 in.

2. Iron interfacing onto pieces 2, 3, 4, and 5.
3. Sew the strap into a tube and turn right side out
4. Sew top and bottom pocket and turn right side out, add velcro (I had two squares on each corner)
5. Sew bottom and turn right side out
6. Sew pocket onto bag
7. Sew bag into a tube and sew bottom on
8. Fold over the top of the bag twice to make a 1 in. pocket and insert the ribbon for a drawstring

and done!

So easy! I love it, and the pocket holds my cell phone (I used Danny's in the picture, but its too big) my ID, and my keys! All I need for class!

Christmas in Utah!

Danny and I got to spend Christmas back home in Utah, which was so much fun! A LONG drive, but very fun! 12 hours each way, and the drive home was filled with snow. Not so fun!
