Making Valentine Treats from Candy Canes ...

Hello again bloggy friends!....I was just thinking...if you happen to have any leftover candy canes...you might want to check out these fun tutorials...
The cute valentine lollipops above were made by my friend Jodi over at Pleasant Home....if you want to make some...check out her tutorial here.
They are just so cute I love them!...Jodi really has a way of making everything adorable...well...you'll see what I mean when you get there.
And after that...take a looky at these awesome heart candys... made by Tiffany.... another great idea from Cute food for Kids....her easy tutorial is here.




After you have made your treats...you will need some sweet little treat bags to put them in....so go on over and visit Serena at one of my favorite places....The Farm Chicks.
She is offering them as a free printable. You can find the link by clicking here.
So I hope you havn't thrown out your cute little mini candy canes...if you still have them...recycle them into adorable valentine treats!
Have a Happy Tuesday...I hope you're up to something sweet:)

American Quilting

The other day I went to an adorable quilty shop called  American Quilting...


Amy is the owner and she has just the cutest quilt shop!


This is what it looks like right when you walk in through the door...


And then it is so much eye candy wherever you look!










These are just a few of the fun fabrics and quilts on display there...


Cute huh?...
The reason that I went there was to take in arm loads of my quilts for Amy to hang in the shop.
She had asked me if I could bring them in and leave them there a little while for a special "Bee in my Bonnet" trunk show...


My trusty sidekicks Nanette and Rae Ann met me there to help carry in my quilts and patterns and of course to do a little shopping!
Afterwards we enjoyed chatting over lunch.
Aren't they just the cutest friends ever?...I love this picture that I took of the two of them!

Below are my quilts that are now hanging there all together...



















So if you are in the area of Orem...and would like to visit my quilts up close and personal...head on over to American Quilting. (Click to go to their website for directions directions)
My quilts will be hanging there until February 11.
Have a quilty kind of day!

I heart perle cotton...

...I like to use it for several different things besides embroidery.

I love it's chunky texture and all of the lovely colors...

I keep mine on wooden spools to keep it tangle free and extra cute.

I stamp the color number on the spool so that I can replace with another skein when gone.
Later I will show you something that I recently made using perle cotton...
Have a lovely Tuesday my friends!
