The Inspiration Board: creative party spotlight ~139~

Oh my – The Inspiration Board was amazing this week. Lots and lots of fantastic link ups. Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing your creativity here on homework. If you didn’t get to stop by this week, here’s a little recap of what I shared.

Easy Valentine Candy Tubes  |  Winter Whites  |  Vintage Button Valentine Heart

Now on to the featured projects in the spotlight this week.

CELEBRATIONS: Vintage Button Heart

I had this idea to use up some of my vintage buttons and create a little heart on an embroidery hoop. I naively thought that I had come up with some sort of original idea to create a little heart. Ha – I checked Pinterest and I discovered there are entire boards dedicated to button hearts on embroidery hoops. There are even hearts using red thread which again I thought would be original. Oh well, I decided to go ahead and create the little project that I had visualized even if it’s been done many, many times.

If you need to make some Valentine treats to hand out in your child’s classroom it doesn’t get any easier than this.

Welcome to The Inspiration Board Creative Party. I can’t believe it’s the last week of January already. That means we are that much closer to spring. Can you feel it? I’m starting to see spring colors popping up in projects and I think everyone is eager for winter to be over. What have you been up to? Getting ready for Valentine’s Day? Are you still organizing closets and cupboards? I can’t wait to see.

So let’s get the creative party started.

FRESH LOOK: Winter Whites

Even though the weather has been unseasonably warm here in Southern California, it’s still winter to us. I know – if you have snow outside your window you’re probably laughing at me right now. But I want you to know that it’s chilly here in the early morning and in the evenings.

The Inspiration Board: creative party spotlight ~137~

Happy Friday everyone and welcome to The Inspiration Board Spotlight! I love looking through all the linked up projects and featuring some of you in the Spotlight. Things are starting to get back to normal at Casa de Homework or at least not quite as out of control as during the holidays and the immediate post holiday frenzy. How about you? Are you starting 2014 caught up, organized and ready to take the year by storm? No… me neither but I should be ready by mid-year or so.

If you didn’t get a chance to stop by this week, here’s a little recap of what I shared.
