I AM afraid I don't have very much in the way of CRAFT LOVE at all to show because....
A granddaughter and I bought the unfinished letters at Hobby Lobby. We picked out scrapbook paper we liked...I made the XOX and she chose to make P E A C E for her bedroom.I can not, for the life of me, find photos of those but I know I have them somewhere. HERS turned out MUCH cuter than mine.
It was a lot of fun making them together....
So, I am afraid this is all of MY CRAFTY LOVE I can muster for this day......
but I do have some more crafts to show you...crafts that some of my very good friends have done and so generously given to me.
********************************************************
BUT, first....*
....but I love the deep pink transfer ware and now I have somethingThis is another GOODWILL find..
Once again, I wanted to share these adorable place mats that my long-time friend, ALICE, made for me last year. NOW...this lady is talented. She is a quilt maker like no other....she made both her daughters wedding gowns...there's not a thing that she can't make BEAUTIFUL at her sewing machine.
See that little blue heart ??
Just a few romantic but faux tulips in a beautiful
box with HEARTS around the lid...Is there enough BLUE here to count, Sally?
For your snacking pleasure at this most delightful time of year,I am bringing you...
FRESH RIPE, JUICY, SWEET STRAWBERRIES,
A CHOCOLATE DOUBLE FUDGE BROWNIE
AND BAKED PEACH TURNOVERS....

Hello BJ! Your teaset is adorable and the XO letters turned out very nice. What a great touch to the guest room...Christine
Happy Pink Saturday BJ...
Sweetie, I love that little teapot and the sugar and creamer bowls. How very precious it is. Really it would go with a lot of tea cups in color. Wouldn't have to match perfectly. I love it though.
Now girl that Gloria made you the most beautiful tassel I have seen. My goodness it does look like Mary Engelbreight. It would go perfect in my very cherry kitchen. I love it. I am going to have to look at it really hard and see if I can recreate one somewhat similar for my kitchen. I love it. It looks bright and cheery like you BJ.
I sure did love those polka dotted place mats also. So beautiful.
Have a beautiful Saturday, please stop by and let me share my pink post with you. Country hugs and much love...Sherry

I always LOVE the letters done over with scrapbook paper. I keep wanting to do it myself but I just can't decide what to spell out. XOX is adorable, and the tassel, wow! You know I love it. That tea set would sure look good with my dishes...:>) Always fun coming for a visit BJ.
ALL of your cuties, yum! LOVE the teapot, why can't I find anything that good at Goodwill? arrrrggghhh! Love the tassel, how sweet. Have a good one dear BJ!
Hi friend. I love your Xs and Os. They are perfect for your house. That teapot set is sweet too. Now, that tassel is to die for! Love it.
'Morning BJ,
What a feast for the eyes your post is today! Those berries look scrumptious and I love your little tea set! Love that tassel with the tea pot too. Wonderful post! Happy Pink Saturday and enjoy your weekend.
Blessings,

Hi BJ,
Thanks for the warning on that snow wigdet. I hope people stop using it because I just find it kind of annoying.
Very cute XOX letters, by the way.
Have a great weekend!

Hi BJ! So glad you mentioned that snow effect thing at the top. I've had alot of people come over from your blog - let's get the word out!! Thanks friend!
Now - love all that Valentine goodness you're spreading around Sweet Nothings cottage!
xoxo,
Kim
You have a lot going on here. I'm not very crafty either...I love your letters. Did you Mod Podge them? That seems to be the thing around Blogland...not that I've ever done it.
Your teapot was quite a find. So pretty.
I have a snowman Gloria tassel...doesnt' she do a wonderful job making these darling things? Yours is so perfect for your house!
Good Morning my friend,
Girl you done covered a whole week of meme's here ha ha!! Love your letters...but the best part is the time with the grand kids don't you just love that..I seen my youngest one yesterday and he will be 21 in 2 weeks WOW!! now that makes me feel old ha ha!!
Glad you liked your tassel my friend and it is all your colors..May you have a GREAT weekend BJ. Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
Oh everything is beautiful, as usual. :-)
And oh I'm so glad to see you say that you are not crafty. I'm not, and it can feel lonesome sometimes. Because, so many in "Pretty Blog Land" are. But wheeeeeeeeeeeeee... I know someone else who isn't, too. :-))))
.♥.♥.♥.♥.♥.♥.
Love your x's and o'! Soooo cutee Did you use Modge Podge?
What a great find on the pretty teapot set. And I love your tassel!
Where do I start?! Let's see...the teapot tassle your friend made is just like a Mary Englebreit; the place mats are darling! They would go perfectly in my sister's kitchen as would the tassel. Her kitchen is black and red and she love Mary E.
I like your Goodwill finds-the tea set is so very pretty.
Your XOX wall letters are darling. Oh, and I love the Marjolein Bastin box your tulips are in. I've admired her work (and collected it when i could) for years.
I just knew that snow widget was bad cuz it slowed everybodys' webpage down. But, I didn't know it was evil. That's awful it took Kim's computer out.
Happy Pink Saturday, Blue Monday, etc.etc.etc ;)
Hi, Sugar Pie! Loved seeing this and seeing all of your pretties. Love that XOX, the tea set, the tassle, all...
Happy Pink Saturday, BJ!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Hi BJ,
I think the XOX looks just perfect. You have done a beautiful job on it. I think my favorite of your pink offerings today has to be the faux tulips. Yes, I think the tassel is perfect for your red kitche. :)
Oh, and thanks for the words of advice about the snow. I never did install it because it made the screen move in ways I didn't like.

Very sweet tea pot, and to get the other two pieces, too! Some people don't realize what cute things they have. I couldn't imagine giving that away, unless it was for a gift! Your tassel is also darling. Thanks for sharing.

All above is wonderful!
Happy Blue Monday...Luna
That was so cute!~ The tassel is my favorite!!~
Good morning BJ. Your post is all so SWEET (smile) I think your XOX is darling. It tells your guests you love them loud and clear. Good job.
Your blue is perfect. Love the strawberries and goodies. You know me, I love sweets.
A beautiful cold day and I am mailing your surprise.
Have a wonderful day BJ.
Love and hugs, Jeanne
It's refreshing to see the obvious delight you take in your home. And I agree, Goodwill rocks!
GHugs and kisses and hearts - it must be Feb 14, I'd say. But red is a wonderful color, on your beautiful dishes, and strawberries for dessert. The roses are wonderful rubies, a nice gift to receive, and admire too! Even tho I am big, I always enjoy the Necco candy hearts with the nice messages. Not at al tacky, but always fun!
Its so beautiful! I love it!
Oh my gosh, what a beautiful collection of rubies.
Valentine's Boxes
I love that little teapot and the tassel, so pretty!
The teapot set are the winners.
