My Heart on a String.

This all to cute craft is actually a catnip toy.

and my cat as you can see has enjoyed it very much.

These little beauties are in the process of becoming Valentines for my friends with cats...

As you can see I made a couple of larger ones that are just filled with stuffing (no catnip) for decoration, or that special someone/friend. I made them out of a softer more delicate yarn that I tried out but deciced wasn't cat friendly. Basically I was worried she might eat it. If you want to try this all too cute knitted heart and give it to your special Valentine here's the link.

Happy Hearting.

It's snowing marshmellows!

I simply LOVE these marshmellows...

I made these cute snowflake marshmellows and I now that I have I don't think that I can go back to the store bought variety again.  They were really not any more challenging than making candies at Christmas.  I would definately recomend making your own sometime for a long cool weekend when you want to build a fire, read a book and drink some cocoa. If you cut them into heart shapes they would make for some really specially valentines marshmellows, what a sweet idea. :)
