Terrific Thrifty Thursday #45

I am not going to do a 5 Fave Monday this week in case you were wondering. Here are some great projects from around the internet!

Adorable crocheted earmuffs from Sara in Akko. I might make a pair. :)
Crafty Staci has a tutorial for a camera lens cap pouch! This is great for people who misplace their lens cap.
I love this bolero from Sewing in No Mans Land.

Aunt Spicy (guest posting on Sew, Mama, Sew!) made adorable reverse applique pillows!

♥Love♥

Happy Valentine's Day! 5 Fave Monday will be a day late. Here are some love(ly) quotes:

"Friends... They cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams."
-Henry David Thoreau

"I love you, not because you are perfect, but because you are so perfect for me."
-Unknown

"A friend loves at all times..."
-Proverbs 17:17

A friend is someone we turn to
when our spirits need a lift,
A friend is someone we treasure
for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives
with beauty, joy, and grace
And makes the whole world we live in
a better and happier place.
-Jean Kyler McManus
{just because it's a cute picture: image source}

Valentine's Day isn't all about dating and chocolate. At dinner, my Mom made the theme God's love. We have to remember that Valentine's Day can be about loving other people besides your husband. Happy Valentine's Day!

Black and Yellow Nails

I did this nail design a few weeks ago:
{My hand looks a little pudgy here, but I promise you it's not really. :P}

It's not that fancy, but it's very fun and you can do this in any colours! I was going to do one of the designs from Simple Nail Designs, but it wasn't working for me. I changed the design, but I kept the colours and I loved it! It's sort of a bumblebee-racing car stripes-road inspired look. I'm not going to explain what I did, but if enough of you are interested I can do a quick tutorial for everyone!

I basically did my base coat, then the colours/design, then a top coat. The yellow was Avon Nailwear Pro in Sunshine and the black was NYC's Black Lace. I borrowed both from my sister.

I think it turned out good and I was happy with it. I love doing my nails, so look out for more nail design posts! I think you can count on something to do with February 14th. 
P.S. This photo was lightened a bit, but the colours are only a little bit lighter than what it looked like.

Terrific Thrifty Thursday #44

It's the forty-fourth Terrific Thrifty Thursday! Time for me to feature some great DIYs I have found on the internet!

The first is from Easy. It's a cute little plush heart crochet pattern! Very cute.

The second project I'm featuring today can be found on Crochet Spot. I love this heart scarf!

These projects have some things in common: hearts and crochet. ;)

Another Favourite Quote

I'd much rather be a woman than a man. Women can cry, they can wear cute clothes, and they are the first to be rescued off of sinking ships. -Gilda Radner
 
 
This quote is funny, but it's true. I mean, women can wear cute clothes, cry, and get rescued off of sinking ships first. :) The picture doesn't really go with it, but I like it. You can find it on my sidebar with some other quotes and pictures.
