I happen to be living with two very artistic and crafty roommates. One loves to sew, decoupage, and tackle any other DIY project that she’s inspired by, while the other is the master of all things collage and very brave when it comes to captaining maiden voyage projects that she has no experience with to date. I admire that kind of fearlessness, I tend to stay in my comfort zone for fear of ridiculing (myself to hard).

This year, we three are hosting a Valentine’s Day brunch and let me tell you I am BEYOND obsessed with looking for decor projects for our special day. I’m sure I’ll post pics from the actual event, so until then I just wanted to share what’s inspired me so far. Just click on the titles of each craft for the how-to.

Happy crafting!

Crayon Hearts

-from Martha Stewart (yes, she CAN do everything)

I think I’d be tempted to use twine instead of ribbon, I gravitate toward “earthy.”

Crocheted Heart Garland…for those of you studs who crochet.

Rob Ryan from Londontown.

November 15, 2010

Rob Ryan is an artist from London, UK that I have admired for a little over a year now. His artwork in combination with simple, heartfelt messages would be uniquely warm additions to any room in the house. Even you minimalists can appreciate the decorative simplicity that is all things Ryantown.

A few pieces that I fell head over heels for:
