Was it me or did January go by really fast?! It’s like I blinked and here we are in February! A month with one statutory holiday in British Columbia, called Family day. Which I’m quite excited about because I’m going to spend it with, you guessed it, family… just not in BC. Most of our Family lives in Alberta so, that’s where we are going, to the land of snow. We’ll be having wiener roasts, drinking hot chocolate and snowmobiling! It’s been a while so I’m feeling romantic about it.
Appropriately so, considering the month. Love it or hate it, February is also the month of Valentine’s day! Everyone likes a little treat on Valentine’s day, so I’m sending mine to you early. . . and in the form of a calendar. Once again I’ve teamed up with Esmari from Warp and Weft Exquisite Textiles . Just click here and the February calendar will be yours to printout or to keep on your computer.
This month I used Merchant & Mills Fine Black Safety Pins, from their box of 5 pin set. They’re quite lovely and glide in and out of fabric. They don’t get stuck like other ones. Doesn’t that make you shiver when they do that? I kind of have a crush on the Merchant & Mills products but you might know that from last month.
From top right to left the lovely fabric used was :
- Damask, Aubergine- Spring 2013 – Ty Pennington for Ty Pennington Impressions
- Indo Sunset- Fall 2012 – Ty Pennington for Ty Pennington Impressions
- The Birds and the Bees-Squirrel – Tula Pink for Freespirit
Ty Pennington, isn’t Ty Pennington that hottie from Trading Spaces. I guess he’s better known for Extreme Make Over nowadays.
Then bottom right to left:
- Birds and Berries – Lauren & Jessi Jung For Moda
- The Birds and the Bees-Meteror – Tula Pink for Freespirit
- Bromely- Breeze Brown – Vicotia & Albert Museum for Rownan Fabrics
Have a lovely February, keep warm and know you’ve already received a Valentine treat! The rest will be gravy!
