Do We Ever...

The sentiment is universal around here. We love Dad. 

Happy V-Day fella.

Love and Pintrest.

This is turning into the week of Pintrest. There's just so much delightful stuff on there. And in the 4 days I've been using it I have been uber inspired, so...the Week of Pintrest.

Stuff like this...

Found this beautiful image - a great Valentine's Day photography idea - on Pintrest. 

Pintrest is smart. 

So today, when the Hazemeister zonked out on my lap, I went for it.

Once she was real warm and snuggled I gently brought her arms together and started working her fingers into a heart. Bless her little soul, she LOVES to hold hands, so she kept trying to hold my hand in her sleep. Melt. But eventually she made the little heart hands. Dreamy.

 And my dear darling Amos came to snuggle with us. It was the sweetest.

 Oh. My. Word.

And the word is love. 

I'm clutching my bosom. Who can resist with all this love around.

Moving this to the Saw it on Pintrest and Made It! board. That brings the total up to 4 (not counting the 3 other ideas I pursued today that I haven't even told you about yet). I may have to quit my job.

Valentine's Dance

...but the IS yo' Mama's Flash Mob. 

So, I've been dancing around (pun intended) this topic for a while now. I keep mentioning the dancing and alluding to information that is forthcoming. So I guess it's time for it to come forth. 

I had a dream. And, holy smokes, I'm just realizing now literally as I'm typing this, that I had it on Dr. Martin Luther King Day. No joke. 

I digress.

Anyhoo - I literally woke up on MLK morning with the complete vision of a flash mob. And since it was my New Year's resolution to be in one, I paid attention. Every detail was laid out in the dream. It was Valentine's Day. It was at Mellow Mushroom. It involved pizza dough tossers. It was to the tune from the opening of the Muppet Movie, "Life's a Happy Song." And I was to choreograph and organize it. And it's happening. 

If you're in the Denver area and you want a piece of this, check out the full details, including a training video for the dance here (you can also click on the Valentine's Day tab at the top of the page under the header photo). 

So, for google's sake and to summarize, 

Valentine's Day 2012 Dance Flash Mob in Denver. Be there.

Love. Hope you have heaps of it.

There's a photo I would love to use as a Happy Valentine to you, beloved readers. It's of sweet Dizzy's tiny baby derriere. Y'all, he had (and still has really) a perfect little heart shaped arse. And I have a fabulous photo of it, which I can't bring myself to post. But if he ever crosses me, I may change my mind. I'm just sayin'.


So, in lieu of the hearty hiney...

Owl Be Your Valentine...

So it's not exactly a pot. But it is a jar. That head comes right off and you could store all sorts of V-Day goodies in there. Plus, it means his head revolves a full 360 degrees, all spooky like a real owl.

I decided with every piece I make these days I'm going to do something I've never done before. The first pot I made was a bowl and I cut and chopped and added and carved the heck outta that thing. So, second pot, I made a jar. And I thought, "I've never made an owl jar before." So I did it.


I hope you are all feeling the love today! The fella and I had a lovely V-Day date on Saturday (since he's working for the Big Guy tonight (teaches Bible Study)). We did dinner and a movie and began the "Big Baby Name Hash Out of Ought Eleven." We should have waited to hash until we at least know who's in there. Half the hashing...you know?

What are your V-Day plans...hopes...dreams? Hope they all come true.
Hope heaps of sweets are showered upon you.
Sweet treats, sweet words, sweet nothings, sweet lovin'...the whole bit.
