If you made a New Year's resolution to keep better organized, then you may want to check out these fabric storage baskets - they are fantastic! [link via Craft]
I had to do a triple take when I first saw this bag - I couldn't believe it was made from recycled plastic bags! This is definitely one of the best I've seen and now you can make your own with Craftastica's tutorial. [link via Whip Up]

Thanks for all the really fun links! I am fond of Valentine's Day and hearts and the happy color combos of red/pink/white so I will be downloading some of the crochet heart patterns.
(I tried a few times over some years to revive the old custom of making or buying and sending valentines to close friends and family but no one seemed to 'get it'. Christmas card burn-out? But I will be sending a *perfect* one to my sister, anyway. )

Cool! Thanks Stacy for sharing the link to my free Heart Yo Yo pattern and tutorial! That has been a popular little free pattern in the last year, and I'm glad a whole bunch of new folks are enjoying it, in part because of your delightful blog!
I'll be back to read more...and often!
Fondly,
