Craftastic Link Party is On!

It seems like it was just New Year's and boom we're starting February next week!  But the good news is there'll be lots of Valentine's stuff coming soon.  And a bunch of other misc. craftiness too,  in case you're burned out on the holiday already or just wanna see the usual, random craftitude here.

I also wanted to extend a big thanks to all of you who have left sweet comments about the party or my projects lately.  Reading your comments encourages me to keep being creative with my crafting & tells me I'm not just blah, blah-ing to myself out here.  Seeing good "stats" is nice, but real people contact is nicer:)

Now on to the party.  Here are a few highlights for your viewing pleasure:

I just LOVED the ruffle topiary tutorial from Crazy Domestic.  Totally going to try this - I'm a sucker for topiaries of any type & these look so fun to make:

Check out this heart quilt by The Q and the U.  All those thin stripes are the selvages (the printed edges of fabric with the name, maker, color dots, etc.) that usually get tossed out.  What a great way to use every last bit of fabric!

And because I am addicted to party stuff, check out this awesome carnival party over at Cute As A Fox.  She's got all kinds of how-to's over there to turn the everyday into a kickin' carnival:

I'll now be leaving the party open until 11:59pmEST every Thursday, so there will be even more time to add your newest creations.  Can't wait to see what you've got!
