I found this neat idea over at the One Sheepish Girl blog.
Here is a cute valentine you can make using a heavier weight paper and light weight yarn. What a neat idea to use up old cards, calendars and left over yarn.

Well another New Year has arrived and I thought I would share with you some of the recent things I have been working on.
In November 2010 I crocheted a Ripple Lap Afghan using the pattern from Classic Afghans to Knit and Crochet [Leisure Arts Leaflet 44]. I made it with Red Heart Worsted weight yarn in Light Grey and Burgundy, about 38″ by 38″. Just a nice size for using while reading or watching TV.
In December and January I crocheted four shawls for the Ladies Auxiliary here in Pangman, which shawls were donated to our Care Home. I used the Half Granny Square pattern which I found on the River Glorious World Blog.
The first winter that we lived in Pangman I finished off a Granny Square Afghan I had been working on for quite a while. This blanket is made from left-over yarn from my stash and from my late mother’s stash. I made up the squares in 2004/2005 and then finally during the winter of 2008 I finished up all the squares and crocheted the afghan together.
This past week I took it out and put it on the bed. It looks great and is very very warm.
I took a couple photos of the blanket on the bed. Of course, before I could take the photo of just the blanket, some of my cats snuggled up on it.
I was visiting the The Purl Bee site the other day and came across these cute crocheted bracelets. These bracelets were created by talented artist, Laura Normandin,

Do not know how to crochet, don’t fret, you can purchase these at Wren Handmade Etsy store.
Today I was searching the internet for some gift ideas for Mother’s Day when I came across some free knitting and crochet patterns for Bags, Purses, and Coin Purses. I think any one of these would be a unique gift to make for Mother’s Day.

I was thinking I would like to make up some flower pins to give as a gift for some friends. I have never crocheted or knitted flowers before, so I started searching the internet for some patterns.

I think that a handmade flower pin or brooch would make a lovely gift for mother’s day.
