At the beginning of this month I hosted a Valentine-making party where my friends and I made cards for friends and family.
I made one ribbon-stitched card, one embroidered doily card, and one quilled card before settling on the final design of a bird with a banner, toile, and textured ribbon - the prettiest design as well as the easiest to make in large quantities.
Then I made about a dozen more bird cards and mailed them away.
I also made some Valentine's brownie cupcakes for the party.
I used Pediapress to make Dev a custom encyclopedia on the topic of Extreme Geography: The World's Most Isolated Places, featuring remote destinations like the Pitcairn Islands as well as a List of Places with Fewer than 10 Residents.
I also made him homemade ice cream sandwiches with peppermint ice cream. (Dev had been wanting peppermint ice cream since Christmas but we couldn't seem to find it anywhere - all we could find was mint chip ice cream dyed pink and dubbed "peppermint" for the holidays, but what he really wanted was vanilla ice cream with chunks of peppermint candy in it. I used this recipe for the ice cream and this for the cookies.)
