Time to think about Valentine's Day

I really need to get my rear in gear for Valentine's Day. I found these little squares that I cross stitched last year. I wonder what I was going to use them in?! Maybe a card? I will have to come up with some ideas...

Look at this beautiful cotton thread I got on ebay. I have a love/hate relationship with ebay. I love them when I'm a buyer finding a great deal, and I hate them when I'm a seller racking up fees everywhere. It would be nice if there was some other competition, so they didn't seem like such a monopoly.

Etsy, on the other hand, feels like more of a community to me. I have met so many really lovely people there.

I believe I will have to get some cross stitch ideas together with this fabulous thread...
