This is a simple design I did for Valentine’s day.  I probably will be too busy to have more designs this year, but you could still check out some other Valentine’s Day designs I had from last year.  Anyway, it seems everyone is tight in budget since the economic crisis, so if you are not able to buy anything for your lover, don’t be depress, try to be creative! 

I would try to draw a poster.  Using doodles, don’t have to be perfect.  Doodle everything you know about your lovers, how you feel about him/her.  It probably takes time, but doesn’t cost much, and it shows how much you care and how much you know about your lover!

Since the weather is still so cold, I would sew a neck warmer.  Using recycled fabric from your old sweater.  It is simple, easy, and works well!  You could add a few decorative buttons depends for him or for her.  Here is a tutorial for sewing neck warmer, and I am sure you can google a lot of tutorials to help you!

There are many more ideas you can find it on internet, I am sure you will find one that suit your lover the best! Example: Instructables

What are the Valentine’s gift I would ask for?  Definitely…. I love to have more yarns!  Haha!

    Drawing a poster is not enough.. i am not convinced.
    One should have a fantastic way of expressing his/her love.. or even those who will try to propose should have a new style

    Haha My idea was using a large poster size paper, doodles were in small sizes, so they would form a beautiful black and white doodle collage. I shared the idea because it convinced me, I am a designer and I like art. If my lover would spend days to create a poster like this, I think it is priceless! When you try to do one, you will realize actually it is not easy, you need to really know that person to make that art work meaningful. For people who are in difficult situation, I believe their lovers would understand and love whatever they get if there are true loves. :) Please share your ideas too, so that I can learn and come out with more creative ideas. Thanks for stop by :)
