Here is a round up of some Valentine’s Day crafts and treats that caught my eye.

Diy Art

Painting is not really in my wheelhouse but I think these Love Letters from We Lived Happily Ever After are just gorgeous and would love to give them a try.

I’ve always wanted to do one of these string art projects. This one is over at Green Wedding Shoes is really cute!

How about some Scrabble tile inspired coasters from blue I style?

Hand Sewing

I just LOVE these mini hoop hearts by Laurenmakes. They are super simple but striking. I think they are so adorable and they are on the top of my make list right now!

And how cute is this little felt love note hoop by Amy Chappell from Ameroonie Designs at the Polka Dot Chair.

Machine Sewing

I also found a couple of adorable pillows to add to my Valentine pillow collection. First up is this adorable Love You Pillow by Amanda at JediCraftGirl guest blogging at Amy Smart’s Diary of A Quilter.

And how about this cute heart pillow by Anna from Noodlehead guest blogging on U-CreateCrafts.

I don’t really sew plushies but these Love Koi by Sew Desu Ne? on Blueprint are making me rethink that!

I also saw this felt heart table runner at Pottery Barn Kids. This would be so simple and cheap to make and they want $39.00 bucks for it?

I LOVE this one by Center Street Quilts. I might need to make one of these!

Sweet Treats

How about some delicious treats? I love a quick and simple yummy treat and this bark from Lauren at Delish looks amazing.

And who doesn’t love a yummy Rice Krispy treat? These from Midwest Living look so good!

I’ll wrap up this post with these Cookies ‘n Cream Strawberry Cheesecake Bars from Creme de la Crumb look amazing! I think I may be able to get Sam into making these with me!

You can find my treat bag tutorial here.

My Valentine pillow covers sew up quick! You can find the patterns here. They are on sale all through February.

And if you’re looking for a little bigger project, try out this Flying Home pattern. It is 30% off all month long.

I’ve also been meaning to make a Valentine version of my Christmas Cards quilt using some reds and pinks and calling it Love Notes. Can you see it? You can find the pattern here.

I hope these ideas have you inspired! I know I am, and I think I have a few ideas of my own!

To get started, you will want to prepare a 9″ cake pan by spraying it with cooking spray or coating it with oil. Set this aside. (I usually use a 9″ leakproof springform pan.)

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter, whisking occasionally until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil and do not stir, cooking until caramel thickens and turns a dark golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in 1 tsp. salt. Pour into prepared pan and let cool about 30 minutes.

Add pineapple slices evenly over caramel.

In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk together milk, egg, and butter. Add wet ingredients to dry, whisking together until just combined. Add to prepared pan.

Bake at 350° for 30-45 minutes until toothpick in center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for approximately 30 minutes. Run sharp knife around sides of pan to loosen cake. Invert onto a large serving plate.

Note: I recommend using light brown sugar. You can use dark brown sugar and it will still taste amazing but I think the lighter brown sugar makes a prettier cake.

I hope you enjoy! If you make it, I’d love to see it! Tag me on social media @fourrobbins
