Will You Be My Valentine?

Today is Valentine's Day! I am not really a fan of this holiday but my husband and daughter are! And their enthusiasm is contagious...
 
Heute ist Valentins Tag! Ich bin ja nicht wirklich ein Fan von diesem Tag aber dafuer mein Mann und Tochter umso mehr! Und deren Begeisterung ist ziemlich ansteckend...
 
It started of with breakfast in bed served by Martin and Pasha! I received the most beautiful card from Pasha and a Pandora charm:

At work I got another surprise from Martin. He showed up...
 
In der Arbeit ueberraschte Martin mich. Er kam vorbei...
 
 

... with flowers, a love letter and a croissant in hand, asking me to be his Valentine!
 
Excerpt of Love Letter: "Our love is just a part, but a part that it had to have. Otherwise it would never have been. We the Brewer Family are as necessary to the universe as any great star, planet or galaxy. We are a part of the big bang that made life possible. I know when we look at the universe we can feel so insignificant. But we are a part. And without us, it would be less. It wouldn't shine as brightly as it does now, and it would be alone, colder, and just a little less full of life. And that is how I feel when I think of you my sweet. I would be less, colder, and a little less full of life!"
 
I melted!!!
 
.... mit Blumen, einen Liebesbrief und einem Croissant um mich zu fragen ob ich sein Valentin bin! Ich bin so geschmolzen!!!
 
Tonight we are going to celebrate together at our favorite Italian restaurant.
 
Heute Abend feiern wir drei in unserem Lieblings Restaurant.
 
I feel so loved!
 
How is your Valentine's Day? Do you celebrate?
 
Wie ist euer Valentinstag? Feiert ihr?
 
Take Care,
Me

Quick Valentine's Present

My last post has been eons ago. Sorry about that! A lot has happened since then: there was of course Christmas and New Years, my family came to visit twice; I tore some ligaments in my foot (my sewing pedal foot!!!), lots of stuff do to at work and not enough time for anything else! sigh....

But tomorrow is Valentine's Day and I was determined to give a bit of handmade love! I can't tell you who is going to be the recipient because she does read my blog sometimes :-)

But here it is:



Since I couldn't sew for a bit, I started some crocheting. I found this magazine in the iBooks store:



I love, love, love it! I have made already a flower (to accessorise a bag - I'll show you later!) out of it, those hearts and I am working on a blanket (which I'll also show you later!).

What do you think? Would you be happy to receive something like that as a small gift? 

I do have to admit that I am a bit unsure so I am also giving a gift card to Aeropostale as well. Better to be on the safe side because teenagers are so fickled in their taste! LOL

Take Care,
Me
