Galentine’s Day Card

Galentines day card

Galentine’s Day is  a day for women to celebrate their friendships with all the women in their lives. It’s Valentine’s Day with your gals.

The term Galentine’s Day is a blend of Valentine’s Day and gal and was first used by Leslie Knope (Amy Poelher), the fictional Deputy Director of the Parks and Recreation Department in the NBC comedy Parks and Recreation in 2010.

What’s Galentine’s Day? Oh, it’s only the best day of the year. Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas.
— “Galentine’s Day,” Parks and Recreation, 2010

The phrase was also mentioned in episodes during the 2012 and 2014 seasons, and by 2016 the idea began to show up in national and international publications, as people everywhere embraced the idea of a holiday for celebrating friendships.

Lion Heart Pillow Crochet Pattern

lion heart pillow

Now that the Christmas holidays are over, and the decorations have been put away for next year (we hope), it’s time to turn our attention to hearts and roses. Valentine’s Day is less than a month away, and I have so many ideas! It’s just so much fun to make cute pink and red animals, I can’t resist. The first Valentine’s Day design for the year is the Lion Heart Pillow, or as I like to call him, King Richard. Using Bernat blanket yarn makes the project go quickly, and he’s just so darned squishy!! Three different sizes of hearts are combined to make this sweet lion pillow for your special someone.
