Miners in Uruguay have discovered an amazing heart-shaped Amethyst geode, right at the border of Uruguay and Brazil. When the miners have split the rock, they found an incredible gem inside and their pictures took the Internet by storm quickly.
Marcos Lorenzelli from Uruguay Minerals said that it was a difficult day that one, as the land, was not easy to work but all their hard work paid off in the end. When they discovered the heart-shaped geode they instantly knew that they’ve stumbled upon something truly special.

The mineral got the name „The New Treasure” and is now featured on Uruguay Mineral’s website where it is up for sale. You can either contact them to buy this specific one or look for similar amethysts on Etsy that have been polished and cut to look like hearts.

I found these days on Pinterst a very cute diy project that I want to share with you. There are a whole lot of little boxes and gadgets companies market out there, but they seem to lack a touch of personality. That’s why a DIY version of a basket is always an option. And making a crochet basket will give it a unique warmth. Store sweets or your important little items, or even gift it to your friend. Either way, here is what you will have to have and do:

• Zpagetti Yarn in pink and/or red
• a 12mm bamboo hook;
• Scissors
• (optional) stitch marker;
• a heart pattern;

Read all instructions in the link below.. for your aid is even a video tutorial..

Valentine’s Day Heart-Shaped Cake

If you ever had the feeling your table was too dull for your taste, then the solution is to follow this example and transform an out of use washing machine, into an original coffee table. Designed by Marco Pisano, an Italian passionate about crafts, this old washing machine was brought back to life with a colorful pink paint-over and heart-shaped pattern. With all of it machinery gutted-up, the former washing device is now creatively used for storage. Take it to the next level and transform it into a modern yet artsy table. You will only need a round piece of thick glass and some strong glue to paste it on the surface of the washing machine. Place the desk in the middle of your living room, and you will definitely impress your friends when they come over for a drink.
