Here for you now is a pattern for this month of February. I very much hope that it may inspire you to make some nice things with it. (And if you do, you will share them with me, too!)
Because I needed to make this pattern quickly, I drew only three shapes straight away - a heart, raindrop, and dot - to work with. I also wanted to use these particular colours together: warm pink, tomato red, and a soft turquoise blue. This is the month when my daughter was born, and these colours together seem to suit her character... I often use them all together when I make things just for her.
If you would like to, you may download a full page of this pattern here:
Using your desktop printer, you can print the pattern out, and make lots of nice things... perhaps some pretty little valentines. Or you can make and give away some lovely little matchboxes. Or cut and fold your own envelopes. Maybe make some flags for your homemade cupcakes. Or you can fold a bookmark for your sweetie. Or (like I will do) wrap a small gift for a sweet little girl you happen to know. Or you can keep it digital and use it for a desktop pattern on your computer, or even for a background for your blog.
Or collect all of the patterns up, one from each month and save them for the perfect project - I will try to download another pattern every month.
I sincerely hope you like my patterns very much, and that you can find many projects for them. Please do let me know!

Wow! I love this pattern, thank you so much for sharing it. It's very valentine :) So sweet how the colours embody your daughter's character. Please say happy birthday to her for me (in case I accidentally miss it).
How lovely! Wouldn't this be adorable printed on iron-on paper, cut into a heart, and ironed onto tee?
I agree! It's very pretty. Thanks for the download!
beautiful! thanks so much!
Beautiful. Thank you!!
My daughter is also turning 3 this month :) This suites her as well. I think it may be my favorite so far! Thank you for sharing this with us. I will be sure to use it.

i totally love these designs you've been making. thank you so much.
I want the pattern as my computer background but its saying I cant download it because its not a .pdf! Do you know what could be wrong?:(
this is a great project, these patterns are lovely!
I'm having a problem downloading, too. I get an error that suggests the file has been damaged.
I really love the February pattern...but I, too, cannot download it. (I actually couldn't download December's either.) Thanks for these patterns!
Lovely pattern, thank-you. I love the colours, and your daughter is adorable.
I too cannot download pattern.
Hi Everyone, thank you for visiting me, and for your comments!
Caitie, Aly, Steffy, Gabriella, I re-uploaded the pattern late last night and it took a very long time, so that might have caused problems with the file. I have now re-uploaded and had it tested on several computers so it should be working now. If not please let me know and I will try to track down a computer guy to find out what the problem may be.

Thanks again for the cheerful pattern
Thank You for this nice pattern, it's beautiful!
lovely and beautiful as always ;) thank you!
i adore your patterns!
Thanks for fixing it! Now, does anyone with a Mac know how to make the pdf file your computer background? Unlike in iPhoto, it doesn't have the "share" and "desktop" option! I searched around all the adobe options and couldn't find the correct one apparently! Any help would be great, I really love this pattern and want to look at it everyday:)
I love the pattern and especially the color scheme! I may have found the perfect inspiration for my little girl's room. Thank you!
i love these and print them two-sided, one month on each side. i have a plan to make something and will let you know when i do. thank you!
lovely. it reminds me of scandinavian mittens, which is a very good thing. :) thanks for sharing!
thanks sharilyn! we have it as the foundation of our february inspiration board :)

Thank you for the beautiful pattern! I made Valentine wrapping paper: http://themakingsofeveryday.blogspot.com/2010/02/pretty-paper-presents.html
Call me crazy, but I sure see a St. Patrick's Day design opportunity with a small color scheme change :) I love the pattern. March is my birthday so please make a pretty paper that my daughter will download, print, and wrap my present it! Thanks.
I made cupcake flags for my 1 year-old's little Valentine party!! Love the design! Thanks for sharing!

this one is my favorite so far--so, so lovely. Must be Adelaide's influence.
Sharilyn,
