Valentine’s Treats and Ways to Show Your Love All Year Round…

If it wasn't already very obvious our girls are our true loves here at Lark! We wanted to treat them with something tasty this Valentine's Day so we've added a few of our fave recipe ideas below if you also want to spoil your pampered pooch. We would love to see your bakes if you do decide to make them, so please share with us on our socials!

Treats!
1. If you're not big on baking then these frozen dog treats are a perfect simple solution. They use only two ingredients - strawberries and coconut oil. Nutritious and delicious! Check out the recipe here.
2. How sweet are these conversation heart cookies! You can personalise them for your pup and tell them how much you love them with this recipe.
3. These cinnamon honey donuts look good enough to eat! If they're good enough for us, they're good enough for our furry friends. Here is the recipe for these sweet treats.
4. These cookies incorporate a doggie favourite, peanut butter! You can cut them into cute shapes using a cookie cutter or just go with the classic. Either way they're bound to be a hit with your pup!

If you've got limited time and some fabric scraps we have the perfect DIY you can make to brighten a special someone's day!

1. You'll need some spare pieces of fabric, a pair of pinking shears, wadding (optional!), ribbon, and any embellishments you'd like. I used buttons, beads, and ribbons...
2. Start by creating a heart template with some paper. Using your pinking shears, cut around your pattern with your fabric folded in half so you create pairs of hearts. Cut as many you fancy (I went with 12).
3. Using a machine or hand sewing, add your decorations to the hearts.
4. Next, sew your heart pairs wrong sides together, with a very small seam allowance (this makes sure we keep the heart shape!) Remember - on either side of your hearts, you need to leave a symmetrical gap in your stitches, in order for you to thread the ribbon through.
5. Next, use your wadding or smaller fabric remnants to stuff your hearts.
6. To create the garland, thread your ribbon through every heart. Using a safety pin will make this a lot easier. Enjoy!
