secret project number one...

So here's a project I did for a wedding of a gorgeous family friend...her amazing sisters managed to organise a secret hen party for her and they commissioned some felt hearts in the wedding colours to give each of the guests. they went down a treat and i was really pleased with them so i decided to list them as a custom item on my etsy shop... here they are :o)

buttons galore!

bonjour

i finally went through my various jars of buttons and sorted out some which i know i'll never. there'll be a huge bag going up on my etsy shop once i've taken it to the post office to work out how much it will cost to post. however, in the meanwhile, please enjoy yourselves with the two bags of flower buttons already up on my page, click the link next to the picture and it should take you there.
peace love and buttons

any excuse . . .

i quite like valentine's day. that does not mean that i'm a hallmark addict and that i expect roses and a three course candlelit dinner. in fact i HATE that side of things. i like that we have a day when you're designated to remind the person you think is lovely that they are very lovely.
so here are some cute little heart hangers i made and put up on etsy. ostensibly, they're designed to meet the needs of valentiners, but any excuse to make something with a heart on it is fine by me!!
if you click on the link next to the picture it should take you to the etsy page. fingers crossed.

in fact - do you know why we use the letter X to signify a kiss? back in the olden days of yore (when not everyone could write) if someone had to sign an oath or a contract and couldn't write their name, they would draw a cross and kiss it to represent their promise. the x then came to signify the kiss. happy valentines!
