I'm sitting here in a very wild and wet Somerset writing my blog, when I should be doing lesson plans, waiting for high tide this evening, and hoping the sea will stay below the sea wall!
I made Mr P-L a key ring for Christmas, based on the idea that I love him more than jammy dodgers. I did get a bit carried away and made lots, so those are now for sale in my
Folksy shop.

I was then left with all the little hearts I had cut out of the middle of my felt biscuits. So today, after forcing my children to write thank-you notes for their presents, I used the left over hearts to make some very simple thank-you cards of my own, to give to the children at school for their gifts they gave me.

The lovely gingham printed paper comes from
Mrprintables and I just glued the hearts onto the front. No where near as intricate as the ones you see on Wendy's Handmade Harbour, but I am pleased with them!

This week week I am planning to join in with
Handmade Monday and catching up with everyone, so I will finish by wishing you all a very happy New Year.

Quite right! This is definitely the evening for delaying lesson planning in aid of other things. I currently have my PJs on, G and T in hand and am enjoying the last few hours of peace!
I love your jammy dodger key rings and I applaud your resourcefulness in using the wee hearts too. I can tell your in education!
Handmade hugs to you x
Hehe i love your 2014 image!
Those jammy dodger key rings are soooo cute, i can see them being really popular - they'd make fantastic valentines pressies! x
I love your key rings! I always keep cut outs because you never know when they might come in handy.
Great key rings - I keep every cut out and scrap going - I think it's a possibly a bit out of hand with the amount I have! Great you used yours so quickly and cleverly. x
Oh, such gorgeous jammy dodgers! I love them! I am a sucker for gingham too and love that paper. Good luck with that sea wall!!!
Those jammy dodgers are gorgeous.....and what a lovely idea with the cut out hearts.
Stay safe and fingers crossed for you with the sea wall. x
It's wet & windy here in Cov too so I've been crocheting all day!
Love the Jammy dodger key rings, ever since Dr Who waved them at the Daleks a year or two ago they have been my youngest's favourite biscuit!
I don't like wasting craft scraps either. I've recently acquired a cricut machine, which means I end up with the 'negative' of everything I make with it. I've kept the lot in case I need them.
The jammy dodgers are gorgeous, almost made me hungry!!!
Lovely jam tart keyrings, and I love the sentiment that goes with it too. Have a good week
Love your jammy dodgers. They are just scrummy.
The cards might be simple but they are lovely and effective. I'd be happy to receive one!
What a good idea! I was going to get some photos cards made up but why not just make the thank you cards! That's this evenings project sorted then! :-)
That a brill idea. Love the jammy dodgers. I do hope the water doesn't breach your house.
