Glitter is for life

I love you more than jammy dodgers
I have decided that glitter isn't just for Christmas! I bought some fabulous glitter fabric from Paper and String to use at Christmas, and it was so lovely to use that I have carried on!
This fabric is easy to cut, doesn't fray and just looks so good! To be honest I haven't tried it in my sewing machine yet though.

With Valentines day coming up, I used the glitter fabric to revamp my 'I love you more than jammy dodgers' range, and I am really pleased with the results!

Getting crafty

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 love you more than jammy dodgers!
 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.
I don't waste anything!
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.
Happy 2014
