I heart Christmas!

I have finally finished, I really really hope, making hearts for Christmas!

Last night I finished the Teacher pressies, and I have just wrapped them all ready for the morning...


I quite like this one, it is more of a squished heart than the others, as I was down to my last pieces of red felt, so a few more buttons were in order - the photo doesn't show just how bright they all are.

I also made another brooch, this one really is for my Mum...


I still have a few felty makes on the cards for my nearest and dearest, but the parliament of owls seems to have been abandoned for now - I have a New Year cunning plan, but I really cannot be thinking that far in advance just now, I have the small matter of a Dead Simple quilt to make by this time next week!

Before I set to answering Comments, or emailing a Wish List or two to my wonderful, gorgeous, generous husband, I must write our Christmas cards, otherwise they won't be landing on doormats until well into 2012.

It's the last day at work and school tomorrow, as long as the forecast snow and gales don't cause too much disruption, and I can't wait :)

  15. Hi, first apologies, I thought I was following you, but it seems not, so I am remedy-ing that as I type!

    Second, may I pick your brains? please. On your giveaway purse you had a little claspy thing to attach keys etc. What is it called, and where do I find these to buy?

    Sorry to be so cheeky!

    Love what you do, your hearts are lovely
