I was struggling to move on from Christmas crafting to doing some serious work so decided I would try and incorporate the two! I've become obsessed with how I can use dictionary paper (see banner!).
Now, Cleggy and I don't 'do' valentines day (he declared early on that 'every day is valentines day'...) but I love hearts (who doeasn't?!) so designing products for the day of love is a pleasure.
Here are this years offerings:
(all available here)

| The little tile is made from fimo (still addicted) and has a tiny key embedded into it. |
 |
| This one can be personalised on the back - and has a tag with two cut out hearts. Good present for hard to buy for men. |
I did make some with other papers:
I'm also struggling to wean myself off Pinterest! I've seen this idea stitched in a couple of places (pinned here and here) and just had to try it...
It was a fun photograph to play around with
It's a year this week since I started blogging - how glad I am that I ventured into this inspiring world!!!

I love your Valentine blocks...especially the one "I love you more than cake"...that is so cute! I have to say that I am a sucker for Valentine's Day. The hubs and I don't really do anything or exchange Valentines...but I think we have on occasion...it's usually me that makes a handmade card to stick in his lunch box or something like that. But anyhow, to me, Valentines Day is more about those sweet little cards we exchanged as children in school, decorating a shoe box with foil and heart stickers, racing home through the snow with my box full of Valentines and lollipops, dropping everything in the middle of the living room floor as soon as I got in the door so I could open my box and read each Valentine very closely, and really hoping that I would find a Valentine from a boy in my class that secretly admired me and then my heart would be filled with joy...but...I never did get one of those. But, I can tell you, that the Valentines I got from the boys that I liked...I would read and re-read to try to see if there was any hint that he might have picked that particular card out for me especially. So funny to think back on that stuff. Those are treasured memories and that is why I love Valentines Day. To me, it's foil wrapped shoe boxes, I choo choo choose you train valentines, snow, mittens, lollipops, and the hope and promise of a secret admirer!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your first year of blogging! Yay! Loving this post and the new header is super duper!!
ReplyDeleteJo x x x
Yes love the header, and as always your work is fabulous! :) What an old romantic "every day is Valentines" (ha ha) ;o) A year of blogging, it's just great isn't it? I don't know what i'd do without it!
ReplyDeleteAch, everything I write sounds like a pun. I 'love' them. See?!
ReplyDeletexxx
Weeeee! My word verification was Spodula. That is fab!
ReplyDeleteI once again Love, Love, Love your art Miss Fee!!!! You did it again! :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd your banner is fabulous! Can I use any more exclamation marks?! ;-)
Love the crochet makes - its quite addictive isn't it. Hadn't though of tealight holders - another reason to save pretty small jars then :)
ReplyDeleteLove the hearty makes too :)
Fee you're work is always soooooooooooooooo beautiful and so gorgeously presented, I love your new designs, especially the little stitchy heart and the key - so so cute! I've also had a day of designing for Valentine's - aren't hearts just the most fun thing to design with? I've only been using a simple heart motif but done quite a few different designs today (well OK they are all pretty much a variation on the one design really but it makes me think I've been more productive if I say I've done 4 new products, hehe!) Have a fab rest of the week xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you started blogging too - really enjoying reading!
ReplyDeleteLove all the Valentines cubes. Mr Jam and I are a bit like you and rubbish at remembering anniversaries and the like.
Happy making!

Yes I'm so happy you started blogging too - happy anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love these blogs. Will be placing an order at the end of the month (why is January such a dry month financially???! Ah, that'll be Christmas...)
Have I 'wowed' at your crochet jar holder before or have you just nonchalantly thrown that in?! Get you! I remember you couldn't crochet about three weeks ago (or something)!! Lovely. Love the dictionary paper idea too.

PS please don't forget to answer my boring decoupage-y questions from previously!!!! :-)
Oh my, LOVE them. Cake one is fab, nice new papers in red and do I spot a little something coming our way?
ReplyDeleteI hope I do, oh yes I do, oh yes I do...
(please don't be some new camera trickery)

Love is in the air ...your blocks are adorable! Such joy over here everytime I visit...hugs and love to you. xoxoxo And no I didn't buy a zoo...but it is something that has crossed my mine. I think you would have to join me on that adventure.
ReplyDeleteYou are once clever Missus!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe it's been aaaaages since I've been here last- sorry 'bout that.
Beautiful blocks- clever idea about using dictionary paper too.
I love a bit of Fimo too- it's marvellous stuff, isn't it? Takes me right back to being a kid again..!
Ahhhhhh, the good old days.
Enjoy the rest of your week!

love , love , love the valentines blocks , we dont do valentines either but you are tempting me - although lets not beat about the bush - i may buy them for him but we all know who they are really for ......?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your blogaversary!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one that's been getting stuck into some Valentine's crafting, I've already made my husband's card and crocheted a string of red hearts into a garland to hang in the dining room on the day.
Loving the 'you complete me' blocks and the 'I love you more than cake' block, gorgeous. x
Oh yes, all you need is LOVE!! Gorgeous, nice work!! Big fan of the L.O.V.E Wishing you many Valentine sales, love Posie
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty glad you started blogging a year ago too! Your blog is g-e-or-geous! :)x
ReplyDeleteGOOD AFTERNOON PRECIOUS!!! Oh, Minnie sounds like a good little piglet! They are rather smart, aren't they? I SEE YOU HAVE been up to good things in creating! I am trying to juggle coming up with Etsy wares while working as a teacher...what was I thinking when I took this ON??????
ReplyDeletePEACE AND LOVE AND MORE LOVE to you and Cleggy my dear !! Anita
My boyfriend and I don't "do" V-Day either, it's just too expensive and busy for no reason. Instead we celebrate our 1/2 anniversary on Feb. 20th! It's always more fun than our real anniversary because 1) everything sappy is cheaper after V-Day and 2) there's no pressure to live up to the the perfect anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI love the retro blocks!

Hello dear Fee
ReplyDeleteI have just been doing a bit of window licking as my dear mother would have said.. and think your new Valentine blocks over at NOTH are rather scrummy. The power of love is a wonderful thing!
Love to you
