The cold snap continues but I'm looking ahead to February, the month of love and peace. I am just preparing some little wooden flower and heart brooches for listing on Folksy.
I've decided to produce the brooches as ready made or in kit form.
To make the ready made ones a bit extra special, as they will carry a higher price tag to a kit, I have made some little Love Letter pouches from cotton to present them in.
Writing instructions for kits always seems to take forever. I think these are fairly simple to make, a bit like join the dots but you've got to make the description fool proof to cover all abilities.
Here's what you get in the kit, now I just need to make some nice packaging for it to go in.
Things are still busy with work but recent things bought and made look like this.
I treated myself to this lovely ceramic bird brooch by artist friend, Claire West. I think the bird brooches were a limited line but take a look at Claire's wonderful and joyous paintings.

I have been making some lavender pouches in an envelope style with the help of some new postcard rubber stamps I bought the other week. Some are for Folksy and some for my forthcoming craft fair. (vintage peachy flowery fabric from friend Selina)
