Lets spread the love people

I made a valentine card for The HusWife. And then I made another one. And another. Which is a bit wierd given I really only needed the one. And before I knew it I had a whole bunch of these lovely little badgers being cute and floppy and needing a home. I mean I love him dearly, clearly, but not even he has need for 30 cards. So the only thing to do is give them away. Thus, if you'd like one to give to your honey, DM me your address and I'll get one in the post while they last.

Lets spread the love people

And I have to come up with something else for The HusWife, because he has seen these and now wants something "exclusive".

Sunburst thank you cards

Or at least, I think that's what they are. I'm currently trying to finish up a log cabin quilt I started last summer and I have lots of tiny weeny little bits of the fabric hanging around. I've found that I just can't throw any fabric away, no matter how small and so I have bulging bag after bag of the tiniest little bits of stuff. Slightly OCD if not completely bonkers. However, I do see it as quite an interesting way of tracking what fabrics and colours I've been into over the year and at some point I might actually use them for something. I'm thinking of sticking them all onto a canvas for the lounge. Or something.

Anyhoo, looking at the growing pile of snippets from the quilt I thought I should try making some thank you cards and this is what I came up with. I like to think of them as positive little rays of fabric sunlight. They go a bit droopy depending on the weight of the fabric but I quite like that. Now, to get them in the post!
