Would you like to do a Valentine Heart swap again this year? Similar idea to Secret Santa. Your heart can be made from anything you like. Message me with your 'proper' name & address if you would like to join in. It's been great fun in the past.

I'm getting really worried and upset here, you've all finished them and I haven't even managed to get my hands on the materials, much less made a start.
I know that I have everything that I need, I know where everything is, I just can't get home to get at it!

Panic not! We have ages yet. Not posting until February.

Mine will be the "I know I've got ???????, but where the heck did I put it, and I wish you wouldn't move my stuff" stage.
The "thing" that I want will be right at the back, at the bottom of the drawer, so that I have to take almost everything out to get to it, then when I think that I've put everything back, I will find one stray packet on my bed / on my wheelchair / on the floor. Inevitably something will have fallen down the back of the drawer.
The glue will then have set solid in the applicator, so there will be much poking about with a pin and much dark muttering as I endeavor to remove the plug of solid glue.
Inevitably I will be too impatient, won't give the glue enough time to set solid then will curse and mutter when something slips.

I've been making mine today and it's not quite done. It's awful though so I think I'll have
to make another one or two so my victim I mean recipient gets a half decent offering.
Stan & Stroppy, don't worry, I'm sure I speak for lots of us if I say I'm sure peeps won't mind
if it's bought/a teeny bit late/gone slightly wrong or whatever - it's the fun of joining in and
doing it that counts.

I don't, I read Books still, the bigger and fatter the better.
Oh and by the way a needle has not touched my heart....................... I don't do sewing.

It's a nice idea, but I am a firm kindle fan
16-01-2014 4:04 PM
Eeeek, Just had a thought,...... does it have to be a hanging heart? or can it be anything heart shaped.
16-01-2014 4:09 PM
Anything ed...don't panic
