Paper and thread...

I love opening a thoughtful card from a friend...Especially when it's lovingly handmade! Don't get me wrong, shop bought is also lovely, but the time, thought and effort that goes into one made by the giver always touches my heartstrings. This weekend I had a little play making cards. With paper, and fabric. Thank you Kirstie Allsopp, for inspiring once again!

I think I'm hooked! Hope your weekend has been jolly!

Blessings, Tania ♥♥♥

Jolly Jars of Happiness

Jazzing things up...up-cycling...re-purposing...These are all phrases which I love to live by, as so many of you out there do too. And this week, I've been at it again. You know I love a jar, any shape, any size, and I love the fact that there are possibly a gazillion uses for these lovelies once the last bit of peanut butter has been licked from it's belly. As I gobble down the last pickle, I already eye the glass shape up and down to see if it's got potential for a make-over. And this week, I've come up with these...No fancy tricks, no major bells and whistles...Just a little fabric goodness...and a few stitches...

Jars for blooms...

Jars for straws...or pens perhaps?

Jolly Jar of Knitting Needles...

Jolly Jars of Happiness!
