Handmade Monday 150

Hello! Welcome to Handmade Monday!  Click the link to find out more.

This week, I was really surprised to find Your Handmade Home plopping through my letterbox.  I hadn't had a discussion about this with anyone, but I found one of my projects in its pages.  Part of writing for magazines usually includes signing a contract allowing them to re-use one of your projects (for a small fee) and this is what they'd done here.

These little fabric and paper hearts started life on my blog and were used in a Craftseller upcycling calendar before making their way onto the pages of Your Handmade Home.


Craftseller magazine also brought me a nice surprise this week.  The letters page features a reader who had made a card using one of my previous designs for the magazine - it's always such a lovely feeling to have inspired someone else!


More of my cards are in the middle pages of this month's Craftseller and feature their With Love papers collection (very pretty and great for Valentine's cards and much more!).



This week has been busy with little ones, family visits (late Christmas and new Year visits) and some chaotic catching up - it seems I'm a little behind with almost everything.  It's always sad to wave off my daughter and granddaughter when they go back to London, but it has its advantages too - I get my sewing room back from its temporary bedroom status and the house is most definitely quieter.

But sadly, no more art installations on the windows... I love that this is the first thing she thought of doing with her first tubs of Playdough!


What have you been doing this week?
