♥ My Loving Mode ♥

 

So......let's talk about love !

 Everywhere you look at the moment there are ♥ hearts and cards and red and pink and loving things.

♥

We're getting into the ♥ Loving ♥ Mode of the year: 

♥ Valentine's Day ♥

When I grew up in Holland they did not celebrate it much, of course now they do, sell more red roses, chocolates and many other 'loving' ♥ things. Strange, in my opinion we should show our love ALL YEAR long, not just on one day of the year where all prices for all things red and hearts and lovely get hugely inflated, just because..

♥ 
so I have decided that this Valentine's Day I will have a Give away......YAY !!
I won't say yet what you'll be able to win, that is going to be a SURPRISE......but if you want to be in to win, leave me a comment, post on your Facebook for an extra chance, Twitter or Blog for another, you get my drift. Just let me know here in the comments where you have spread DA LUV ! ♥♥♥♥♥

 ♥ Funny day (happens to my Birthday too) ♥

Love Rox

One of my girlfriends had her Birthday this week and she's one of those that really have everyting already. You know, the no kids-double income variety with Dollars to spare. Anyway, what do you gift someone like that ? Of course I made her one of my lovely canvas folded Art cards, but I wanted to gift a present kinda thingy as well....Then on top of that, with our BIG move just around the corner, many of my supplies were already packed and I just happened to see those rocks I found and collected a few years ago. We were then taking a walk in one of the riverbeds in our area and I noticed rocks in the shapes of hearts. "Mother Nature's tough love or Love Rox" I call them. So I took a lot of those rocks home, big and small and I paint them with little messages as gifts. So I thought this particular friend would fit one of those Love Rox and I painted it with red (she loves red) and dots (do I need to say she loves dots too ?) She LOVED the gift, that made me really happy :) She will use it as a doorstop or a paperweight. .....I need to go and search for more of those love rox, because I noticed that I only have 1 small one left....maybe I'll find some on my way up North ...
*these are two that I made for Christenings of a friends 2 sons a while back

Red Work

An in-between-project...

A Birthday present:

It's a recycled journal I bought and I made a journalcover of pieced fabrics

with a little portrait on cotton on top.

It's for a friend who had her Birthday when I was away

and she likes patchwork, stitching and quilting.

Another gift, this time for a third birthday of a friends daughter

I found some beeswax !

-funny enough: in an amusement park where you go back in time

follow the link, it was FUN and we got to make candles, so I had my beeswax !-

...it's a bit yellower than my yummie one at home though...
