I love you lots like Jelly Tots - for Mothers Day

I was asked to make another personalised jelly tot heart bag charm recently.  The words I was asked to include must have been a private message or joke so I hope the recipient likes it - she's got a lovely boyfriend to go to all that trouble.
As I had to mix up a batch of resin I decided to make some more jelly tot heart bag charms (or keyrings) but with the word Mum or Mummy for Mothers Day

I didn't want to leave out Nana so made one for her too.  They've been listed in my GroovyCart shop today.

Folksy Valentinos - Animals

I've fallen off the Folksy Valentinos wagon - again!  I wonder if I'll ever actually be able to list one item every day for a whole month.  I've had lots of orders on my GroovyCart shop - not complaining - but it's kept me busy.

I'm supposed to be photographing jewellery to be listed on the new look Wow Thank You website when it launches at the end of the week but the light is so bad - I'll have to try again tomorrow.

So.....  I've decided to blog about some of the gorgeous items being listed by my fellow (and better disciplined) Folksy Valentino Folk and have chosed the theme   ANIMALS  well sort of - lol!

I love you lots.... like jelly tots


I love you lots.... like jelly tots



I hadn't heard that saying before until recently.   I was asked to make a personalised jelly tot heart bag charm for valentines day and posted a picture of it on a group I belong to on Facebook. 



It initiated a discussion and I found out about this saying "I love you lots... like jelly tots".




So as it's Valentines Day and I've got a selection of jewellery made with real jelly tot sweets for sale in my GroovyCart shop I though we'd have a jelly tot theme blog for Valentines Day



and for children...

happy new year

we had a lovely christmas & new year.   My son & daughter in law were here for a few days before christmas before flying out to Greece on christmas eve to spend the festive period with her family in Thessalonika.  We weren't sure if they were going to make it due to the snow as they were flying from Heathrow but luckily their flight wasn't delayed and they got there on time.  I enjoyed taking some time away from my workshop, online shops, forums, facebook etc etc etc and am now trying to get myself going again.

I had a lovely email this morning to say one of my items has been included in the FOUND ON FOLKSY blog & I'm really chuffed.  If you like to read the blog please click here
