Very Valentine

 

Don't you just LOVE Valentine's day - Please do not all groan together! I know its very commercial and that you should not only show your love on one day of the year..... but it is a really ReAlLy Romantic notion... IT IS, don't be so cynical!!!

 

Love is a wonderful and inspiring word.... remember the first time you realised you were in love, I mean REALLY in DEEP DESPERATE love, toe curling and giddy every time you saw him love! I do! And as I have grown up and older, I have realised that love comes in all forms, loving your man, suddenly realising that you love your parents so very much, loving friends, loving your pets and for me the ultimate love of all the love you feel for your child, the kind of unconditional uncompromising and joyful love you feel from the first time you hear your childs heart beat to the moment they are placed in your arms, the first time they say ...... I LOVE YOU MAMA! LOVE LOVE LOVE - have I won you over yet? I sure hope so...... because this post is all about the love that I have for the people in my Little Madame's live....

 

I think I have mentioned before that the school that our Little Madame goes to is a wonderful nurturing and very loving environment! I think that I have passed my love of Valentine's(or Valenstime Day - as she refers to it) on to her!Do you remember my mad flurry last year because she wanted to show "the love" to her teachers (all you need is love) Well this year I was totally on top of Valentine's day I would not be caught out again! So I started to look for things to make a while ago - now as you know my go-to blog is Attic 24, Lucy is so creative that when I saw her  HEARTS I knew I had to make them for the teachers.... well only 2 - whew not too bad! BUT the she announced as only she can - " Well Mama what about Mrs Hughes And Miss Blackman AND Mrs Krummeck.... I love them too!" Oh well, while you making 2 you might as well make 5.....

 

 

 

These heart are pretty simple to make and go really quickly, so I had them done in no time at all - make 2 (the pattern is on Flicker you can find it HERE) crochet them together and stuff them - Easy Peasy!

  

Sewing And Stuffing!

So Sweet

  

Flower Making

 

All Done

 

Love The Colours

Long Enough

 

Perfect!

Each Heart got a little flower in a contrasting colour and I found these gorgeous laser cut words - LOVE, JOY And PEACE ! They are perfect and just finished the heart off! I am so HAPPY to give these as gifts of Love! Little Madame chose which colour was going to go to which teacher! She truely loves each and everyone of her teachers and this makes me happy as it is the first of many "loves " that she will encounter in her life!

  

All You Need Is LOVE!

A Basket Of Love

We decided to wrap a yummy chocolate up with them..... I found chocolate that had I love you written on them, then covered these with tissue and then added a paper doily with a ribbon! Wrapped up the hearts in the same tissue paper and then every thing went into a brown paper packet with another doilys( I Love Doily's) and bit of rickrack...... so pretty! 

Perfect!

Now for the little girls in her class - I found the sweetest free download on Pintrest - A little fish bowl with "so glad we in the same school" printed on them - to that you simple add some gummy fish and pop in a plastic bag (I stamped Happy Valentine's  on the back) and tie with a ribbon, they are perfect! I REALLY thought it was so CLEVER !

And so we are good to go for Valentine's day - Now you might ask how come I was so organised so EARLY??? (I did all of this in the Middle of January) So I will tell you ..... my very GORGEOUS and very ROMANTIC  Husband( commonly referred to as the long suffering one) is whisking me off to London for a few days of love and  Valentine's romance - now I ask you can a girl be so lucky or so loved.......
