Morning ladies! It was Fat Club last night and I only lost a pound. I'm not sure what I did wrong as I was very good, but I blame my body, it is a little strange! I'm sure you all know it was Valentine's Day yesterday. It's not as big a deal over here as it is in America, we only give cards/presents to our other halves, or those we wish were our other halves. Me and the hubby did exchange cards and small presents (well I didn't as my order still hasn't turned up!) but that was it.
A friend at work asked me to make something for her to give to her husband on Valentine's. Apparently he's got the rather bizarre habit of reaching his hand inside his t-shirt and stroking the label.... she asked me about a mini-version of a tag blanket and I said I'd make a heart-shaped one.
In the background is my rather gross ironing board cover which I intend to recover, joining in the sew-along at i have to say, if I can find time!
I thought I'd show you the bargain Amy Butler prints I got at Prints to Polka Dots in their recent sale, I mean that I "won", they might be destined for my ironing board cover...
Just a quick side note before I leave you, I've just been pinning and I discovered that if you highlight text on the page before you click "pin it", that texts automatically goes into the text box when you pin! What a great time saver... did other people know about this? Am I the last one to cotton on?

The little taggie heart would be great for babies too! I know my son would love to play with that!
You will probably reap all the benefit of your hard work next week instead! Your ironing board looks a lot more presentable than mine, I have to cover it up when I am taking photos:)
Cute gift for your friend's husband. And I love that cute card you made for Mr CA. I made a cover for my little ironing board recently as it was very satisfying. Your AB fabrics are lovely. I have fabric envy. Oh and I did not know about that pinning tip! Amazing! Thanks for that.
Like the taggy heart!
Oh, great AB "win"... wink, wink. I must remember this when new fabrics find their way into my home. lol
I can think of lots of babies who would love to play with this!!
great taggy heart... and the card is lovely too...

I didn't know that Pinterest tip and will go find something to pin so I can test it out, LOL. Thanks!
We celebrate Valentine's Day here in Canada, but the suddenlysandra family doesn't - we've just been through Christmas, New Years and 2 family birthdays so we're all gifted and partied out at this point, hehe.
Cute taggy (that's definitely an odd habit for an adult, though!), cute card, lovely *won* fabrics (which would make a lovely ironing board cover!)! ;)
A pound is good! I put on 0.5lbs this week at my fat club. Boo.
The taggy heart is so cute - even if it is for a slightly strange reason!
The taggie is so cute! And the card too. I'm trying to improve my card making skills. Your ironing board puts mine to shame. I was taking pictures of my craft room today and was horrified by how ugly mine is! Time for a new cover. Don't feel bad about yours!
