I made a few valentines for friends and family this year and had fun with it. Maybe they're not as great in the design department as the Swedes, but fun nonetheless! What about you? Any handmade goodness going out to the people you cherish? We made heart-shaped waffles today and I've been busy stitching up some cuteness for my 2 and 4 year old valentines (nieces) across the pond. They were so tickled when I allowed them a tiny sneak peek on Skype. I'd ordered a couple of decorative patches online, a big owl for the eldest and a little matrysohka doll for little sister.
I just realized I don't have clear thread and am a bit stumped about attaching the patches. They're iron-on, but I hear that doesn't always stick for good. I'm also attaching them to something fleece and I'm worried about melting the fleece...anybody have any tips or ideas on how to attach a patch to fleece?

Oh I loved that wedding! I still remember the resounding "Ja" she gave. Happy Valentine's Day Juliette!
What a cute postcard! I don't have any good tips for the patches -- I remember my mom ironing on patches for me as a kid, and yes, sometimes they peeled off -- but usually after a lot of love and abuse. Good luck! I made some chocolate mousse for my valentine + then called it a day. ;-)
I love the gold/pink combination!
Loads of the Scandinavian Royals have married 'commoners' . In Denmark our 2 princes have had 3 marriages between them 2 common girls (and foreign ha ha doesn't say much for danish girls right) And also in Norway. I loved the swedish wedding too, she was so happy - bless. Happy day sweet Juliette - hope it's warmer where you are,
Axx
