Valentine message parcels

This year, my 6 year old twin girls are fascinated with St. Valentine's Day - even though they can't quite figure out what it is about. Join the club!

To surprise them, I thought I'd make them a little gift. Because I think with all the silly romantic hype and commercialism that hangs around St Valentine's day like a bad smell, it's good to remember that all sorts of love can be celebrated - even a mumsy love.

Wanda likes nuts - so she has pistachios.

Pepper likes to garden - so she has a packet of flower seeds.

I used plastic transparent printable sheets printing the message and template heart.
I cut two matching sized hearts from interfacing ( because I have a big roll of it that a factory was throwing out - but I like the frosted, misty look it gives too)

I used the sewing machine to stitch it together, filling the parcel before finally sealing it. Happy St. Valentine's Day!
