titchy little chaps

The heart brooch's are finished, and they are rather cute ,aren't  they, and quite small, only two inches tall
  I did enjoy making them but I wasn't to happy with the instructions, the magasine said to cut out each heart, then iron bondaweb to the back of each heart, then bond a heart shaped piece of felt to the back of each one.


I found it quicker and easier to simply iron a piece of bondaweb onto the back of the whole sheet,
and then bond the sheet to a piece of felt, and cut out the little hearts afterwards
no critiscism of stitch magasine, its great, always full of good ideas and stuff to try out, I often give away magasines but not this one, I always keep them




 Anyway, total change of subject.....
does anyone know what this plant is?
I buy it every year as an anual bedding plant and it has bright purple stems,
love it! i want to do a little page on it but dont know its name...
any answers?



one more change of subject,  I am extremely excited to have joined  the stitching challenge starting in january.
 Im hoping to learn loads of new stuff and get lots of ideas,  have a look on   pintangle  about three posts back....
bye for now  tina
