asking for trouble

Jammie Dodger Through The Ages

I was thinking about how many versions of my Jammie Dodger card I have made and I thought it would be fun to do a trip down memory lane! I’ve even dug up the ancient photos so we can all laugh at how terrible they are.

This was the first Jammie Dodger card, from 2009. I printed these myself and trimmed the edges with a wavy blade on my paper trimmer. They came with a sticker and brown wage envelope.

They were pretty popular so the next year I did another version with felt hearts stuck on top. Was I mad?

After that, I wisely started getting the printed professionally. These were the first ones.

And here’s how they look now. Why have I not taken new photos since I moved? This one is still pretty bad.

I also used to hand-draw mugs. I quite enjoyed doing them, but the ink just doesn’t hold up to regular use. Still a pretty good photo that.

I had mugs made professionally too, but they were expensive to order and a lot of hassle to post. Those yellow shelves – one of the only things I miss about my old flat.

You can still get mugs on-demand, and they are so much nicer!

Cakeify & Friends Felt Brooches

And one more, as I saw this photo of my gocco-printed felt brooches from ages ago. They were so cute, but such a nightmare to make.

Which Jammie Dodger brooch is your favourite - felt heart or painted heart? They're both in my shop!

Wooden brooches are much easier and still have that handmade touch.
