Me and houseplants have a love hate relationship, I love them but they hate me…and the way I look after them. Some days we get on and others we don’t. Some hate me so much they die within days of being in my home, and others string it out for awhile before finally saying goodbye to this world and complete a full circle in my compost bin, giving life to my outdoor plants…who do love me. When we had a miscarriage several people gave us houseplants as some sort of ‘sorry for your loss’ gift. Cruel it was, cruel. Every single one of them died within a month and the grief was very real. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a houseplant that gave me inspiration for this crafty piece, my String of Hearts needed a hair cut and so rather than throw the trimmings away I had a go at a craft I’ve long been meaning to try, and as it turns out, their heart shaped leaves are wonderfully seasonal as we approach Valentine’s day. So grab a heavy book, some lovely leaves, and let’s make a candle holder to set the mood this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
