I received Poppy Treffry's lovely book 'Free and Easy Stitch Style' nearly two weeks ago, and finally have had a few hours to myself to have a read and a little play! (How committed am I? Herb goes to pre-school for one afternoon a week and it was so tempting to relax with a cup of tea and peace and quiet and the latest copy of Country Living!)
But I had a few cards to make...
I started with something easy - a birthday card for my niece...
Mmm, not too bad for a first attempt! Just a couple of wobbles!Next, a card for a friend...
Still very basic - and a try at stitching some text....Finally, something a bit more adventurous...
Not the best thing I've ever made, but I thought I'd share it with you - otherwise how will you see how much I've improved when I'm a pro?!!I made it into a birthday card for my sister-in-law who is always a very grateful recipient!
I can't remember the last time I actually bought a card, even the boys make their own. Handmade is always so much nicer, don't you think?We're off to the 'outlaws' tomorrow for most of the half-term, so no blogging for a while!
Oooops, almost forgot! The Deep Sea Mobile is now in my Folksy shop - in two funky colourways!
Have a happy week!
