Card Workshop

I spent a very happy Friday morning at a card workshop with D. The other adults there were quite taken with him and so we are now going to be doing some more together over the next few months.

We had to make piles of parcels and then attach them to cards. These are the ones that D did,

and here are mine. D wants me to buy the punches now so we can make some more at home. He thoroughly enjoyed himself and is eager to do some more.

I have a very large collection of pieces of stitching that needs framing or put to other uses and I am hoping to get this done as this year progresses. I have found a home for one piece and have finally appliqued the fish embroidery panel to a tote.

This was a plain one I bought from Hobbycraft ready made. I just got my new machine out and used the blanket stitch to attach the panel to the front. I had put it in place using bondaweb to give it extra stability.

I am now concentrating on getting the exchange and RR pieces out of the way. I have completed almost half the cross stitch for the mail art envelope, so if I have a good day, I hope to get that completed today. I have to make up for not doing anything at all yesterday, I was too tired by the time I got to sit down.
