Sewing - more bowl cozies!!

I spent a day  this week working on bowl cozies which were all cut and had the batting stitched to each fabric.  I had to sew the darts, and then sew them together.  As you can see there were quite a few different colours and it was a great sewing day!!  Some of these used some of my Mom's pansy fabrics!! They are headed to family events later this year as prizes so it was nice to get so many stitched up. Again, just a note to say that it is imperative that only 100% cotton fabric, batting and thread be used as they go into the microwave and any polyester could melt and catch fire.

Cardmaking - a half dozen cards from card kits using handmade paper backgrounds

These were the last ones I finished up - quite quick and easy even with the watercolouring of the images.  I really like the seam binding on these ones and the variety of images I used.  I did manage to change the orientation on a couple with smaller images.

Cardmaking - a few more cards with corrugated cardboard

 I finished off the few card kits I had leftover from Card Club with these corrugated cardboard backgrounds.  I changed a couple to landscape and used longer raffia on those ones.  The different embellishments make for different looking cards!

Cardmaking - made up Whack & Stack card kits from Card club

 I have been working on getting these card kits made for a few days.  I made some up to be landscape and I like how they turned out.  It has been fun to work on cards again and though life is busy doing something that you really enjoy and is creative has good.
