Occasional ramblings

Just a few thoughts or notes on ongoing projects.

Christmas cards

12/12/2014

I usually make my own christmas cards but some years they are more ambitious than others.  Short of time this year, so I made a stencil and then got going with a bit of a production line.  I didn't have any coloured paper so had to wash some paper with blue and red for background.  The stencil image is just done in white acrylic.

The stencil.   I like old fashioned stencil card.  Especially the lovely smell!

New granddaughters

We have two new granddaughters - Molly and Sophia.  I thought I would make them each a reminder of their initial. 

They are both made in the same way.  First I doodled the appropriate letter onto some fabric previously hand-dyed, then painted in as much as I felt like.  Then I stitched using both free machining and some of the embroidery patterns already on my sewing machine.  I think they are quite cute!

Sophia Grace.  Sophia likes all sorts of pinks.
