Sew much fun ...

Hello all.  It has been a while since I have blogged but I wanted to stop in and share this card kit, which my sister and I put together for our shop, with you.  

I really enjoyed making these cards and love the quirky sentiments.  We even gave up our beautiful stash of vintage buttons to pack up the kits. Our mother was also roped into this kit and spent hours crocheting blossoms (more than 100 of them) for us.  

My mom is trying to teach my sister and I to crochet but I have to admit that it is not going too well for me.  I can barely get past making a chain and feel like I have 16 fingers on each hand with no comfortable way to hold everything.  Anyhow, I will persevere and hopefully one day I will be crocheting beautiful blankets for my own granchildren.  At least I have a good few years to learn before I become a grandma!

Winter is settling in here so hopefully more time indoors will mean more crafting.  In the meantime, my sister and I are kept so busy with projects and classes at the shop that I need to be content with that for now.

Thank you for stopping by.  Hopefully, I will be back soon.

Baby Cards

I have been very busy this week preparing these pre-packed baby card kits.  Those gorgeous soft velvet frames are from the Making Memories "Pitter Patter" collection and they really add the finishing touch to these sweet baby images.  In fact, the cards really did not need much embellishing.  A pretty pearl here and there, a touch of cotton lace and some soft ribbon.

Ever wondered how many times you can remake the same card? Unfortunately, too many times if you ask me.  Because the cards were going to be packed as a kit they had to be remade with product that I knew for sure we could get in quantity.  It was fun but I think I have had enough of baby cards for now!

Each card had to be made up twice in order to mix up the sets.  One in pink ...

... and one in green.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you are all enjoying a restful Sunday.  I am off to hunt for some sweet royalty free retro/vintage kitchen images to use with the Kaiser release, Nan's Favourites.
