Cards, jewellery and apologies!

I must start this post with an apology as it has been months since I last blogged, but I have been far too busy! I am still planning to post some tutorials...but I'm not going to say when!!!

So here is what I have been up to for the last few months (in between work, college and university plans!)

I have been adding to my range of cards, like the ones that I posted in July, which are now available at the gift shop 'For You' in Felpham village.

Special Occasion cards...

Picture Cards...

 Nautical

It's coming up to christmas so I thought I needed some christmasy cards. I didn't want them to be too obvious or cleshaed (pretty sure I've spelt that wrong!?)

Elf Hats on a washing line...because after Christmas there has got to be loads of washing to do!

 And Father Christmas's suit of course!
I decided that he wouldn't have cool pants!

This card was done by special request. My sisters boyfriend asked for a thank-you card for his music teacher. And it had to include piano keys and a bass clef. Rather than adding fabric to this one I just used embroidery, which can be a little tricky when sewing onto card as it tears easily. But it worked!! :)

I put this tag in every card as a sort of signature

As well as cards I have been working on products that I could maybe sell at Craft sales etc. I came up with a range of jewellery based on wodland creatures.

Here are some

'Friendly Creatures'

 I thought that these luggage tags were perfect for displaying them, the white string was a bit harsh so I replaced it with some Raffia. You can buy the tags really cheaply form Ebay or Amazon, I also find them useful for sketchbook annotations or gift tags.

So that is what I have been doing!

I will do my best to keep posting!! (I think I use too many exclamation marks!!!?....Oh well!)

Thanks for reading

Millie
