I'm a bit late in posting - I was intending to do this yesterday but I have a computer lead which looks like my camera lead but which doesn't fit in my camera. I brought that lead with me yesterday and so failed to download any pictures.
I've been working on a crochet baby blanket and a knitted toy recently, but I don't have photos yet - I'll post about that later in the week.
Today I wanted to show you the progress on my crewel embroidery.
I had the urge to make cards this weekend, something which is starting to happen more. After the wedding I seemed to abandon card making completely, maybe I'd had an overload, but now I feel more inspired to make them.
The first card was actually an alteration. I'd made it a while ago but I'd spelt Sympathy without a P so I had to redo that part. Unfortunately I need this card for a family friend.
I then made a birthday card for my friend. I'd received some card making stuff from my stepdaughter for Christmas and was really inspired by these Build a Cake stamps from Papermania. The friend is male and it's really hard to make male cards, especially year after year, so this seemed perfect.
I was so pleased with it, I whipped up another 4 - my heat gun was on fire that day!
I need to get on the card making more and get some stock together. I have a website to sell them, but it desperately needs updating. That's one of my goals for the year.

Gorgeous cards, Wendy, and your embroidery is looking lovely. :D
Your embroidery will look nice when it's finished. I like the cards. I needed to make a sympathy card for a male friend recently as his father died :(.
Oh my gosh are your cards adorable!!!!!
I did embossing on a gift tag for this first time this past Christmas - it was incredibly cool! I'll have to get some embossing powder and the gluey stuff and try it here at home, hehe.
Your crewel embroidery is gorgeous, Wendy! So much detail. The cards are lovely, too. Love the cakes.
