Old Cards

Today was one of those days where I seemed to be busy but got nothing done, a trip to the hairdressers, dry cleaners and supermarket (as T1 informed me that there was no candy in the house and of course candy is an essential food group if you want peace on a Saturday morning) all before 10am - then to T1 and T2's school for a parent - teacher meeting, which was 'interesting', my first one. Their teacher is lovely - and above her they like her.
Then an afternoon, juggling baby, playing referee and learning the alphabet. T1 surprised us by being able to write the numbers 1-4, though we don't know who has taught her and she's not forthcoming with that piece of information.

These cards go back to April 2007, again the spots theme, the title of the trade was circles. I like the method of making a larger piece and chopping it up. It sounds 'easy' but you do have to plan placement so that each card is interesting, or figure out a way to embellish the cards once chopped up. This has couched perle cotton to make the graphic lines and is fused cotton on to commercial felt. It worked well and produced 12 cards.I might get to sew tomorrow... I hope...
