Talented friends

I just had to share the cutest card we received from our friends Jill & Andrew. I love receiving handmade things, and their cards are darling. And this one is so perfect for a new house kinda card. They even sell them so go check 'em out.

Xmas Cards

Agh! This is terribly embarassing. I got this terrific idea for homemade Xmas cards from a crafty blog I read regularly. But now I can't find the link. Nor can I figure which of the umpteen million crafty blogs I subscribe to had this project on it. If you know, please let me know so I can give proper credit.

Here they are:

The trees were pretty simple. The doves - not so much. Hence I sent out about 30 tree cards and only 3 dove cards. Still, I really liked how they turned out.

Recent Productions

Here's what I've been up to. This flower painting-ish thingy was fun to do even if it looks little kid-like.


And this is what I'm calling my sad monkey. Done for my sister in law at her request, it looks dreadful. Worse than dredful really. But I don't have the time to make a new one before our visit so she's getting it anyway.

As Promised

First off, more felt goodness:

I really like this one - the shape and the colors are pretty. I'm not gonna even risk mucking it up with bad embroidery.
Branching out from regular 2d flowers. This 3d flower is too much of a temptation for the critters. The cats see it as a kitty toy. Lincoln thinks its his. I have to keep it in my button jar for safety.

I'm not satisfied with the pink haired woman. I'm gonna fuss with her some more.
I put this up over our spare room (computer/ craft space). Its a good reminder for both of us. Me to be crafting and him to be taking photographs more often.


This I do not love. I did them cause I saw them on Flickr (I'll find the link here in a moment). It didn't work out so well as I'd hoped, but I kind of like the flowery look of it when smooshed. Pondering a flowery wall art piece now instead of hanging globes.
