Special cards

 I have been making up a couple of Hunkydory cards using some kits that I bought quite a while ago.

The first one is for a special friend who has suddenly become very poorly.  I can't go to see her yet in case of spreading any germs.  I am sure I haven't got any but it just isn't worth the risk.  

Neither of the cards have scanned as well as I would have liked because of the many layers of decoupage.

Here is the first one:

The second is a Sympathy card for one of our UKSN members whose Mother sadly passed away recently.  

It seems to be a difficult time me at the moment.  An old and close ex golfing friend died on 22nd December.  My son and I are attending her funeral tomorrow.  My husband - from whom I have been separated for 25 years -  died on Christmas Eve and now my friend is very poorly.

It is crafting though that is keeping me going and sane and I will visit my friend as soon as it is allowed.

I hope all are well.

Yet more Stitch and Do cards

For these ones I haven't used the kits as such.  I have purchased the toppers with the ready pricked patterns and used my own threads and backing card.  I have sourced the 3D Push out die-cut decoupage from a few places.  In fact - on a couple - I have used a Tattered Lace or a Hunkydory die-cut image.

I have also purchased some A6 ready pricked toppers but haven't had a chance to use these yet.

I am really enjoying making these little cards.   I have been doing stitching rather than parchment at the moment.   I have such a collection of threads, needles and patterns etc  that my sister has bought me a wonderful new sewing box for my up coming birthday.

Off to do some more stitching.   I had my 2nd Covid-19  vaccination this morning and was told just to take it easy as the second could be more potent than the first.   I don't need telling twice to sit with my feet up and stitch.

Keep safe.
