Postcard sewing

 I have been sort of out of action on my blog lately , just life . I went to visit with my Mom for Mothers Day and found that visit very tough , it was so strange to enter the house and not see my Dad sitting in his favorite chair ,I miss him terribly . Anyway I did a little fun sewing yesterday to brighten my spirits , postcards are such fun to create . Want to see what I made ?


A little touch of spring with some flowers and a cute little butterfly . Still on the spring theme is this next card .
Colorful little flowers with a butterfly and a ladybug in the grass . Then there is the final one which resulted as I had a few more flowers left so what is a gal to do but use them up  right:-)


They were fun to do and the bright colors were great to work with  . 
I am working on my messenger bag today , with any luck I might get it finished soon . Off I go now to the machine since I haven't figured out a way to get it to sew on its own just yet . Enjoy your day and hope you come back soon .
 hugs Sheila

    Oh Sheila, my heart goes out to you, it is so hard visiting their home and they are not there, I still find it hard that Mum isn't in her chair either. Your postcards are beautiful, bright and cherry, Wendy xx

    Love your postcards Sheila. Is there a trick to making them? It is hard when a parent passes away. It will become easier in time and we can remember the happy moments without feeling sad. Hugs....

    Such cute and cheerful postcards! If you do discover how to get a machine to sew on its own for you, let me know, lol. Hope the pain becomes less raw for you :)
