Despite it being half term I have been able to grab a few minutes for me. These cards were inspired by A to Z who has used machine stitching to great effect. I put my own spin on them using some pieces from an old quilt and some name tapes I had made saying Happy Birthday. The name tapes were a bit bright and white so I soaked them in tea to get a softer colour.
I also whipped up a notebook to send to my sister and a little card for one of my nephews. I'm half way through making his birthday present and hopefully will get 10 minutes tomorrow to finish it off
There's something consuming about working on a project, your mind is totally in the moment and other pressures and worries don't get a look in, at least it's one thing I really enjoy that must be good for me unlike wine and chocolate!
