I am ready to sew again. The summer was too crazy and I just couldn't summon the energy. However, if you follow me regularly you know that I created other things. I enjoy my "quilted" fence and found some gorgeous, big, colorful hummingbirds to hang on it. No butterflies yet, but they are in my future. Crowds of family and friends have spent time here visiting, hiking, eating and laughing. Life was constantly crazy and fun. We were packed tight in our little cabin, but no one complained.
I make birthday cards for all my kids and grandkids and September is a mad month with six birthdays. Each card features at least two photos of the person, a unique design and a personal note. I am getting started on these as I clean up the sewing room, which served as an extra bedroom when the family was here. I will get back to sewing in a day or two as I process all the laundry and get the room back into sewing mode.
In the meantime, here are some of my favorite cards from over the years. These are designed to be folded in half horizontally to form a card about 4" x 5". The inside of the card has a couple more pictures with the same theme as well as a short, personal note. I use photos from my personal collection and create a collage for each card in Photoshop. Playtime!
