Fabric Postcards, a Tote Bag, and Greeting Cards

I have been slacking in posting pictures of the fabric postcards I received this month. I received a wonderful hand embroidered one from Brenda. She doubts her skills but I think it is perfect. Much better than I would do.

She also sent me a tote bag she made. The pink fabric is one of my favorites. It will get a lot of use carrying my groceries.

Rhonda in TX sent me a fabric postcard with a hurricane Ike theme. Too cute. The boys love it.

I also got this lovely fabric postcard from Vee in WA.

I also got some 2 1/2 inch fabric strips from a swap I host on Swap-Bot. Aren’t the lovely colors?

Here is a card that my Gramma Geri made and sent to me. She is so creative.

Today while I was on the phone with a friend I made this greeting card. It is blank on the inside. I haven’t decided who I will send it to or if I will sell it on ETSY. The print is fabric ironed onto the card. I added the ribbon on the side and glued a button and it looked finished to me.

I know I have my hand into too many buckets. This is what having ADD does to you. You can’t stay satisfied for more than 15 minutes with doing one thing.

    Glad you liked everything! Your card is wonderful. I see all these various projects that everyone does and I so want to try everything. But, I know I can not do that. So just do a few of the projects for me. Hee-Hee. Have a great day!

    Oh you and me both - have our hands in too many buckets that is! Sure do enjoy seeing the product though! :) That butterfly postcard is just gorgeous! :)
