A colleague asked if I wanted to make a card and a cake for her mothers 90th birthday party. And so I did.
I have a tendency to save pretty much all of my scrap pieces, because you never know, when they might come in handy. And then about a week ago I saw on Facebook this really cool card made out of leftovers, so I had to try that myself. It is super easy so I made both a birthday card and a Christmas card.
My Godfather turned 86 on February 1st, but due to the pandemic and all of the restrictions we couldn't go visit, but a card is always allowed, so at least he got that. When he was younger he often went fishing on the weekends and sometimes I went with him, and since I had some paper in my stash with fish on it, I thought it was perfect for him. On the picture some of the paper look brown, but in real life it is actually more of an olive green, that was just very hard to capture.
A friend of mine just turned 40 so that required a card. I really love to make slimline cards, so that is what I did again.
Well, since today is the 24th I decided to make a Christmas card. I have seen other bloggers who have made Christmas cards every month on the 24th, but I have never done that myself, but today I really felt like making one, so maybe I'll try to do that every month, it will definitely make it easier to get them mailed on time I hope 🤞. I made one that is super easy and very flat. Most of my cards has to be mailed, and it is just more likely they will get there in one piece if they are flat.
During my Christmas vacation I wasn't very creative, but I did manage to crochet one more dish cloth, this time in red. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out, the edges actually got pretty straight.
