February is the month of love, and there is plenty about my life to love at the moment. I love the fact that I finally dusted off my sewing machine again, and I love the fact that I have completed one thing from my February to do list already.
My hearts and flowers postcards are done. If you have been reading my blog for a while you know that I've made hundreds of postcards in the past, but none for a while. 
I started out with a scrap of felt and cut out some simple hearts.
The hearts then got needle felted, by hand, sadly I still haven't been able to afford to treat myself to an embellisher machine - it's still on my wish list though :) 
The pink scraps from my 'new projects' post the other day then got put to use, and so did my sewing machine. After scraping off the thick layer of dust, I just about remembered how to thread it up! :)
The finished cards look something like this. 
It was great making a few of these mini creations again, like visiting an old friend :)

ReplyDeletewell done for dusting off your sewing machine! I can't talk though, hardly ever use mine either!
ReplyDeleteI love these Miss angela! I havent seen you in a long long time! hope things are going better for you!!! Melinda
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! Glad you are reunited with your sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteJust gone through your blog Hearts and Flowers and found it awesome. What a wonderful combination of hearts and flower.
ReplyDeleteI love your post cards. I have made and sent one. I like the idea of making a postcard to send instead of buying one.
