Hello out there. Life has been keeping me from getting to my blog of late but finally here I am.
In the "old" department I have been chipping away at my Postcards and have 2 more completed and as you can see the pile is slowly growing! I have been trying to get at least a few stitches in every day. I have a friend who needs to keep on task with a project also so we have made a pact for our sewing days.
The "new".....
I am having a little SAL with my friend Fiona and my DIL who is learning to stitch.
When we all have our patterns we will be sewing this.....
The other "new" is a challenge on Instagram called #52tagchallenge by a lady called Anne Brooks. The idea is you make a little piece of textile from a prompt Anne gives you each week.....interpretate your way and attach it to a tag!
I thought it was perfect to use up lots of bits of lace and little treasures and another use for my die cutter. I had ordered a tag die before I came across this! And I love the freedom of stitching what I feel like.

It's nice to have a reason to play with all this!
I hope you are all well and having a good week.
Take care.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
