Hand of Friendship May 2015

Didn't I say I wasn't going to sew anymore?  No, wait, that was one of my inner voices screaming at me during the last project.

I just had to make these two felt copies of my hands for the Hand of Friendship swap.  I traced my hand then stitched the two pieces together.  Then I turned it inside out.  It took me awhile to get those fingers straightened out.  I then stitched yellow hearts on the palms.  I turned down two fingers so it says "I love you" in sign language.  That is what hands are for. To spread love.  To spread hope.  To help and console and heal.  I hope my recipients like them despite their rustic humble beginnings.

A Postcard for the Postal Workers and Happy Hare

Handmade (collaged) postcard made for the Postal Worker swap.  I took it to work and told my co-worker to add something and send it on its way to Hungary.  I'll be interested to see if anyone else marks on it.

This is my PATHETIC attempt at stitching.  I don't know what makes me think I can do this.  I was going to toss it and start again but then I thought no, you send it to the poor girl who is my partner.  I look at it and it makes me laugh because it is so stupid!

I hope she laughs over it too.  She has my permission to toss it in the trash in the UK.
