and then i got slightly carried away, making too many throws, and not enough cushions - they were popular for newborn babies.

Years later I moved on - starting with throws or playmats, and then - my own invention - birth cushions. Experimented on the family and was happy with the result.

Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with a b c
When you sew you begin with . . .

. . . something simple, and not dive into the deep end with a reversible log cabin patchwork jacket for a lovely daughter. But then I don't really follow the rules. This was way back in the 70s - correct me Liz - but the result is still around today.

and today wasn't entirely wasted, i made that 4th of july card for aleta. i also found a website with verses for all occasions - http://www.verses4cards.co.uk.

A couple of non-teabagging cards, but never use the word 'teabagging' - check it's meaning on Wiki, I was stunned. Anyway I have others like this that will come soon.

one of my favourite styles - the little pictures were part of an advertisement for stamps on the glossy back cover of a papercraft magazine - i think I got my money's worth as stamping isn't in my repertoire.

this started off as a birthday card - until a 6 year old pointed out the easter eggs and bunny. it was quickly changed to conform!!

not really the beginning . . .

some of my recent attempts at cardmaking. but beware, teabag folding can become addictive - i have made over 100 already and still busy folding!!
