Cardmaking Thursday

I started my Thursday by unloading the dishwasher while making my two egg omelet with zucchini and crumbled bacon. I already had my two cups of Keurig coffee while talking to "Dee" on my tablet. We talk every morning. I answered some emails and read some blogs and wished some of my friends a "Happy International Women's Day". I sorted through the recycling and took all of it outside to the bins. I took the gray recycle bin (paper and cardboard) down to the curb for pickup, but no garbage this week. While the temperatures are still cold, I can hold the garbage for two weeks, but when the warmer temps arrive, I will have to set it out every week.

Finally I was ready to start my cardmaking. I decided to finish off the Easter cards for the kids. I actually produced 7 cards today. I cheated a bit by only making 3 designs and changed them up by using different colours and papers.

I made 2 "E is for Easter" (one is done in pink), 3 of the middle cards done with different coloured burlap as the background, and 2 of the "Easter blessings" using different patterned background papers.

These cards still took most of the afternoon and I got to "face time" with my sister. After I finished, I went to work on my embroidery project and finished that up. I made some mistakes. I should have filled in the bird's eye with a satin stitch intead of a french knot, but these things are learned through experience. I didn't sew the two sides of the pillow case together, so........I consider that a resounding success.

I think my youngest grand daughter will not mind the mistakes. I hope she likes the birdies.

I fed the dog, took him out for his walk around the block, came in and realized I had not shredded and fried my cabbage like I had intended. So while that is cooking, I decided to post about my day. Not getting any housework done yet, but it has been a crafty week so far. Have a great evening.
