With Alex back to his school routine I was again able to take some time off my chores to do a bit of crafting and finish some cards I had started at the begining of Summer. You can see them at the end of this post.
I have also worked on a Birthday gift for a friend of Alex's who was 10 yesterday, I made her the card, the album and the necklace you see in the photo below. The inspiration for the necklace came from a book I found at my local public library titled "Bead & Button, Ribbon & Felt Jewellery" by Deborah Schneebeli-Morrell, ISBN 978-1-904991-66-3. This book includes beautiful jewellery projects you can make using items you have in your sewing box such as buttons, ribbon, lace, fabric, etc.
These are the cards I mentioned at the begining of the post.






Hi Paula, so gorgeous gift and great cards! Hugs,Moni
