I did a whole series of Dye it Yourself.  I wasn't satisfied with any of them, really.  This one is called Hobbit Houses in the Fog



And this one is gilt winged beetle


This one is called Spirit Quest PowWow for sister Pattie - you have to use your imagination.


this one was for a Summertime Yellow exchange
So I learned last night that there is a limit to the size of a post.  I tried to upload about 7 postcards but they will only go through one or two at a time.  So I will post a few old cards today, trying two by two.  this one is called Strawberry ice cream.





this one for my Aunt Aina's birthday

This one went to my granddaughter Keely
old cards.  Just thought I would post some more of my early postcards that I have not previously posted.


This one was called Path of a Comet.  Hand dyed and went to the Netherlands.
Finally finished the Valentine's dress for Keely.  It finished off my sewing machine as well and I have ordered a new one. Ugh, making this one was ugly.  Dress did not turn out that well.  I am finished with those weird patterns that have a hundred sizes and ways to put together a garment - too complicated.

At my sister Patti's suggestion I made a postcard for nephew Westin.  He has a special  golden mean tattoo.  I did it on fabric but ended up with a word file and am having trouble figuring out to upload it.

Aha!  figured it out - really low res but here is an image of it.  I used green thread to sew the edges (not shown).  The front of the card is on top, the back on the bottom



I made pajamas for Riley, who loves fish and all kinds of sea creatures.  I am having a rough time with my sewing machine - it needs a serious tuneup.



I got a photo from Julia of the kids with their clothes - I love it!  So cute.

I made a dress for Keely today, per her request.  I think it might be too short.  She is very slender but tall.  I hope she likes it.  I need to make her another one with puffed sleeves so she can wear it to school.
