    Another card from my July bunch - hopefully the last one for July.

    This is a retirement card for my friend. I thought she might like to take up the harp now that she'll have all that spare time, lol.

    Wow sweetcarer and greentiger - amazing work. Looking forward to the summer holidays when I can properly catch up on all your months of hard work. My hands have not been idle - I've been busy making storybags and note book covers -some with an owl theme and some with an inca jay theme- for all my lovely colleagues at school before I move on in September to school fields new x:j

    Elizabeth, you've made a lot of progress. I like how you've given yourself targets.

    Post some pictures for us, especially of your stumpwork - I had to look that up!

  • greentiger: I'd absolutely love to post some photos, but I'm allowed neither links, nor photos as yet. :( I'm not even allowed to include my blog name etc so you can search it on Google!

    I'm a serious goal and list freak, so this is right up my street and I've finished #4 now too.

  • Really? Oh well, that's good to know, thanks for the info! I only wanted to direct anyone interested to where they could see photos of the work I mentioned until such time as I am blessed with the privilege of being able to upload photos to MSE. ;)
