February 2022 update

  

I am finally back to crafting. After a busy holiday season, my husband and I came down with COVID. We are very happy that it was a mild case for both of us and really felt like a head cold. (For those interested, we both have been vaccinated and I had received my booster.)

I am currently sewing some clothes and working on some new linen kitchen towels. If you have not tried linen towels, you may want to consider it. I purchase linen from Fabrics-store.com. For the kitchen towels and my hair towels, I check out their “doggie bag” pieces and then cut them to size and hem. Linen fabric naturally does not mildew and is very absorbent. When you live in a humid climate like southwest Florida, it is nice to have towels that don’t smell after just one day’s use.

I finished up my birthday cards for February and will be working on Valentine's
cards next. The card pictured was a mixture of methods. The base and front panel were cut with the Cricut. The “Happy Birthday”, the flower and leaves were die cut and the front panel was embossed, both with my Gemini Midi. The inside sentiment was stamped on a card insert.
