Holiday cards

[moem]

I haven't posted here in ages, so here are this year's holiday cards. Rather quick and easy because it's that sort of year, but still pretty festive. Kraft paper cards, silver spray paint, a dollar store stencil. A custom made stamp on a strip of chalk paper.
I'm happy with them.

hand sewing project started AND finished

[daunen]

I have a long walking skirt that I want to wear when it starts really getting cold here, but the hem is sewn with a plastic thread that pokes out and sticks me in the ankles when I walk. So I found some herring tape and decided to cover it!

First I was too lazy to get my sewing machine set up (I just moved) so I decided to hand stitch. Then I didn't want to go digging around for a thimble (also a mistake). The one time I pick up a hand project and finish it in one setting, I do zero of the things I need to.

Two hours later I have a perfectly comfortable walking skirt, a few sore fingers, and an aching back But still! It feels good to get one more project off my mind :)
