Huzzah! take that!

yes, i unpicked & redid the stitching on the back of the postcard. So today I got to add the beads for the border.


My original plan was to use those little note clips - I thought I had seen them nearly everywhere & always thought why would anyone buy them?? so when I finally see a use for one, I can't find them anywhere!! Lucky I found this very cute & small easel.

Whew! Now I can get back to the biscornus, I just want to finish one more before starting on a bookmark & the green project.

So Close, and yet...

I decided that this weekend I will finish the postcard.
Here are some pics:
I'm pretty happy so far, so I proceeded to put it together by folding the two together just above the "July 2011"
Right sides together & stitched 3 sides - there is baking paper inside so that the angeline fibre doesn't go crazy while I iron the edges.
Then turned right-way out & inserted a piece of cardboard & stitched the final edge.


THEN I realised that when I flip it over - the back is upside down. sigh & grrrrr. Fortunately I hadn't put the beads around the outside. So I need I need to reverse ahhhhhhhhhh.
