Embroidered Postcards

Welcome back to Ingrid, my friend from Spain. Today, Ingrid shares a delightful project she and her kids worked on together. Now I know just how we are going to make our Christmas cards this year!

: : :


 “Several months ago, I got these wool fluorescent colors .



I thought it might be fun to make some postal embroidery with the children to mail to some family and friends. A way for us to say goodbye to the summer.

First I made some drawings with beach motifs, in a form of post cards.


Then, I punched little holes along the pencil lines with a fat needle to start sewing. We chose the colors and the children got to "work" ...

 

Pretty post cards for our special friends and family to receive in their letterboxes. Hopefully arrive safely at your destination :)

How cute is this idea! I would almost die of happiness to get one of these little cuties in the letterbox... how about you?

Thanks once again, Ingrid, for sharing your sweet ideas with us :-)

About Me

My Photo
Mom of two sunbursts of joy; K, my precious kitten, 7. I love her curly brown hair, the freedom of her imagination and her deep, sweet innocence. T is 4. He is my blond, blue-eyed bear. He makes me laugh. Wife to A Good Man. He is my love, my very best friend and the one who keeps me grounded (I tend to go off with the fairies now and then). I am consciously trying to be mindful of each and every moment; embrace life with love, laughter and learning and give freely knowing that what I have is considerable. Also, trying show my kids the beauty of nature in our concrete jungle; enter Waldorf, my newfound passion!
