Hey not posted here for over a year ..... that's what happens when you fall in love, get married and move house :D
So last week has been a bit busy - Avon parties, christmas craft fayres, concerts, festivals and lots of dancing classes - still managed to squeeze in iHanna's Autumn DIY postcard swap!

So my five handmade cards are now winging their way across the skies to their new owners (I hope they like them) but here is a wee snippet of how the 'making' took place :)

 From the table .....

 
.... to the kitchen worktop.
 
Here are the finished postcards - complete with handmade needlefelted and stitched badges.
 




 

I was a breastfeeding mum and I have never felt so empowered as a woman as I did then.  I have taken prints from some of my favourite life drawings and added handmade badges. 
The text reads:
 
'I am important.  I count. 
I now care for and nourish myself with love and with joy. 
I allow others the freedom to be who they are. 
We are all safe and free.'
 

This is a mantra for soothing troubled breasts by Louise L. Hay.
