There are some beautiful takes on this theme from Sunday Postcard Art this week. This is one of my favourite blogs and I try to join in whenever I have time and can connect with the theme…
Cherish...
This is a fabric postcard I created this afternoon. I have had a fairly large piece of collaged quilting laying around since the summer when I made my second one of these. In the spirit of tidying up and decluttering, in order to move forward this year, (both physically and metaphorically), I measured it out and happily, it was just big enough to cut 3 6″x4″ fabric postcards from!
The little picture, encased in plastic, is cut from an old Fairy Calendar that I am trying to dispose of artfully! The orange haert is a silk padded one I’ve had “forever”, from a pack of ‘stuff’ I bought eons ago for cards and scrapbooking supplies! However, as a colour match for this postcard, it fits! The Cherish stamp is one of my all time faves and it’s stamped in black stazon on a petal from a recycled fabric flower…
The other 2 postcards are similar, but as yet, unfinished. Meanwhile, I have been doing a bit of “stray sock sewing” too and made DD her first “critter” from a kiddy’s sock yesterday – I know! But, start to finish, it only took less than an hour, so we were both happy! I fell in love with the characters in this book… Stray Sock Sewing. Here’s the Rabbit I made DD – sock with no name yet!
He who has not yet been named...

My son had an old bunny who went from bunny, to bunny one eye and then bunny no eyes as the years went on. Just took me back seeing your bunny!
Rosie
/ January 30, 2011Cool memories, eh? She was always a sucker for bunnies! When DD first saw the book, I asked her if she liked them and her response was: “I want them all…now!” 😉

/ January 30, 2011Rosie, your postcard is delightful! I love the sewing on it and all of the bits you’ve used must have cleared a bit off of the table! (Believe me I can relate). 😉
Love the bunny too – he made me smile, along with the caption.
Thanks for playing!
Oh, and thanks for your kind comments on my blog. Taking a deep breath and taking the two canvases in to the show this afternoon!

Marit
/ January 30, 2011I’m over my ears into work, so I missed a few posts… but I read them now and WOW, did you come up with some gorgeous pages!!! This last one, with all the stitching, is my fave… I should get my sewing machine downstairs again soon (not everything fits in my little drawers, you know 😉 )
Rosie
/ January 30, 2011To be fair, it is the first time for ages that I have used the sewing machine again… how lovely to see you again!! 😉

/ January 31, 2011Your fabric postcard is beautiful! I also like your sock rabbit. Stuffed creatures are a fun way to use up mismatched socks.
