Christmas is coming and patrons of the salon where my postcards are displayed for sale have been asking when Christmas ones are coming in. So I've been busy working on that them for a couple of weeks now. These first ones are now finished and have been delivered to the store for display.
Santa and his reindeer. The reindeer are from a glittery floral pick from Joann's. Blue snowflake also started it's "life" as a floral pick.
Santa was repurposed from a decorated box. Made several using the silk poinsettias. The two gingerbread postcards were made using gift card ornaments.
Top two have wooden ornaments that I've stitched on and painted. The Santa hat was the remaining portion of the repurposed box decoration from above. Silk flowers were used in several of them.
Currently in progress, and waiting for the backs to be added and the edging stitched are these postcards. And there are at least a couple more designs yet to be stitched.
Fuzzy buds, jingle bells, and silk flowers with button centers for these cards.
Small felt snowmen from Hobby Lobby's Christmas craft goodies. Snow is cut from fleece scrap leftover from another project.
Silk leaves, buttons, silk poinsettia blossoms from a Christmas garland, and metallic rick-rack are some of the embellishments in these postcards.
Still to come - more Santa faces and Christmas trees.
Gratitudes:
1. For safety in the severe thunderstorms (three rounds in one nite!) that went through the area on Sunday night.
2. For the peace that comes from knowing who holds my friends who are currently in the hospital and on hospice.

Faith is a great blessing, and a great reward. Your cards are amazing. Each one is so cute in different ways. I have a hard time picking a favorite, but tops are definitely the Santa and reindeer and the snowman on the fleece. They are all so adorable, and should sell well. She really wanted a lot of them, didn't she?
