I received my card and will try to post pictures tomorrow. I just love my postcard this. It is totally me. Thank you !!

Miriam and Judith those are such glittery and pretty Happy Birthday Cards.
My card will go out tomorrow. I took so long on my details.

I got my card in the mail today. It has a long way to travel, hopefully it has a quick trip!

It was my first time using the sewing machine to make the card, I was mostly successful. I had to play with the tension to go through the innards, mostly successful, but seems like it just couldn't adjust loose enough. Looks like I'll just have to make a lot more cards for the practice :)

Judith, I LOVE both of them. they are so pretty looking and professional looking. great job, ladies.

Miriam, beautiful card.
Judith, great way to display, and oh my, you have a lot of postcards.

Love all the cards so far!

How creative is this birthday postcard from miriam! It's a keeper!

is it a s'more? marshmallows?

Miriam that is a very creative pretty card you sent to CookieZenmilk.
I love the marshmallow. hehe..

I got my card sent out today.

Yes it is marshmallows on the second PC. It is from Mercy who is 12. The two marshmallows are supposed to look horrified about poor Puffy - S'morbid isn't it. It was done on an old Kenmore with a primitive 1980s computer. She had a lot of fun playing with that.

The birthday post card was sewn on my Singer 115 hand crank. I was using a wire darning foot and writing left handed and cranking with the right hand. I outlined a bit. Then I "zig zagged" around everything with it. It works better forward and back than side to side. It is a bit chincy but I can see what I'm doing with that spring thing. I just don't have fine hand writing on a good day. When I was digging through fabric and things I ran across a scrap of linen only slightly bigger than the final PC to stitch the calendar to. I discovered that it matched the flower off a broken old doily it kind of repeated the two patterns. It doesn't have a lot of sparkles but I couldn't justify putting any on with all the vintage stuff.

wow miriam, i have yet to actually stitch words with my machine. i just don't have that much control even though i am a calligrapher. Give my thanks to Mercy for the cute postcard. Great job. How did u do the calendar numbers? was that already preprinted. i noticed the background was home dec fabric.
