Some swaps

These are some things I made to swap with Susan when she was feeling blue. She asked for a garden theme, so I tried some different techniques. I am not too sure about the postcard, it is very different from anything I usually do, but I suppose that is what all this is about, not sticking to the sam old technique all the time. She has received them now, and I hope they cheered her up, she has had more bad luck, a severe bout of food poisoning - ugh!
The bookmark has some interesting flowers stuck onto it, which I bought in a discount store here. I wasn't sure how they would go so only bought one sheet. Of course I loved them when I used them, but the usual story, I went back to buy some more today and they had all gone. That will teach me to have more faith next time and just buy several sheets.

I am keeping all my fingers crossed that this post makes it into print - Bill cleared out all the history (I think that is what he said) on the internet before I started and that seems to let me in - for the time being. Bill is trying to sort out an order for a new computer for him, then his will move to my station, but can't order the configuration he wants - more frustration. Sometimes I think I would rather go back to a much simpler age, but then I would miss all the wonderful friends I am making through blogging. Shame we can't have it both ways.

I had better go and do some major tidying up in my sewing room. I have managed to 'lose' a piece I was working on this afternoon. I know it is in there somewhere, but I have half my stash out on the table and bed and all over the place - I am sure you can all relate to that. Tidying up often means I find something I had forgotten all about, what a thrill.
