    I made this birthday card for my cousin's grand daughter, she'll be 2 yrs old next week.
    There are several in the bin, that went wrong :heehee:

    The words say 'Happy Birthday'

    I've blocked the names out.

    The colours look rather dull on here but they are much brighter on the card.

        A pair of khaki socks for a WW1 soldier . A bit rough and ready but he would have been grateful to have them...

          Here's another jacket I finished last week ( it was raining so I couldn't do much outside). It sports a new design feature! No more stuffing snotty tissues up your sleeve or mingling them with the contents of your enormous front pockets. The Snot Pocket has you covered! :blue thumb: IMG_20230720_065846.jpg

              I made this card to congratulate my next-door neighbours on the birth of their first child - a little boy :smile:

              The picture is painted on A3 paper and reduced in size on my computer, then superimposed on the blue background, and finally printed ...

              Unfortunately the scanned card for this thread has come out a bit blotchy and blurred, but the actual card is fine.

              Here's the Teddy on his own ...

              This one.jpg

                      Thank you @Upsydaisy :smile:

                      I spoke to my neighbours in the garden yesterday evening and they liked the card very much (I'd also put "something" small in it for good luck - you have to give something to a little baby don't you)
                      Since they liked the card so much I gave them the original painting of the Teddy bear. It's on A3 paper. They were thrilled and said they 'd get a frame for it and put it in the baby's bedroom.

                        That is fabulous Michael. Not surprised the parents are delighted ... and I love the idea of the framed print. Wonderful mementos for parents and child.

                        :star::star::star::star::star: for you Michael.
