Little house cards

This is one of the cards mid way through it's making, some done on the machine and some hand embroidered. If you look in the bottom left hand card in the next picture you will see I had added roses round the door and a window in the next-door house.
Click on the picture if you want a detailed look.
This wool is so nice and just right for it's earthy colours and will be used on the landscape cards and pictures, it's mohair so it feels very soft. I have used the white bit of it for smoke coming out of the chimney pots.

The cards are lovely. Lucky is the person who receives one. :-)
The one card looks like a lady's head with brown hair and bright red lipstick. :-)

Hi Goosey! sorry its taken me so long to reply to your comments life has been very busy lately!! I never really know what to charge for my work , i just try to work out what its cost me and how long it took to make. But usually i think its too much and charge less because i find people aren't prepared to pay for handmade stuff when they can buy mass produced stuff a lot cheaper, shame really although having said that the introduction of etsy,folksy,handmade uk and other sites things are looking up! Do keep in touch your stuff is lovely, its nice to 'meet' someone making similar stuff ! x x x x
