I've made a birthday card for a very sassy lady (hint hint) which I can't share yet but will give you a sneaky peek :) I cut out some fabric flowers on Thursday and have used some on this card. Can't wait to get my little mitts on the new Sizzix die-cutting machine when it's launched. I bought some of Tim's Alterations Dies but hadn't realised they are too wide to go through my old red Sizzix! - the 'On The Edge' dies fit though. Then I'll be able to cut out loads of fabric flowers using the Tattered Florals die!
I had to sew some strips of fabric round the top of the grandkids trampoline net (shown here) as it was all ripped and also some strips of wide elastic for tying it to the poles. It may not seem much of a job but the trampoline is a 14ft one - you can work out the circumference if you want hehe. Next job is sewing a basket thing for one of the swings which is all ripped but it looks like we may have to take the whole thing down including the rope. it won't be easy to sew, someone will have to hold the metal frame while I sew but can only do it by having a seam on the outside of the fabric.Hope you all have a lovely weekend - nice long weekend for most of those who work ;)

From what I can see the flowers look lovely and you didn't need fabric stiffener, so will have a go.
