I still have to add a border (I'll keep that a secret - only because it isn't made yet!!) and some hand stitching. I know what I want to do for the border but need to find a method on-line how to do it. Plan B (if Plan A fails!!) will be something more simple but hopefully effective and something you will like!!

In other sewing news - I finished a few Christmas 'Thank You' cards using more of the Blitzen mini charm pack. Aren't they great (sorry for the terrible photos - they look amazing and bright in real life, believe me)! I am over the moon with them! I've never sewn onto card before so that was fun -- remind me to change the needle!!
You can [hopefully] see that I used some mini square brads and some tiny silver round brads on the cards for some added texture, along with the 'thank you' plates and white thread stitches. I should have picmonkey'd the pictures first to show better colour but I'm on my way out to buy some interfacing and I wanted to get this done. Lots more on my to-do list this weekend so see you later!
