Happy Birthday Sweetie!

This birthday card is for my dear friend who really is such a Sweetie! 

I love making easel cards, they are one of my favourite types of cards to make.  So I was really pleased when the Birthday Sundaes challenge this week was to make an easel card - perfect!

I used the Mojo Monday square sketch this week (for the top section of my easel card).







My sewing machine and I have had issues this week - I wanted to zig zag stitch and it didn't want to zig zag stitch.  The sewing machine won - I ended up just doing a straight stitch.  Not sure what it's problem is - it's just had a big service and should be running fine...

Anyway, my point is, there is stitching on my card!  And it's pink...which means that I actually changed the cotton by myself and filled an empty bobbin and inserted it back in by myself!!  Will wonders never cease!  I must confess, it did take a rather long phone call to my very crafty and talented Patchwork-sewing Mum to get instructions on how to do it...and then after failing and giving up I had one last, desperate search for the sewing machine instruction manual...and wouldn't you know it, I found it!  Two minutes later and I was raring to go!  Boy, the instructions were so easy to follow!

Thanks for looking!
