The other 60th birthday card.

I didn't get to finish this card before our holiday, but worked furiously all weekend to do it so I can post it tomorrow! My friend's birthday is the day after mine, so it should get to her by Wednesday, as she lives in a country town in Victoria. The other card I had finished is for a friend in Germany, so to get there by the 20th, it will also have to be mailed tomorrow. When Ken saw me working on this one he said "Are you stitching yourself a birthday card?" Funneeeeee....

My OWN stitching...

...by that, I mean what I've been doing, not what I've been collecting! I have two 60th birthdays coming up in April (actually three including mine, but I'm not going to stitch myself a card, LOL!). Here is the first of the two cards I'm doing for my friends, neither of whom do embroidery, but I know they'll love these cards. I'm hoping to start the second one tomorrow...I'll have to finish it by Thursday as we are leaving for a six day holiday on Friday, and by the time we get back both cards will need to be finished and in the mail.
This is stitched on white 14ct Aida which has silver lurex thread running through it. This is the best I could get with the scanner, but it doesn't show up as pretty as the actual card. I would have preferred to use another card but this silver-grey one was all I had that would accomodate the design.
By the way, for those who are interested, there are some new peacocks here.
