What a day so far.... I was up early looking at the garden - the bulbs are coming up nicely all over but it sure needs all the dry/dead stuff clearing from last season ready for the spring but I didn't feel like being outside, I felt like being in the kitchen, so that's what I did. Two loaves - one Garlic and Rosemary Focaccia (front left of
photo) and the other Parmesan, Cheddar, Sun dried tomatoes and olives (back left of photo)... Whilst these were proving I cleaned the house from top to bottom - no easy task believe me- it's not a big house but three floors!! At least I'm getting some easy exercise as I am still not fit enough to row! My rowing machine is gathering dust - hopefully it won't be much longer !!! Anyway...... once you have the oven hot for bread you really need to fill it don't you - so I did - made a vegetable bake (front right of photo), roasted some chicken breasts (for work day lunches) and a stuffed pepper (right back of photo) for my dinner tonight! How good is that! Nice quick home made, healthy ready meals for the week means more time in the studio after the office!!! My new boss joins our firm tomorrow - I'm really looking forward to meeting him again and I'm looking forward to the challenge of changing my role for the better - I hope so..
Back to the postcards - last night's piece is very similar to Friday's. This time I found an old 'unfinished' piece of fabric - it was cream cord onto which I had stamped orange circles - I have no idea what for, the piece was buried under loads of old stuff. So I stitched come cords down (like Friday) painted it with turquoise and purple and cut out one piece on the purple end to work on. Hand cross stitches in various threads, and there you have it....
Emmy - I will post postcard 2 (cross stitch) from yesterday's post to you on Monday as I already have your address. Doreen G - please email me with your snail mail address and I'll send you postcard 3 (sorbello and cross stitch).
Postcard 1 is still up for exchange.. anyone???? Actually how about I also offer last night's purple painted cord..... So there are now two up for grabs? Any takers????
My postcard collection is getting quite large now - I've been storing them in a plastic sleeve photo collecting album but that is getting too fat - I need an idea of an attractive storage sytstem. Any ideas??

Thank you very much I need your snail mail adres so I can send you a card
so sorry I have your adres
I was not thinking
someone on a blog somewhere made a hanging thing with clear pockets so that she could change them in her workshop? Could be an idea?
Why not buy some clear PVC - John Lewis sell it - and make pockets to store them in. (As Carol said). That way you could make it as large as you like, on permanent display and easily changeable. It would become a piece of art in its own right. Only other alternative if you wanted to keep them in book form is the plastic pockets used for the packs of presentation stamps.
