labluegypsy: wip fabric postcards

I've been working on these since sunday. I was inspired by the Nick Bantock books. My sewing machine STILL isn't here so I'm going to have to sew them by hand I guess. Ah well.

Thanks Mom

for everything really, yes it gets crazy in this head of mine from time to time, (i got it from u) but overall i'm loving life in every color, mostly blue. You were the Martha Stewart of your time, ever on your crusade to single-handedly beautify the world and wash every dirty child you came across. ( Those were embarassing times Mom, I did have to go to school with those kids you know.)
i remember you in pearls and heels, slippers when we didn't have company, which was rare. Something delicious was always cooking in the kitchen. You kept the house immaculate, 'Just in case..." And oh the things you could do with nooks and crannies- the library just off the living room used to be a walk-in closet. "W's" bedroom was originally the upstairs hall closet. We were the only family in the area with a built in hamper, once a large utility cabinet.
the days i would come home to a completely re-designed bedroom that looked like a page right out of Home and Garden Magazine. You were a marvel and a wonder. I will never forget the many gifts you've given me. Thank you Mom, for love, laughter and most of all, Thank you for creativity and all the crazy what goes with it. love forever, La
