I wanted to hop in today to show you the sweet little piece I just finished for The Great Big Postcard Swap hosted by Beth over at the Do What You Love blog...This is the 2nd year for this swap and there was quite a turn out with 85 people from 13 countries on 5 continents participating.
...most of you know that bunnies make up a very very big part of my home...physically and spiritually...having a home full of bunnies fills me with love and helps me grow and be more loving to the rest of the world...so a bunny full of nurturing love sprang forth when I conjured something up for the postcard swaps theme of 'home'.
...I made this stitched postcard with black, light blue, cream and red coloured felt, which I added some floral stamens to, than some red and white glass beads, some green and pink silk ribbon and a sweet singular pink button...all stitched by hand with black embroidery floss...
... I am hoping the person I send it too loves it & appreciates the time put into it and I am hoping they'll want to display it, so I also added abit of ribbon on the back so it could be easily hung.
So what do you think??? not to bad for my very first postcard swap...I admit that I'd kinda like to keep it, ha ha but tomorrow I am going to wrap it up sweetly and safely and mail it off to the recipient in Michigan USA...I am anxious to receive mine..I wonder which one I'll get. I am so so glad I got it done because my head was just pounding the whole day but I knew I had to get it finished and I did, wohoo:D Now I am off to upload these photos to the flickr group, pop on by to see what everyone else has done if your interested.
Sweet dreams all and wishing some lucky bunny love to you all as well.
XO Mandy & The Bunnies from felt & stitching land.

What a great idea....love it!
Cute, reminds me of home too. My grandma has a fondness for bunnies too. This was my first swap, what fun!
it's adorable! i'd want to keep it too! =) sounds like a fun swap.
Oh, Mandy - Your postcard is darling!!! Could you accidently put my address on it instead of the recipient in Michigan?? :-)))
Mandy, this is so sweet, and I love the story stitched into it. And what a great idea to add the ribbon - you are going to make someone's day!
Thanks so much for joining in
Beth

This is beautiful, Mandy. The bunny looks so content.
You went all-out for this. Nice job!!! Maybe you could make another to keep at home?? (when things quiet down...)
