I wanted to share a Mother's Day Card and some knitted dishcloths I have been working on. I coloured up this adorable Penny Black image with copics. I have been neglecting my copics...and it showed today. I find when you do not use them for a while, I actually forget a little how to make them work!

Someone gave me some knitted dishcloths last year and I absolutely love them. So I had to make some of my own, and had then had a few requests for some! A tested product you are truly going to love to have!
Off to enjoy some of the sunshine this afternoon...have an absolutely wonderful afternoon!

Love love love the card!! Absolutely adorable! And thanks for the knitting pattern too, Its something I need to try. They look like fun!
A great card. You reminded me I have this stamp too, but never coloured it with Copics. I love the stitching, a lovely detail. Good idea with the dish clothes. Elaine
Good golly Miss Molly AGAIN!!! This hedgehog card is ADORABLE!!!! Is that one stamp? So perfectly done Christine, your style is fantastic!
Clever you making dishtowels. OMG, I would never be able to do that!

This is just too fabulous! You are just so amazing!! Love the card and how cool to make the dishcloths too!
Fab card Christine - this was one of the first PB stamps I ever bought! I'd like to give knitting another try. My mum taught me when I was little but I'm left handed and she taught me right handed so I always struggled. It's on my list of 'things I want to learn' alongside playing the guitar and quilting!
I love your card! Always a delight to visit your blog, colours are perfect as with your gift. Very cleaver.
Hi Christine. Gorgeous card. Love the cute images and they are beautifully coloured. The dishcloths look great, thanks for the pattern, maybe give it a try. Donna

You are ROCKIN' the Penny Black images! Just look at that coloring. I received your gorgeous white card today, too, and I just had to stare at your awesome coloring. Thank you so much for sending that to me!! :) Your dish cloths look very pretty, too. My mom makes those for me. :)
