Here are the cards I was talking about! You have seen the print before, but it is in a new format. In the shop is where they are resting for now. I also made some tote bags with the same print, and a blendy red/ orange colour.
***
I have been feeling a bit grim lately, even though last night was cool for sleeping (thank heavens). Part of it must be this annoyance with this A/C unit I rushed out and bought last week on the day of my frantic button post. That was a week ago, and we still can't figure the best dang way to install it. We have the wrong windows for the unit and don't want it to fall on someones head in the front where the bedroom is but don't have the right tools to fashion some sort of wood brace for it. So we were going to just put it in the back , but now I see the warning label says not to use an extension cord with it. For goodness sake I have had less trouble when I had a root canal! Reading my woes here always makes it looks rather silly and then I feel better actually! Stupid thing!! HM.
So-
I need to focus on some good stuff...
and that means I get to frivously use the heart icon I have so happily discovered! ( don't worry the novelty will wear off eventually)

love the new cards and bags! how did you make the bags - do you do the silk screening yourself? and sew yourself?
sorry to hear about your A/C problems.....i know what you mean by the wrong type of windows.
