MFT: Fall Friends

September 10, 20183 Comments

I don't know about you, but I love fall. Well usually. Ours has gotten off to a wet start with a weekend of solid rain. Perfect conditions for crafting, actually. I knit all day Saturday, and spent Sunday coloring this little gal. I used the new Fall Friends stamp set from My Favorite Things (see … Continue reading MFT: Fall Friends

April 29, 2018April 29, 20184 Comments

Hi friends! Today I have a card to share with you featuring the oldie but so goodie You Gnome Me stamp set from My Favorite Things. This was one of the first sets I ever bought from MFT, and I only used it once or twice. It actually ended up in my destash box. But … Continue reading I Dig You

Hi friends! I have another challenge card to share with you today. I had so much fun with the last sketch challenge I entered that I decided to give it another go.

With love in my heart

February 13, 2017February 13, 20174 Comments

Valentine's Day is upon us. My husband and I have decided to give each other the gift of take-out for dinner and catching up on our stories (The Expanse, likely) or watching hockey. I will probably knit. The dogs will snuggle with us on the couch and most definitely start snoring. Idyllic, if you ask … Continue reading With love in my heart

About me

I am a craft and art enthusiast. My first love is knitting, but a blog about languishing WIPs is hardly interesting. I started making cards about a year ago (and about ten years after I gave up on scrapbooking). Being creative is my outlet and my zen. Monkey and Oliver are my cats and craft buddies.
