WCMC9#21: Florals

May 24, 20182 Comments

I love flowers. I've never been very good at keeping them alive, but I keep trying.  My great grandmother grew the most beautiful irises on her farm in Kentucky - she had her own breeds. Those genes did not get passed on to me. My mom used to joke that we didn't have green thumbs, … Continue reading WCMC9#21: Florals

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.
