Hello Friend

Happy Mothers Day to all you special mums!

I have been seriously short of creativity lately. Most bits and pieces I've played with have ended up in the bin. I've managed to make a few nifty embellies, but they're put aside for another time.

I have this one to show you using a black crocheted flower that I made some time ago. Can you see that little bit of seam binding poking out the bottom? I thought it brightened up an otherwise stark black and white card.


Can you tell I've got a new toy? BFF bought me a light tent. Now this is the first time I've used it and it was late at night with only my OTT nearby. Not bad huh. I'm sure I'll get better at using it. I love that it has different background colours because I have no clue how to do that. In fact I am so useless with photoshop that I don't even bother putting my watermark on my pics lol.

Not sure when I'll be back, depends on the old mojo. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

  7. Happy Mother's Day Patrice! Your card is stunning! I love your black crochet flower. When I was little I used to sit by my grandma's feet and crochet with her. Mmmmm... I wonder if it's like riding a bike :) It's been such a loooong time but I might try to make some myself.

  12. Wow what an amazing card! I've just started crochet myself and thought of putting a flower on a card too but I'm still practicing with 8ply wool at the moment. What thread and hook size did you use?
