FMS437 – Rainy days and flowers?
I’m so glad I got out into my garden this morning to weed, pull up some finished vegetable plants and plant a few more things (including catnip for my rescued cats). It was just in time too, since it’s now pouring outside. So glad I postponed doing my card crafting until this afternoon. I finished […]
Happy Memorial day to everyone in the U.S.
I wanted to wish everyone in the U.S. a belated Happy Memorial Day. I wanted to get a good picture of the flags in front of our house and the wind finally started to blow and created the look I wanted. So thanks to all our veterans, present and past (including both my father and […]

Graduation…a card for my niece
This year’s graduates have been greatly disappointed by not being able to walk to get their diplomas. They look forward to this and consider it one of the highlights of their young lives. When one of my nieces went home for spring break, she didn’t realize she wouldn’t return to Baylor University. She stayed home […]
Branching out to “blanket” my creativity around
My grandmother lovingly taught me how to crochet when I was about 8 or 9. I learned to make simple grannie squares back then, and even tried my hand at several simple things for my Barbie® dolls! Over the years I’ve expanded my repertoire to make a lot of afghan blankets for my family and some […]
No Matter the Weather, we’re “staying home”….
March’s Paper Pumpkin kit was one of my all time favorites! As soon as I got this kit I had to start making cards! I had so many wonderful card ideas to make (and starting my crochet projects – see my first project next week!), I forgot to take some time to post my cards […]
