HELLO EVERYBODY,

HERE IS THE FIRST CARD OF MANY THAT I WILL BE SHARING WITH YOU.

SORRY ABOUT THE 2ND PIC, SINCE IT'S A LITTLE BLURRY. I MOSTLY WANTED YOU TO SEE IN THIS PIC,  THE CORNER PUNCHES.

I DID THIS ONE IN NICE SPRING COLORS, OF PEACH & GREEN.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ANNA GRIFFIN PAPERS. ANNA LIKES TO CUT AROUND HER PRINTS, THEN LAYERS THEM TO GIVE DIMENSION.
SO, I TOOK ONE OF HER FLOWER PRINT PAPERS, CUT AROUND THE FLOWERS & USED POP DOTS TO LAYER PRINTS  & GIVE THE FLOWERS DIMENSION.
I ALSO HAVE SOME OF ANNA GRIFFINS SCRAPBOOK KITS & I JUST LOVE THEM.

1- WHITE CARD STOCK
2-ANNA GRIFFIN PAPERS FROM HER DESIGNER MAT CARD STOCK PAD
3- BAZZILL CARD STOCK FOR COORDINATING COLORS
4-OFFRAY 3/16'' WIDE  RIBBON IN 2 COLORS
5-FISKARS PAPER PUNCH FOR LATTICE IN FRONT OF FLOWERS
6-MARTHA STEWART PUNCH SET ( INCLUDES EDGE PUNCH & CORNER PUNCH)
7-INKADINKADO  CLEAR STAMP  COLLECTION FOR BUTTERFLIES & FOR SAYING INSIDE OF CARD
8- PINK STAMPER CLEAR STAMP COLLECTION FOR  THE  SAYING, MY FRIEND
9-RANGER CLEAR ESSENTIALS EMBOSSING INK
10-RANGER TURQUOISE EMBOSSING POWDER
& HEAT GUN TO EMBOSS THE BUTTERFLIES
11-WATERCOLOR PENCILS FROM ANNA GRIFFIN (TO COLOR IN THE INSIDE STAMP)

I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU ENJOYED THIS CARD AS MUCH AS I DID MAKING IT.

I ALSO LIKE COMMENTS OR ANY IDEAS OF WAYS THAT YOU THINK I SHOULD OF MADE THIS CARD DIFFERENTLY.
SO, PLEASE LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS.
COMMENTS ARE WHAT WILL MAKE MY BLOG BETTER.
LET IT RIP LADIES & LEAVE THOSE COMMENTS & OR ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME.

UNTIL TOMORROW, I HOPE THAT YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL & BLESSED DAY.

TOMORROW WILL BE THE FIRST OF MANY OF MY HANDMADE CARDS

HI Y'ALL,  I WAS GOING TO POST A NEW CARD TODAY. BUT BY THE TIME I GOT BACK FROM SEEING THE SURGEON, IT WAS SO LATE.

PLEASE STOP BY TOMORROW TO SEE MY CARD & THE MATERIALS THAT I USED TO MAKE IT.
AND DON'T FORGET THAT THE NEXT DAY, I WILL START TO TAKE YOU ON MY SURPRISE JOURNEY OF WHAT I HAVE BEEN UP TO.

HERE IT IS, THE LAST ONE # 12 THE TWISTED SPOKE WAGON WHEEL

HEY THERE EVERYONE,
WELL HERE IT FINALLY  # 12 & THE LAST ONE OF THE DISHCLOTH CHALLENGE.

I TOOK SOME SCRAPS OF YARN FROM MY STASH. I WANTED TO USE 2 DIFFERENT COLORS TOGETHER, SO I GRABBED A DK. GREEN & A GOLD. 
WHEN I GOT DONE DOING THE DESIGN, HONESTLY I REALLY DIDN'T  LIKE THE COLORS TOGETHER
ONE NICE THING THOUGH, NO MATTER WHAT COLORS YOU USE, USING  2 YARNS TOGETHER IT WILL LOOK AS IF IT TWISTS. WHICH CAN BE VERY NICE.
THEY REALLY AREN'T MY FAVORITE COLORS, BUT I ONLY HAD A LITTLE BIT LEFT & I THOUGHT THIS DESIGN WOULD BE A GOOD WAY TO USE THE YARN UP.
MAYBE, IN THE FUTURE I WILL TRY MY DESIGN AGAIN & USE 2 DIFFERENT COLORS THAT I REALLY LIKE.
I HOPE THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT WILL TRY MY DESIGN & MAKE ONE IN THE COLORS THAT THEY LIKE. IT WOULD BE SO NICE TO SEE YOUR WORK.

SUPPLIES THAT I USED:
RED HEART WORSTED WEIGHT YARN COLORS DK. GREEN & GOLD(SMALL AMOUNT, I ACTUALLY HAD ONLY A FEW YARDS OF EACH)
G CROCHET HOOK

INSTRUCTIONS:
HOLDING BOTH STRANDS OF YARN TOGETHER, CHAIN 6, SLIP STITCH IN FIRST CHAIN TO FORM A CIRCLE.

ROW 1- CHAIN 4,(THIS IS YOUR FIRST TRIPLE CROCHET & THROUGHOUT) DO 7 TRIPLE CROCHETS IN CIRCLE, SLIP STITCH TO TOP OF CHAIN 4 (8 TRIPLE CROCHETS)

ROW 2-  SLIP STITCH OVER TO SPACE  BETWEEN CHAIN 4 & FIRST TRIPLE CROCHET OF PREVIOUS ROW.
CHAIN 4 & TRIPLE CROCHET IN SAME SPACE. CONTINUE AROUND DOING 2 TRIPLE CROCHET IN EACH SPACE AROUND, SLIP STITCH IN TOP OF CHAIN 4.

ROW 3-  REPEAT ROW 2

ROW 4- CHAIN 1, SINGLE CROCHET IN STITCH IN BACK LOOP ONLY AROUND, SLIP STITCH IN TOP OF CHAIN 1, FASTEN OFF GREEN YARN.

ROW 5- CHAIN 1, WITH GOLD YARN, REPEAT ROW 4, FASTEN OFF.

ROW 6- ATTACH GREEN YARN, SLIP STITCH IN SAME STITCH, CHAIN 1 & REPEAT ROW 4 ONE MORE TIME. SLIP STITCH IN TOP OF CHAIN 1 STITCH, FASTEN OFF.

YEY, YOUR DONE.
NOW WASN'T THAT EASY?

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS POST, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO POST & ASK.
I WILL HELP YOU ANYWAY I CAN, WITH THIS DESIGN OR ANY OTHER DESIGNS THAT I HAVE POSTED IN THE PAST.

TOMORROW, I WILL BE BACK TO POSTING MY HANDMADE CARDS.
BUT IN BETWEEN THE POSTS, I WILL BE TAKING YOU ON A JOURNEY OF WHAT I HAVE BEEN UP TO.
SO, I HOPE THAT YOU WILL CHECK BACK OFTEN TO JOIN IN MY JOURNEY.

IF YOU ARE ALREADY A FOLLOWER, THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING ONE.
BUT IF YOU ARE NOT, I HOPE THAT YOU WILL BECOME A FOLLOWER OF MY BLOG.
I HOPE THAT Y'ALL HAD A WONDERFUL & BLESSED DAY.
HUGS,
DEE

NUMBER 11 OF THE DISH CLOTH CHALLENGE

HELLO LADIES,
AS I PROMISED, HERE IS NUMBER 11 DISHCLOTH. I GOT THIS DESIGN FROM MAGGIE WELDON'S 365 DAYS OF DISH CLOTHES. SO IF YOU GO TO HER SITE & LOOK AT # 2, VALENTINES RIPPLE, THIS IS THE DESIGN THAT I USED.

THANKS MAGGIE   

SUPPLIES I USED:
G CROCHET HOOK
LILY VARIEGATED COTTON YARN (FROM MY STASH)

EVERYTHING ELSE I DID THE SAME AS THE INSTRUCTIONS.
I AM REALLY SORRY FOR THE DELAY.
TOMORROW I WILL POST # 12
THIS LAST DISHCLOTH IS MY OWN DESIGN.
 IT WAS VERY EASY TO DO & I USED SCRAPS OF 2 DIFFERENT COLOR YARNS.

UNTIL TOMORROW, HOPE THAT YOU HAD A WONDERFUL & BLESSED DAY.
HUGS,
DEE

UPDATE

HELLO EVERYBODY, I WILL BE BACK TO BLOGGING IN A DAY OR TWO.
I PLAN ON POSTING THE LAST 2 DISHCLOTHES & INSTRUCTIONS.
ALSO, I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE PLANNED FOR THE FUTURE.
I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A PROJECT, WHICH I WILL BE SHARING WITH YOU.
THE REASON I HAVE BEEN MIA FOR A FEW WEEKS, IS BECAUSE I HAVE HAD SERIOUS PAIN WITH MY BACK. VERY SOON I WILL BE GETTING MY 3RD BACK SURGERY & I AM HOPING THAT IT WILL TAKE AWAY SOME OF MY PAIN. I HAVE ACCEPTED THE FACT THAT I WILL ALWAYS HAVE PAIN, BUT IF THE DOC CAN TAKE SOME PAIN AWAY BY FIXING WHAT HE HAS SAID, THAT I HAVE 3 BROKEN SCREWS IN MY BACK, THAT WOULD BE A BLESSING.
OVER THE YEARS I HAVE LIVED WITH PAIN IN MY BACK & HAVE LEARNED TO ACCEPT IT, BUT IF THIS SURGERY WILL KEEP ME OUT OF A WHEEL CHAIR, I WILL BE VERY GRATEFUL.
SO, I HOPE THAT YOU WILL CHECK BACK IN A DAY OR TWO.
COME & JOIN IN MY JOURNEY OF CRAFTING. WE WILL HAVE FUN ON THE WAY.
SEE YOU THEN.
I HOPE THAT YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL & BLESSED DAY.
HUGS,
DEE
