Sprinkling Some Delicious Cuppie Colour...


 ...on this wet and miserable weekend! After a week full of rain, and more rain, and some horrid cold, and a bit more rain (did I mention all the rain we've had this week? ;-)...I felt like I had to play with some beautiful bright colours at my craft desk yesterday. So I sprinkled on a liberal dose of bright cuppie colour....and adorned them with mounds of dazzling diamonds...of course!
One good thing has come of all this miserable weather though. My crochet is going great guns. Nothing beats sitting on the couch crocheting under a big warm ripple blanket, on a cold and wet day!

Seize the Cupcake{s}....ALL of them


A simple birthday offering I put together late last week for a friend. I did wish it could have been a more sophisticated card (going on the style you'd be forgiven for thinking she was turning about six), but I was short on time and mojo, so it had to suffice.
At least it had an abundance of dazzling diamonds (until about half came off on me)! This was a redeeming feature in my book (the abundance part, not the coming off on me part ;-). The cupcake and sentiment are from a cute set by Hero Arts.

I will post an update on my crochet ripple blanket progress soon. It is almost half finished, and I am very pleased with how it is going. I have recently purchased a few more Sublime colours too, in preparation for starting a Granny Square project as soon as the ripple is finished (and as soon as I have taught myself how to crochet a Granny Square [with Lucy's help of course]...wish me luck ;-).

I was highly amused to learn at work, after telling a male colleague I was crocheting a ripple blanket, that I was 'becoming an old lady'. LOL who knew old ladies had a monopoly on crochet?...lucky ducks!! I can't be too critical though, because I remember thinking that people who stamped and made cards were all old ladies too, back in my pre-papercraft life. Talk about being stereotypical! My own silliness makes me laugh.

Hope your weekend was filled with a ripply, rainbow of colours, whatever you were up to...

I've never participated in one of these Mojo Monday sketch challenges before, but was feeling in need of some Mojo...and it happened to pop up on my Google Reader.
