Going Scarf Crazy!

Hello everyone,

I hope you all having a great weekend!

First I have to start with a big apology

for my infrequent posting

but if you look at the pictures below 

I think I have a pretty good excuse.

Baseball season is in full swing,

the team is doing great,

 so proud of the boys!

 How much better can it get

a great ball game and a

beautiful sunset!!!

 Life is good!!!

Since I been spending a lot of time on the road

and on bleachers lately card making came to a shrieking halt.

 But not to worry, there is my other addiction "Knitting",

my portable craft!

I love wearing scarves, even in the summer,

so what better opportunity to add a few more to my

extensive collection.

Pattern for "Sommerschal".

 The scarves been going everywhere with me,

the hubby drives I knit,

waiting for the game to start, yep, I knit!

You could say things gotten a little scarf crazy!!!

 Beautiful yellow yarn,

Mimosa by Yarn Bee.

 Unforgettable by Red Heart Boutique.

This yarn comes in beautiful colors,

this color is called Winery.

 Some of the scarves are knit with 

"I Love this Cotton!" from Hobby Lobby.

 I didn't quiet give up on stamping.

After I finished a few scarves I thought they needed 

a little something to finish them off.

A 2 inch band to hold them together did the trick.

Stamped with Stampin'Up! set "Hand Knit"

 Some of the finished scarves.

They will make great gifts for family, friends and yes a few more for me! 

Lots more opportunity's to knit, 

Baseball season isn't over to June ;)

Thanks for stopping by

and

Happy Knitting!

Happy Early Easter!

Hello everyone!

I know Easter is still a week away

but since I'm a little behind in posting 

I wanted to wish you all an early 

"Happy Easter"

and share my 

"Chicky" Easter card with you!

 "Chick in Cracked Egg" stamp from Stampabilities

The yellow and white lacy label was cut with

the Cricut cartridge "Lacy Labels", "Beautiful" 2 3/4 inches.

 Sentiment "Heaven Blessed" from Stampin!Up.

 Punched flower.

 Love the beautiful spring colors in this card.

I'm so ready for spring to get here,

not much longer, our grass is already turning greener 

and my daffodils are blooming.

Ah, things are coming back alive.

Easter decoration on our front porch.

Thanks so much for taking time and stopping by!

Wishing you and your family

a wonderful and blessed

Easter!

Feeling Green!

"Feeling Green" 

even so it's a tide bit

white outside!

Hello everyone,

so glad you stopped by on this snowy weekend!

 Yes, we received a fresh cover of snow,

so much so it stranded people on roads and interstates,

and closed businesses and schools,

very impressive for Kentucky in March!!!

Sure hope Mother Nature is done with

all this crazy weather and

we can move on to spring soon!

I guess with all this snowy stuff, I almost forgot 

that St. Patrick's Day is just a few days away,

but with a little scrambling I got the cards done

just in time to go in the mail by Monday!

 Stamps are from Stampin'Up! set "Pinch Proof".

 Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Remember my hibernating Monkey project?

 Well it made progress...

 ... stitch by stitch...

 ... eyes and nose...

 ... a pink hat and scarf...

... Hurrah, she is finally done!!!

Debating if she needs a tutu?!

What do you think!

Thanks for stopping by,

hope you have a great weekend 

and

don't forget to wear your green on

St. Patrick's Day!

It's a good Day to...

... hunker down and stay inside!

Hello everyone!

What a week, 

snow, ice, rain and -12 Brrr... degrees!

The only happy one in the family was our 

youngest son.

 Snow day, 4 to be exact.

He won't be looking so happy in the summer 

when he has to make all those days up.

After missing 3 days of  work

I was ready to brave the sub zero temps and 

slip and slide to work.

I made it and it

never felt so good to get out of the house!!!

The only good thing of not being able to go anywhere

was I got quiet a few things done.

Finally painted my laundry room and

I spent some quality time in my stamp room

to refurbish some of my card stash.

Here is one of the cards I made,

notice the bright yellow sunshiny colors,

wishful thinking on my side ;) 

 Sentiment from Stampin'Up! set "Watercolor Trio". 

 One of my handmade crocheted flowers and 

punched flower peddles.

I found the adorable denim ribbon at Michaels. 

 Wishing you a sunshiny day!

And I spend some time with a monkey.

Do you have a project you just can't get yourself to finish?

Well this is mine,

the monkey who is been hibernating in my knitting basket 

for the last year or so.

Well I made some head-waves.

Body, tail and arms are done.

Working on the ears right now

and have a muzzle to go.

Hope to get him all done for my next blog post,

keep your fingers crossed!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wishing you a sunshiny day 

and a great week!

Diana

Happy Hearts Day!!!

Hello everyone

and thanks for stopping in!

First I would like to say thanks to everyone

who stopped by during the 

"Grow your Blog Party'

sponsored by

Vicki and her wonderful blog

"2 Bags Full".

 Thanks to all of you who came to visit,

and left kind comments!

I love hearing from you and

appreciate every single comment!

As some of you know I love using my

Cricut machine as often as possible in my cards.

This years Valentines Card is no exception.

Almost the same...

 ... but a bit different.

All the hearts and the dove are punches.

 Letters and the cute little clown were cut with

Cricut cartridge "Victorian Romance".

Clown 3.5 inches, Love 1 inch.

 Could not decide which one I liked better..

... so I made a few of both to send to family and friends.

Hope you have a great week and

a wonderful

Valentine's Day

filled with love!

Thanks for stopping by!

welcome to 

"My Paper Daisy"!

Before I get started I would like to send a

heartfelt 

"Thank you" 

to

Vicki at "2 Bags Full"

And thank you to you all for participating and taking

time to stop by my humble little blog.

I promise I will keep it short since we all want to 

visit as many wonderful creative blogs as possible 

and maybe even make a few new friends on the way!

My blog is manly about my little or

better extremely large addiction to

"Card making"

but on occasion I will venture out and share

some of my other adventures in

knitting, crochet, travel and

other craftsy stuff. 

So without further ado here are just a few

pictures of my creations...

 ... paper crafted gift and treat bags ...

... I love to integrate Cricut images in many of 

my projects ...

 ... one of my favorite card ...

 ... wreath ...

 ... scarves ..

 ... a little bit of Monkey business...
... my knitted sock monkeys ...

... more bags ...

... and a little stenciled sign ever now and then...

... and ...

 ... my favorite room in our house...

... my little sanctuary, my stamp/crafts room!

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop in!
I hope you liked what you see and come back for many
more visits!
