DT work and a new obsession

I can't believe that I have forgotten to share my second project for {{Upsy Daisy Designs}} this month...and to think that I already had this one completed in December! Shame on me...

This is another layout I created specifically for a call from {{Scrapbook Trends}} which asked for layouts using punches. But asa it wasn't picked up I can now share it here.

The DT focussed on the two latest lines and I chose {{Avalanche}} for this particular layout. Shame that Mr P and myself look like twats in this picture, but I guess you can't win them all...

And have I told you about my new obsession?

Crochet.

I never "got it" when I was younger and thought knitting was so much cooler, but since I have failed so badly with my last three knitting projects, I decided to try something different. Seeing I already had the yarns, why waste them. And seeing that my friend {{Trace}} did wonders with her crocheting I bought myself this book.

I started to think that I was not normal though (no funny remarks, allright?!!!??) because I could only figure the moderate to difficult patterns out easy, but the apparent easiest of the lot, the {{Granny Square}} had me in tears. No matter what and how, I could not understand it - maybe it was too simple?

Then one day it clicked, when once again I chose a more intricate design which was similar to the Granny Square and all of a sudden I understood and within the matter of one evening I produced this lot:

Since then I have done the same amount again and this evening will start to crochet them together as I should have half my blanket completed.

But all of that did not stop me from completing another one of my {{Art Tags}} 

C = Colour

Colour is an important part of my life. I love to surround myself with colourful things, our front room is painted in different hues of purple, our hallway is red, the kitchen yellow, our bathroom turquoise. And for some time now, colour has entered my craft space too

And last but by no means least - in fact, I saved the best for last....because I am really REALLY in love with this card.

The current challenge at {{Kenny K's Krafty Girlz}} is asking for "my favourite things". 

Well that was easily achieved:

Take papers and stickers from {{Sassafras Lass}}, throw in a few {{Jenni Bowlin}} alphas, combine it with Cosmic Shimmer and colour the {{Biker Chick}} from Kenny K with {{ProMarkers}} and you have an overload of my favourite crafty things.
