Hello there! I'm Sister Diane and I have two grand passions: making crafts and making media. That's what I write about here, and sometimes, I get all thoughtful about internet culture and creative small businesses. Thanks for stopping by! Would you like some tea?

 I’m so enjoying our deck, now that things have begun to flower in earnest! This is my view from inside the apartment. A couple of my most-abused plants have struggled back from oblivion. I love that splatter-faced Torenia. It’s managed to re-seed itself for three years now. And, I have no idea what this pink-flowered, … Read On! There’s More!  I have all these bits of news to pass along today, so here’s a patchwork kind of post: ——————————————- I have a new tutorial up on CraftStylish! This time, it’s Embroidered Greeting Cards. That’s what they look like, up top there. Stop on by and let me know what you think. ——————————————- Lee is having a big blowout … Read On! There’s More!  Here’s the second style of playing-card notebook: a simplified stitch-bound style. This style takes a little more rough handling than the accordion, due to the introduction of good old E6000 at the spine. Anyway, here goes: You begin with two playing cards, and a lot of small pieces of paper. The paper should be about … Read On! There’s More!  Here’s what we made at Church of Craft this month. I collect interesting playing cards, tarot cards, and loteria cards, and as it turns out, they make dandy covers for little notebooks. We made books in two styles, so I’ll do two separate how-to posts. Here we go . . . . Style #1: Accordion … Read On! There’s More!  A couple fun things have happened in Internet-land recently: I took the plunge and joined Twitter. I’ve been seeing so many of you mention it on your blogs, and everyone describes it as addictive. I admit that at first, I thought the whole thing was kind of silly. But, after a full day of Twittering, I … Read On! There’s More!  I was admittedly a little blue yesterday, what with having no 10 year-olds to play with and all, but the mail brought a package from the wonderful and talented Digibudi, and that made a huge difference. You may remember Digibudi from the Men Who Craft podcast. He lives in Belgium and works for a craft … Read On! There’s More!  Okay, one last nephew post, for no other reason than I am missing that boy terribly today. Being an auntie seriously rocks, especially with such a creative nephew. I was worried I wouldn’t have enough boy-friendly making opportunities, but they just kind of presented themselves. Shrinky Dinks were a huge hit. I found a lot of … Read On! There’s More!  Here’s a treasured recent eBay score. I had this book as a kid, and was seriously obsessed with it. At one time or another, I tried nearly every project in it. Copyright 1968, 2nd edition 1976. You can also find copies here. I used to spend hours looking at some of these photos. I dearly … Read On! There’s More!  Just checking in from the World of Vakay. We’ve been having all kinds of grand adventures – just returned from a few days at the Oregon Coast. A few things to pass along: Among my 334 accumulated blog posts to read (ack!), I see that Yarnia has opened an online store! Go, you non-Portlanders, and … Read On! There’s More!  Posts will be a little sparse here for the next week or so, while I do fun things with my nephew, the Coolest Boy Ever. One of which was the Bonneville Fish Hatchery. (Locals, this is a lovely spot, and great for kids.) That’s a sturgeon there – and it really liked my nephew. Which … Read On! There’s More! |
