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?

Some plastic canvas-y goodness

Popping my head up for a few moments to share some awesome plastic-canvas goodness from a recent eBay score. Those bags are quite a feat of engineering!

I quite like the stitch pattern here, and is that a lining stitched inside? Somebody’s a PC-ninja, that’s all I’m sayin’.

This gingerbread house is very cute, I think. I’ve had plans to make some of these for a while now. Someday I need to show you the needlepoint house K. and I built in Second Life, too.

This little vase gets props for using smaller-holed 10 count canvas, and for executing pretty darn nice curved edges. It’s that narrow strip at each corner that does it.

Wow! So if I ever want to give myself an award for being the last champion of plastic canvas, now I’ll know exactly how! I’d wear it with pride, too.

    PC Ninja indeed!

    Now, what I want to know, and I’m surprised you left out, is what in the world do they mean by “Ladies’ Purses and an Entire collection of Children’s pajama and book totes??!!?” I’m assuming they mean pajama totes? Like an overnight bags? But what I’m hoping for with all my hope (like it’s xmas eve) is that there is a kid in that book dressed in plastic canvas pjs. Oh, please, please! I’ll never ask for anything ever again.

    LOVE the white purse! And on another note, I have a question. Are you going to keep the “sister” in front of “Diane” now that Church of Craft is over?

  • This is RIGHT up my ALLEY in terms of the graphic/geographical style. I will definitely put this on my list of things to take on. Thank you for this head’s-up!

  • OMG, Futuregirl just totally cracked me up, wishing for plastic canvas pj’s! That’s even better than a duct tape wedding gown!

    I love the little purse. Love it. In fact, it may be the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen done in plastic canvas.

      Godess, I think your best bet might be to look on eBay for this title. These books are often out of print, but do show up in thrift stores and on eBay reasonably regularly. I find them by searching often. Hope that helps!
