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?

 Sorry about the little blogging hiatus, everyone. I’m deep in deadlines over here, and crafting like crazy on things I can’t show you. But, check this out! It’s a gift from Susan, which she found at The Knittn’ Kitten. It’s a coaster holder and a set of coasters! With plenty of PC-engineering goodness. Gotta love … Read On! There’s More!  This is perhaps my favorite plastic canvas book to date. I mean, a plastic canvas wedding!!! An absolute zenith of pc-application! Look what a sad pricing-journey this little book underwent before finally finding a good home. This is by far the most elaborate plastic canvas coaster I have ever seen. And I have seen quite a … Read On! There’s More!  I struck plastic-canvas gold on a recent visit to The Knittn’ Kitten with Adoxograph. I have a few treasures to share, the first of which is Toys, Games, & Frames (Copyright 1981 from Plaid). By its condition, I’d say it’s been loved a whole lot. …And what’s not to love? Can you guess what’s inside … Read On! There’s More!  . . . So there I was, on a birthday trip to Kinokuniya for Japanese craft books. And I ran across this. That’s right, comrades, it’s about plastic canvas. Japanese craft style. Holy Moly. Now admittedly, that cover bag is a little . . . whackadoodle for me. But inside, lots of interesting ideas. I’d … Read On! There’s More!  This is a big week! I have a plastic canvas project tutorial up on CraftStylish. (And you thought the ol’ PC would never amount to anything.) I made this little gifty box from the teeny-tiny 14-count stuff, and stitched it with pearl cotton embroidery floss – so it really doesn’t even look like plastic canvas. … Read On! There’s More!  Okay, I know Halloween is tomorrow, but I must confess: I’m so not into Halloween these days. Which is incredibly lame, because I was born on Halloween, but maybe that’s part of the problem. Anyway, I also must confess that I am a bit oversaturated with all the crafty eyeballs, spiders, and pumpkins at this … Read On! There’s More!  Sorry to disappear there – it was a big week for deadlines around here. But, in between other things, I’ve been noodling with plastic canvas. Made a couple good discoveries, too. First, there’s Sugar n’ Cream. An inexpensive cotton yarn, available at any big-box craft store, that turns out to be awesome for pc-work. It’s … Read On! There’s More!  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. … Read On! There’s More!  Cathy is fast becoming my guru. Replenishing her supply of swistraw recently, she came into a motherlode of vintage plastic canvas shapes. And she let me have first dibs. Can you imagine my squeal of geekly delight when I pulled these flower forms out of the envelope? (Bridget – maybe these were how your bag … Read On! There’s More!  WOW. How much do I love this little plastic canvas robot? It’s the genius creation of Nicole Gastonguay. Not only is she freakin’ awesome with the PC, she also combines it with crochet. (Be still my heart…) When I emailed Nicole to gush about her work, she shared with me that she has a “love/hate … Read On! There’s More! |
