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 ideas are just too good to ignore. This morning on Twitter, I was giggling at how K, whenever he does something nice for me, says “Hey Girl…” a la Handmade Ryan Gosling. And then Rachel said: …And I thought, she is absolutely right. And so, dropping everything, I made this collection of Handmade … Read On! There’s More!  Thought I’d share a bit of sorta crafty, sorta science-y tomfoolery we’ve had going on over here this week. (I’ve always wanted to use the word “tomfoolery” on this blog!) So, a while back, I did a post on CRAFT about this amazing bouncy digital camera. Go ahead and check out the little video; I’ll … Read On! There’s More!  K and I have some home improvement going on this weekend. We had been talking about moving this year, but ended up deciding that staying put another year was more prudent. But after six years in the same place, let’s just say a refresh is needed. BOY, would I love to replace this sofa! It’s … Read On! There’s More!  Just popping in today to share links to a couple kid-craft articles I’ve done recently for CRAFT. The first of which is a tutorial for this life-size board game. We had a blast putting this together and playing with it. I got an awesome deal on carpet squares at SCRAP, and everything else (big dice, … Read On! There’s More!  Warning: Not-So-Great-Photo Alert! (Although, next time you’re trying to shoot in low indoor light with an ancient Nikon Coolpix while the room you’re in is tossing about on the ocean, let’s see how well you fare.) Here’s a little something from the Crafty Chica Cruise. Each night while we were at dinner, we’d get turndown service. … Read On! There’s More!  Ooooh, what a fun time we had this weekend! Peggy of Chocolate Craft Studio opened her doors to a group of PDX crafty types, and we spent a blissful couple hours making stuff from chocolate. Peggy offers an incredible array of chocolate shapes to play with – flat ones and dimensional ones, some decorated with … Read On! There’s More!  Here’s something I’ve been noodling around with lately – embroidered metal discs! Wait – what? I bought a bag of these perforated beading discs a while back, intending to make some beaded pieces a la Miriam Haskell. Only I never quite got around to those, and eventually a different light bulb went on over my head. I … Read On! There’s More!  I’m knee-deep in a couple big projects this week, but carved out a little time to do some more playing with my Hambly rub-ons. I had a thrifted ceramic plate and a dollar store candle holder. Perfect! I was mostly interested in how these bad-boys perform on a curved surface. And I was really happy … Read On! There’s More!  So, I reviewed this book a while back, but the nice people at New Sheer Creations sent me a copy to give away, and some supplies to make flowers with. (Thank you, Fe!) Last night, I entirely redeemed a not-so-great day by diving into nylon flowers. Wanna see? The materials are simple – I’ve made pantyhose … Read On! There’s More!  By the time you read this, I’ll be on a plane to Maker Faire! So I thought I’d wrap up this Provo Craft week by sharing some cool resources I found online for the Cricut. The Cricut message boards are filled with users figuring out interesting things to do with the machine. If you’re curious … Read On! There’s More! |
