I have a confession to make though, remember I said I was going to update my craft room, well I did start and then came across my Susan Tierney Cockburn dies and flower kit. So suffice to say that I sat down and started making pansies, and got lost in my flower making that dinner was a little bit later than usual last night.
So this morning I have put together an 8X8 card displaying my Pansies. The backing paper is from Graphic 45 Secret Garden Pad and its so stunning, I would recommend it to anyone that loves flowers.
The corners again are from Joy Crafts and the clock and the swirls are from Cheery Lynn and are so easily cut. The sentiment is one that I keep reminding myself and its from Inkylicious.. You can tell that I'm easily distracted, but I have made a start to-day and promised myself I would not start another card until I have spruced up my work space. ( no mentiom of my walk in cupboard though.) That will keep till another day.
A few of you asked about Molly's shawl, but because it was the same Khaki colour as her Mum's and Aunt Annies I did not want to bore you with another shawl. So I have added a previous picture for those that have never seen my Lace knitted shawls. Looking forward to a change of colour for my next one though. Hope you are all having a lovely day whether or not your crafting. Thank-You for all the lovely comments you so kindly leave on my blog as everyone is so much appreciated. Hugs Rita xxxxx

Oooh I love those pansies Rita - I have to admit that I am just like you and it has taken me over a year to sort out my craft room (still bits to be sorted) because I get soooo distracted! Mind you I like it like that because variety is the spice etc etc!!! Your card is striking but purple is my favourite colour so that is a start! I am so glad that you are going to join our CCC club - can't wait to see some of your creations.
Big hugs to you Sue Pxxx
PS The shawl is super - the pattern detail is amazing.
Beautiful card Rita and loving your fab shawl, hugs Annette x
Great card, love those pansies, and I know all about getting redirected when I find something in my stash. The shawls are all enviable, as are your wonderful berets, you knit really well. Hugs, Valerie

Oh wow Rita, your pansies are absolutely gorgeous, they are so realistic! The clock face behind is beautiful, as are those pretty corners. I think you know already how much I love your shawls and this one is no exception! Best of luck with the tidying up... Hugs, Anne x
Oh I can see why those pansies would distract you from everything else.. they look fabulous, as does your card of course, - just beautiful!
The shawls is out of this world, and thanks so much for showing it!!
I can always be distracted by making a flower!!! Your pansies are wonderful and the card just sets them off beautifully.
Fabulous shawl x
Molly is incredibly lucky!
Rita you made me smile that your good intentions fell by the wayside as soon as you spied your crafting goodies and before you know it, you are creating a card!
Nobody makes flowers such as you do. I should nickname you the Flower Lady as they are always so exquisite they look as though they are shop bought, incredible to imagine they are handmade.

So glad that your weather played nicely today. It definitely has an effect on my own moods, especially if we have several gloomies in a row. Your card is lovely, and I'm so happy you located your S.C dies. Maybe I can channel your 'spirit guide' and find some missing items here at my house. Love that G45 paper, and kudos to you for using some of it. I find G45 so hard to cut into a new sheet. When I can find 6x6 pks, it doesn't seem quite so daunting. Love your pretty pansies- so realistic. I have a couple of those flower dies, but not brave enough todate to attempt a flower. Love looking at the dies though! (Much like the G45 paper pads). Your filigree corners were so dressy with the pretty lavender paper & the gorgeous posies. Well done, and the shawl is so delicate & lovely. Molly is a lucky lady! TFS & Hugs. Good luck on the cleanup project.
A beautiful card Rita, I love the gorgeous lilac colour with black and white and a stunning design. I thought your pansies were shop bought when I first saw them they are amazing, you are so clever.
I love Molly's shawl, you are so neat in everything you make and as with everything you show us it is so professionally finished. Beautiful work.

Beautiful card and wonderful pansies Rita. I wouldn't have the patience for that. :) Your shawl is magnificent and must have taken a long time to do, but so worth all the effort. You are a very talented lady. :) x
Gorgeous Rita! The card is so pretty and then the shawl just blows me away too! Lovely :) Kim
Hi Rita,
stunningly beautiful card as usual. Love your superb pansies. They are amazing.
I know what your mean about getting caught up with creating flowers. I too loose track of all time when creating them. Luckily DH doesn't wait for me to cook he just gets on with the cooking. So I am very lucky, and he doesn't have to starve.lol.
Love your superb shawl, it must take you ages to make all that lovely lace stitches, and very fine wool too.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Well, now I know it's Spring - the pansies are out!! It's a great card, Rita, and your pansies look wonderful - so who cares if dinner's a little late?! The shawl is an extraordinary piece of work - wow!

Pansies in bloom means spring is on its way to me! Beautiful card, love every little detail on it. The shawl and the beret further down - well I am jealous - both are absolutely stunning Rita, gorgeous work xx
Beautiful pansies and beautiful shawl!
Oh, you've used that pansy die so well it's now crept further up the 'must haves' list! I love the way you've entwined the tendrils around the clock too. And as for that shawl! WOW. So delicate and intricate. You must have the patience of a saint Rita. Jenny x
Wow Rita. This is gorgeous. Your pansies look so real. The shawl is gorgeous.
Gorgeous card Rita... the flowers are so beautiful...I would never tire of looking at your wonderful shawls whatever the colour...Stunning work... Hugs May x x x
