Lynda White of Meandering With My Muse



I am a mother of 4 and grandmother of 10 who finds paper crafts relaxing. I have been crafting since I was a girl. I crochet, sew, knit, millinary and I make jewelry and paper craft. Most of the crafts are a collection of tools and supplies that stored until I get a bug to create. I love doing crafts with my grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Every since them the magic wallet and made it with them, they always want to make something.

My favorite past time is reading. I never met a book I didn't like. I am retired so time is my own. I got a Wishblade last year and am trying to learn the program. Making pop-ups is one of my passions that I feel the Wishblade will be a great help with.

This Mary and Baby stitching pattern from Stitching Cards is on violet A2 (5.5 x 4.25) card stock with 2 ivory handmade paper with an violet layer sandwiched between. The top ivory layer is a frame for the gold card stock and white iridescent thread embroidery pattern with gold beads for the halo.

Thank you for allowing me this honor!

Kate Wiles of Down Right Crafty





Hi I am Kate Wiles, I live in New Waltham, near Cleethorpes, on the East Coast of the United Kingdom at the mouth of the River Humber, with my husband, eldest son and my beautiful dog Star.

I suppose I have crafted since the age of about 8. Starting knitting with my mum and grandma, then crocheting and from there to cake decorating, flower arranging and making ballgowns. I had a spell with the husband decorating the house windows and in October 2008 when the husband took up fishing I decided I needed to find a new hobby to keep me occupied. I chose card making, which rapidly turned into attending scrap book classes at a local shop. I attended some card classes learning lots of techniques and became addicted to stamping, altered art and scrapbooking. I am also now I suppose addicted to blog challenges.

My small box of tricks grew to taking over a full corner of the lounge, at which point my husband very kindly converted one of my unused bedrooms into my very own craft room. This was christened the "Beach Hut" due to its sand, sea and beach hut colours. I spend many an hour in there enjoying myself.

I am so excited to have been chosen for the challenge 44 Guest Designer and hope you all enjoy the challenge. I know I did.
