It is time for a new challenge at Crafty Boots Challenges and for the next two weeks the theme of the challenge is 'Pink'. I am playing host to this Challenge and I wanted to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness. Breast cancer can affect men as well as women, according to Cancer Research UK a staggering 1,300 women in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer every day. As many of you will know, October is set aside every year, not just in the UK but all around the world, to raise awareness of breast cancer and to raise money for research into this disturbingly common cancer. The colour pink has become synonymous with this event.
Use pink in your project to show support for this event and make sure you check yourself regularly for any changes in your breast tissue.
There seems to be lots and lots of new babies about at the moment, we had three little girls join our family over the last month or so. I have been making sure I get my fair share of cuddles.
This little sweetheart is from Mo's Digital Pencil, it is called Baby Shower. I coloured the image with Promarkers and mounted it on pink pearlescent card and gold mirri. The backing paper is from my stash and the sentiment stamp is from Stampin' Up.
Knitting came to me rather late in life but I have discovered a new obsession, knitting tiny cardigans for tiny people. With three new little girls in the family, my knitting needles have been in hyperdrive. Here are a few of my latest creations .....
The Crafty Boots Design Team have been inspired by this Challenge and they have made so amazing projects, please take a peek for yourself.

Your card is beyond cute. Fabulous colouring and perfect mats and layers. Love the little hearts. As for those cardigans - WOW, especially loving the purple! You have been busy. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lisette. If only I had the patience to knit these for big people, my Christmas present problems would all be solved.

Such a sweet card & image. Love your knitting Dee. So lovely. I recently crocheted (I can't knit no longer as find it hard to hold needles) 2 blankets for my friend. She loved them as no one else had made any. I use a special hook that has a chunky handle that is designed for people who can't hold the thin metal version. Take care Zo xx
ReplyDeleteI love to crochet too, it is a shame that the baby patterns are no longer that fashionable, hence why I recently taught myself to knit. But I do miss 'hooking', I am so pleased you have found a way to continue doing it.
