Hello my lovely friends and visitors. I hope life is treating you well.
It's time to share another DT piece for As You Like It Challenge.
We are all about your Favourite Flowers this time ( and why, of course!). I have previously showcased daisies and sunflowers so this time thought about winter time flowers and came up with these.
I have had poinsettias in my kitchen for many winters now and one particular £1 plant from a supermarket lasted well into August. Funny I have never managed it since!! Although they can be a little bit tempermental, I love the velvety texture of the blooms and how they can brighten up a room.
I am really pleased with my new Sue Wilson poinsettia and message dies and ( in spite of my self imposed crafty stash embargo!!) am sure they will get lots of use!! I really enjoyed the piecing back together, very therapeutic.
I hope my crafty friends in the north of the UK are safe and well after the dreadful weather we had on Tuesday. What scary stuff for you.
That's all for now. I wish you a good weekend, when you get there xx

Oh these are gorgeous Sarah. I know what you mean about the piecing together..something calming about the process. Enjoy your weekend. Pat K xx
What a lovely collection of cards to add to your Christmas pile Sarah. That die looks great and I love how you turned it to give different looks. I love poinsettias too and always get one at the beginning of December to start the Christmas season off. We are safe in Manchester but a tiny brook some way behind our house, rose and flooded some local houses. It usually dries up completely in the summer!

Beautiful Poinsettias. You've been busy with the xmas cards!
These are absolutely beautiful and festive. I've been wanting to get this die, but I was on the fence about it. Now I think it's a definite YES!!! :-)
