Welcome to Daisies & Dogwoods!

Ok, decided if I was going to change the name, best to do it after 10 posts instead of 100.
Here's the explanation I gave on the old blog for the new name:
So after a little thinking, I realized there were 2 problems with my otherwise acceptable blog name:
1) I think the words Silky & Dogwood are pretty, and they are pretty together, but the actual Silky Dogwood plant, not so much so. Looks wise, it's the unprettiest Dogwood I've seen. So I could get graphics on the page to match the name, but then I'd hate them.
2) Silky Dogwood, being a simple plant name will always have 100000000 research/information items show up in a search before my blog.

Soooooo, in a move that I'm hoping with solve all of those, I'm switching to the prettier to picture, slightly more unique to search - Daisies and Dogwoods!

My first post!

Hi, I'm Kim, computer nerd by day, craft addicted new homeowner by night. I'm always looking to share ( ok, more like brag about ) my craft projects, and I'm always looking for ideas to improve them from others.

A little more about me: I start almost every craft with a set of instructions from somewhere, and stick to them for about 10 seconds. I'm more of a jump in and do it person. For knitting, crochet, painting ect, this is cool, because I can usually just undo and try again, or repaint. With sewing, not so easy. It's a blessing and a curse, jumping in and going with the flow has caused some of my best and worst crafts.

Anyway, no one is here to read about me, they are here for the crafts, so here it goes!
