Welcome


Hello, my name is Dionne and I have been crafting for a very long time. As a very young child my mother tried to teach me to knit, it was a disaster. However, it must have sparked an interest in making things and, partly to prove that I was not totally useless and partly because I really wanted to make things, I taught myself to crochet. Over the years I have developed a love of cross stitch and all types of paper craft ..... I eventually even taught myself to knit.


I am married to a very understanding man, thank goodness, because I spend all my time either crafting, thinking about crafting or talking about crafting. I am hopeless at housework and dinner is often late!


Thank you for visiting my blog.

More Snowmen

Good evening

These entertaining snowmen are a rubber stamp by Sugar Nellie




I coloured them with Promarkers and added Polar Whate Flower Soft and Glossy Accents.


The little reindeer charms are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The sentiments are from Papermania and the 8 x 8 card blank is by Craftwork Cards, which also came from the Crafty Boots on-line store.

Today has been a bit of a marathon but I wanted to post all of my Christmas cards before the New Year, just made it, phew!

I should like to take this opportunity to wish you, and your family, a very happy and healthy 2013.

Happy New Year!
