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.

Sunflowers and Butterflies

Hello again, how is your day going?

Mine has been pretty busy but I just have time for a quick post .... more pink butterflies!

A few weeks ago I was so excited because I actually won a challenge.  I hardly ever enter other people's challenges, so winning one is a really rare event.  My prize was two digital images of my choice, this is beautiful image is one of my selection.  It is called Butterfly and Sunflowers from Eureka Stamps.


I coloured it with Promarkers and mounted it on pearlescent card.  The background paper is by Papermania and the sentiment from Craftwork Cards.  I cut the butterfly from more pearlescent card using Memory Box dies, the flourish die is from Cheery Lyn Deigns.
