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.

Letter S

Hi

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog, I really appreciate all of the comments I receive.

Today I wanted to show you another decorated MDF letter.


These letters are so simple to make and they make great gifts.  I purchased an 8 inch letter from Barry on ebay.  I gave it a coat of Gesso and, once that was dry, I painted it baby pink using acrylic paint.  I also purchased a bag of mixed pink buttons from ebay and used these to cover the painted letter.  Once everything was dry I cleaned any excess glue from the surface.

    Absolutely love it and the way the large buttons have been placed so creatively. A great gift idea, I agree.

    Wonderful! I have always loved buttons - I have jars of them. One would think I would learn how to use them!

    This looks good enough to eat. There are some gorgeous buttons in there and I love that it's dotted with larger buttons. xx
