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.

The Clarinet Player

Hi

I hope you had a fabulous weekend. It is amazing how quickly they seem to fly by, I cannot believe it is Monday already.

I have two special ladies to share with you today. The first is the latest member of the Crafty Boots Challenges Design Team. Chris Parker-Barnes is an awesome crafter and I am really looking forward to picking up a few tips from her.

Chris lives in New South Wales, Australia with her husband and 8 year old son. As well as crafting, Chris teaches piano and clarinet and ,in her free time, she enjoys swimming, bushwalking, going to the beach, and creating Raw Vegan recipes.

My second lady is this fabulous Saturated Canary image of Allie the clarinet player, just my way of saying welcome to Chris.


Once I had coloured the image with Promarkers I mounted it on gold mirri and blue card. The backing paper is by DoveCraft. I used a Sizzex Bigz die to cut the pink glitter hearts, The lace and flat backed gems are from my stash.


Dont' forget to enter your musical projects into this weeks Crafty Boots Challenge.

Good luck.

      I thought it was a good image to use for this post. I have completely forgotten the name of the glitter card but it is fab stuff, it does not drop the glitter so I do not end up twinkling.

      Thank you, I thought the little clarinet player was rather apt and lets face it I could not do a card with sheet music, I still have not ordered that ink!
