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.

Santa's Little Helper

As promised on Monday, I am back with another of my Christmas cards today.

The theme of the current challenge at Crafty Boots Challenges is 'Christmas' and here is Santa's Little Helper checking that list twice, have you been naughty or nice this year?


This cute image is called 'Molly' and she is from Saturated Canary.  I coloured her with Promarkers and used Polar White Flower Soft and glitter to bling her up a bit.  I then mounted it on silver mirri and both green and silver glitter card.    The Christmas sentiment is by CraftWork Cards and the dark green organza ribbon came from my stash.

There is still plenty of time to enter your Christmas projects in the Crafty Boots Challenges.

  2. Green is not a natural colour choice for me but I love it here and the glittery touches plus ribbon are perfect. I am in the process of emailing you but never quite finishing it off :)

    1. Umm, not a lover of green either, but it seemed obvious for this image. Are you on the 'Nice' list too?
