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.

Aha Me Hearties

Shiver me timbers and walk the plank!  It is not officially the International Talk Like a Pirate Day until Saturday, 19 September so you are not requires to slap your thigh and shout 'Ship Ahoy' today.

However, there is a new 'Red, White and/or Blue' Challenge starting at Crafty Boots Challenges today and it is my turn to host this Challenge so I have chosen some of my absolute favourite images for my Design Team pieces. 

Today's card features a Mo's Digital Pencil digi image called 'Captain Hugh'.


After coouring the image with Promakers I mounted it on silver mirri and some red and blue card.  The backing paper is from a Dovecraft pack.


The Sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and the little yacht charm is from my stash.

The rest of the Crafty Boots Challenges Design Team have been working so hard preparing inspirational pieces, they really are a talented group.  When you hook up your projects make sure you take a look at their amazing work.

Good luck.


Dionne
