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.

Love is in the Air

Something is most definitely in the air because we have recently been invited to two wedding receptions, how lucky are we?

I needed to make a couple of cards for our RSVPs and I did not have a lot of time to get them in the post.  This card, and it's identical twin, must be the quickest cards I have ever made (and been pleased with the result).


I took an A4 sheet of white hammered card and folded it in half.  I then cut down a sheet of white pearlescent card, cut some white bridal netting from the roll and fixed a diamante slider buckle in the centre.  The tricky part was attaching the netting to the back of the pearlescent card, in the end the solution was simple.. Sellotape!

I typed and printed our responses on the PC and attached them inside the cards.  I just has time for this photo before running up the road to catch the post.  Phew!

Have an excellent weekend.

    Gorgeous Dee! White on white is so beautiful for a wedding and I love the contrast of pearl paper with the matte and the mesh! Beautiful ribbon slider too, so elegant! hugs :)

      Thank you, the wedding netting is a new acquisition, I loved the effect and will be using it again - just as well, I bought a rather large roll!

      Have a great weekend.
