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.

Once Upon a Time

The British summer has arrived, it's Wimbledon fortnight, last week we had record breaking highs and this week cooler weather and occasional rain is forecast.  Some things never change.

On the other hand, it is time for change at Crafty Boots Challenges with a new challenge starting today.  For the next two weeks we are asking you to share your projects containing either stars or stripes ... or both.

For my Design Team card I have gone with the star option, if you know what I mean.


The image is called 'Talking With the Moon' and it comes from A Day for Daisies, I coloured it with Promarkers and added glitter and sequins.


I mounted the image on pearlised paper.  The star themed backing paper is by DoveCraft and the wooden star shaped buttons came from my stash.  The 'Once Upon a Time' sentiment is a rub-on from Royal & Langnickel Brush.

My fellow team mates have been busy making inspirational pieces, please make sure you check out their designs when you enter your project into the challenge.

Good luck.


Dionne

      Thank you Lisette, I must admit that the more I look at this image the more I really like her and it was great fun to be using rub offs again.
