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.

Wishing You Happier Times


A few days ago I posted a card - Sylvan Corner, which some people thought would also make a good sympathy card.  I agree, and was actually thinking that as I made the birthday card, so I have made a second card, but this time using my Memory Box Butterfly Exhibit die.


I decided to ink the edges of the card with blue to give the card a little colour relief, I then mounted it on black pearlised card and inked in the corners of a frame using a marker pen.

The sentiment is from my Kanban Crafts stash.

      Thank you. I think this is my favourite of my recent Memory Box acquisitions. I love it in black, it is like a silhouette.
