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.

Colourful Beach Huts

It has been a fabulous weekend in my part of the UK, perfect for a trip to the beach.  I imagine that there are lots of burnt faces this morning.

It is time for the Mid Challenge Reminder for the current Crafty Boots Challenge. the theme for the current two weeks is 'Life's a Beach', anything that reminds you of holidays.


My card features another Delicious Doodles image, this one is called 'Beach Huts'.  I coloured the image with my F&C polychomos pencils and mounted it on blue card and silver mirri.  The backing paper and sentiment are from Craftwork Cards.


I created my own little beach scene with brown Flower Soft and some tiny shells and plastic starfish.  The white picket fence is a die cut.Don't forget to enter your holiday project into the Crafty Boots 'Life's a Beach' Challenge.
