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.

Ellie


Oh wow, I know that the British are often accused with being obsessed with the weather, and not without some justification, but I think it has been raining here since last weekend.  There have been some breaks between the showers but never for long and it has turned quite cold - there must be a lot of very disappointed holiday makers out there.

A quick post today and another recent freebie, this time from Tiddly Inks.  This very cute elephant is called Ellie.


I coloured Ellie with Promarkers and I went over her balloons with a clear Wink of Stella Brush pen.


I mounted her on silver mirri card and the very attractive paper is from a Forever Friends New Baby stack.  The lace and stork charm came from my stash.

I made the card for friends of ours who recently had a beautiful baby girl.  Along with th card, I sent a couple of little cardigans I had made for the new baby.



I apologise for the poor quality of the photographs, I am afraid I have never been able to work out how to photograph knitted items.

Don't forget that there is still time to enter your projects in the Crafty Boots Challenges 'Fair and Square' Challenge.

      Thank you, Ellie the elephant seemed just perfect for a new baby car, but I really do not know why the image suggested that to me.
