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.

The Heavy Horse


Friday at last and it is a Bank Holiday weekend in the UK so a lot of people will have Monday off.  I know that a lot of people are planning barbecues and holiday breaks, and one good friend has a family wedding.  The weather is week has been atrocious but I hope for their sake that it is a lot better for the weekend.

The UK is still very agricultural but this is a sight we no longer see in our fields, but what a magnificent sight to see these fabulous creatures at work.  Not far from us is a Shire Horse sanctuary, which we visit from time to time, they have five different breads of heavy horse.  If the weather is nice, perhaps we shall go there this weekend.


This image is from Delicious Doodles, it is called 'Working the Land'.  I coloured the image with my F&C polychromos pencils.


I then mounted the image on dark blue card and silver mirri.  The papers are from a Craftwork Cards stash and the sentiment is from Kanban Crafts.

I hope you have a great weekend, whatever it is you are planning to do.

    This is beautiful. Fabulous colouring, great layout and perfect backing paper. Bit scared of colouring in my images as you have set the bar so high! xx
