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.

Hoppy Easter

Welcome to my space, it is so nice to have visitors and I love the comments you leave, thank you.  I hope your week is going well, it is almost the weekend.

As you know, the theme of the current Crafty Boots Challenge is 'Easter' and I have a quick Easter card to share with you today.


Everything about this card has been die cut ... except from the sentiment of course.  I started with my new Presscut Center Stepper die to make the card blank.  I then used a Cheery Lynn Bunny Rabbit die and I cut the egg from a X Cut set of nesting egg shaped dies.  The green glitter fringe is an Alterations die.  I purchased the tiny paper dragon flies from a very nice lady on ebay.

Don't forget to pop over to the Crafty Boots blog and enter your Easter projects.

    1. I cannot work out if the dragonflies are a punch or die, but I should really like my own, as the lady I got them from is no longer selling them on ebay.

  2. Beautiful Dionne! Love the glittery grass and that fun bunny made me smile. I was trying to figure out those dragonflies as well, such a sweet design and perfect addition. I'm thinking punch? Anyway, happy weekend :)

    1. Thank you, I have decided embossing punch, I think it is too delicate to be a die.
