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.

Here Chick, Chick, Chick!

I have a busy day today but I just have time to make a very quick post to share another spring card with you.  As you probably know, the current challenge at Crafty Boots Challenges is 'Spring is in the Air'.

Either this Sherbet Pip character is very small or those chicks are very big and I would not want to be around when they grow up - I prefer to think that Chicky Pip is not very big.


After colouring the image with Promarkers I mounted it on silver mirri and some blue card.  I made the balloon shapes with a punch from Stamping up.  I cut thin stripes of blue card to make the strings.  The paper is from a DoveCraft paper stack called Back to Basics II, both the ribbon and doily came from my stash.  I made the sentiment on my computer.


There is still lot of time for you to enter your spring projects in the Crafty Boots 'Spring is in the Air' Challenge.

Good luck.

    I can never get enough baby animals Dionne! This is just so sweet and pretty! I love the fancy shaped base, and that yellow ribbon is remarkable, what a lovely punch of spring! hugs :)
