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.

Sabrina Revisted

Today is the birthday of my oldest and bestest friend, we have been friends since school.  This is the card I made for her.


The stunning image is Sabrina from Saturated Canary.  Once I had coloured her with Promarkers I mounted the image on silver mirri and red card.  The paper is from a DoveCraft stack.  The butterfly is a Memory Box die, as is the rosette die.  The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.


I have heard very mixed weather reports for this weekend, but I hope that where ever you and and whatever you are doing, the sun shines on you and you have a splendid time.

      Thank you Pamellia, I really like colouring this image - I think it shows when I am colouing one of my favourites, I seem to get much better results.

      ....... And yes, she did like the card and her present, the idea for which I got from you, I gave her a large collection of silicon moulds and craft clay. I hope she has fun with it.

      Thank you.

      Most of the work on this card went into the colouring. I hand coloured the rosette, so that time quite a while too.
