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.

Party Time

There a still a few days of the current Crafty Boots Monochrome Challenge and I have another colourful monochrome design to share with you today.


This lovely dress image is a Fairydoodler stamp, from Teddy Bo and Co, called 'Short Prom Dress'.  I coloured the image with Promarkers and then mounted it on silver mirri card and navy blue card.  The backing papers are from Stampin' Up and so is the sentiment stamp. The High Heel Glam Stiletto Shoe die is by Tattered Lace .


Well, the weekend is almost here and it looks as if the sun is going to shine.  Have a lovely time.

  2. Beautiful Dionne! I love the colouring on the dress, amazing shading...not something I have ever mastered! Great colours, sort of vintage hue of teal, goes great with the metallic trim! hugs :)
