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 Queen and the Apple

It is almost the weekend, yea!  What are your plans for this week?  I am hoping to see my family, we have had a few birthdays recently and I have quite a pile of presents to deliver.

The current Crafty Boots Challenge is also celebrating a birthday, a lady far better known than my sister - Queen Elizabeth II.


This lovely lady is also a Queen, she is from Saturated Canary - I am sure you can guess which story she is from.  After colouring her with Promarkers, I mounted her on silver card and some blue card.  The backing paper is from my stash and the lovely leaves and hydrangeas were part of a recent order from Wild Orchid Crafts.


Have a great weekend.

      Thank you. They were part of a new WOC parcel, I really love their stuff and could easily spend a fortune when I place an order. Oh wait, I do!
