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.

Poinsettia Wreath

A very quick post today because I have to get off to the dentist.  Sometimes I think I have got the hang of using my F&C pencils and then other days things do not go so well.


I used them to colour this Delicious Doodles 'Poinsettia Wreath' image.  I mounted the coloured image onto green and gold mirri card.  The backing paper I used here was from The Digi Rainbow and the poinsettia flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and the ribbon and holo stars are from my stash.


I hope you have a good day and thank you for stopping by.

    1. Thank you Pamellia. A few years ago I bought an artificial poinsettia wreath which is full of tiny lights, it looks lovely on a dark night.
