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.

Scenic Postcard

It is seriously hot here today and I feel as if I have not slept for days.  Wherever you are I hope the weather is much more comfortable.

The current Crafty Boots challenge is 'Anything But a Card', by that I assumed birthday, anniversary etc cards and not ATCs or postcards and I have used one of my favourite Delicious Doodle images of Craigellachie Bridge to make a postcard.  I should love to visit this lovely spot on the River Spey in Moray in Scotland.


I coloured the image with my F&C pencils and mounted it on silver mirri and some white card to give it a more authentic look.

Teri Sherman's drawing is very true to life, as I discover when looking at images of the bridge.  This photograph was taken by a High School Teacher.


I hope you are having a great day.

      Thank you, I cannot help feeling that there is something missing when I make a postcard and I suspect that it will eventually end up as a greetings card.
