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.

Fishing Boats

The current Crafty Boots Challenge is 'You are my Sunshine', or another way to look at it would be to use lots of sunny colours.  According to my research on the internet that would be yellows, reds and oranges ..... but it is mostly yellows!


My card today features Delicious Doodles 'In the Harbour' digital stamp.  I coloured it with my F&C polychromos pencils and then mounted it on some silver mirri and dark blue card.  The backing papers are from Stampin' Up.  The starfish and anchor are from my stash, as is the sentiment.


Don't forget to enter your sunny projects into this Crafty Boots Challenge.

Good luck.

      Thank you. Yes, I have quite a large collection of metal charms which I have put together over the years. The mostly come from China via eBay.

      Thank you. The yellow paper also reminded me of the sand when the tide goes out!
