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.

Daisy, Daisy

Here I am with the last of my cards for the Crafty Boots 'In the Pink' Challenge, this challenge has been in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.


My recent printer ink crisis (which I shall not bore you with again) has got me using my rubber stamps ... and it has been so much fun to get out my old stamps and use them again.  This is another Sugar Nellie, stamp from their Sherbet Pip range, it is called Posy Pip and she is possible my favourite from this range.  (I apologise for the shaddowing in this photo, I am afraid the it is raining heavily here and the lighting is abysmal today.)


I coloured the stamp with Promarkers and then mounted it on gold mirri card and some girlie pink card.  The paper, setiment and ribbon are from my stash and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

There is still time for you to enter this challenge.

Have a great day.


Dionne

      Thank you Carol.

      I actually use two craft lights when I take my photos but lately they have not helped at all. However, this evening I think I may have found out why, the bulb went on my OttLite. Wow, the new bulb is so much brighter! We shall see if it makes a difference when I photograph my next project.

      Thank you so much Pamellia. It is still raining here, I wonder if it will be like last winter when it never seemed to stop raining, mind you we also had a very hot summer .... when it eventually dicided to stop raining.

      I am sorry I was so slow answering all of my birthday mail, I hope you have now received my email.

      PS My husband is really looking forward to seeing your fall photographs.

      Sadly even photo editing could not rescue this one, if I tried to brighten it, the card looked over exposed - probably something to do with the very soft colours in the backing paper.

      At least you will appreciate the lovely daisies, others who have yet to discoved WOC will not realise what they are missing!
