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.

Dear Santa

I have been sorting out my photographs and found this Christmas card which managed to slip though the net in the run up to Christmas.


The image is an old style wood mounted rubber stamp from the House Mouse studio called 'Dear Santa: I Ate Your Cookies'.


I coloured it with F&C polychromos pencils and then mounted it on some gold mirri and some Real Red card.  The backing paper came from one of my House Mouse CDs, as did the sentiment.  The snowflake die is by Cheery Lynn and the gold sparkle is washi tape.

Have a good Wednesday.

      Thank you Carol, this was an easy one, so little to colour!

      I love how everything co-ordinates with the stamp and the backing paper and the sentiment.

      Thank you so much Nicole. I have to say that I really enjoyed colouring these House Mouse images, I think I may buy some more of the cling stamps.

      Have a good weekend.
