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.

Spring Flowers

Happy Good Friday.

It has been a few years since I last sent Easter cards but, at the moment, I feel we could all do with some cheering up. I spotted some very nice Easter card kits on the Hunkydory website recently and I bought four sets. However, when I sat down to make the kits I realised that at this difficult time I wanted to reach out to more of my family and friends than the four I had originally planned to send cards to, so I had to get a little inventive ....

I raided my very precious K & Co stack of papers by Tim Coffey for the backing paper on this first card.  I adore these papers and treat them like gold dust as they are now irreplaceable.  I realise that you cannot tell from these photographs but all of the images are decoupaged and, although I had to split them between the cards, there were still plenty of layers to go around.


The backing paper for the next card is the companion piece from the Hunkydory kit, I just added the flat backed gems and a sentiment from my stash.


This is one of my favourite cards, probably because it is my favourite backing paper from the Tim Coffey stack.  I just added a few flat backed gems and the sentiment.


The last card from this set has the other half of the backing paper from the Hunkydory kit, along with an Easter sentiment and gems from my stash.


I have a more cards to share with you, so please watch this space over the next few days.
