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.

Happy 2020

I am guessing that the observant amongst you are thinking that I made a typo in the heading of this post, but it was deliberate - honest!

Every year, as I take down my old calendar, I think that I should re-cycle the images ... and then I drop it into the re-cycling bin. At the moment it is not possible to visit my favourite craft shops or even buy birthday cards from the local card shop. So, this year I decided to turn the calendar images into cards.

Today I am sharing some of the birthday cards I made from last year's calendar ....




Backing papers, washi tape and sentiments are all from my stash.

Have a good day and stay safe.

      Thank you Mrs Beez, they were quite fun to make. I had the advantage of a good calendar to work with. I made a variety of sizes, these are 6 x 6.

      Thank you Carol. I suppose it was the cute images which made me do something with the old calender this year. I'd like to say they were quick and easy but in truth they took me hours to make ... am I getting old, probably.
