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 Advent 2021

Well, I'm back.

I want to apologise for being absent for so long. 2021 has been a very difficult year.  I have been busy crafting but I have not been able to share the results with you .... until now.  I had planned to start posting at the beginning of the month but, unfortunately, I did not have access to the internet for almost two weeks - thank you so much BT.

Therefore, this post is a little late but I hope the delay does not spoil any of our fun.  In the next few weeks I have a lot more Christmas cards, decorations and of course those naughty elves (which we have all found so amusing in the past) to share with you.

I am starting today with something a little new for me - Advent Cards.  I do not know whether Advent Cards are a thing with everyone but my dear friend and fellow crafter Lisette, AKA MrsBeez, has been sending them to me for years.  So, this year I decided to send a few to my close family and friends.

All of the materials came from my crafty stash.


I had three colour variation of the same basic design. Red with gold glitter lettering.


Gold glitter board with red lettering.


And finally gold glitter board with silver glitter board lettering.


I am sure you would like to see the card Mrs Beez sent to me this year to wish me a Happy Advent .....


My apologies for the reflective glare, my camera picks up all of the shine.

Have a good day, hopefully I shall be back later with more cards and those elves.

      Thank you for you lovely comments Carol. I am not sure Advent Cards are a thing elsewhere, I have never seen them in the shops and you can bet that if there were a market for them then they would sell then.

      Thank you Mrs Beez, so nice to see your comments as well. To be honest I had totally forgotten how long each post takes me to put together ....... it's either that or I am getting very slow in my old age!
