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.

Make a Big Wish

I have been playing catch-up with my posts for the past week but, unlike everything else, this card was only made a few days ago.

I made the card from a Hunkydory Adorable Scorable pack called 'Animal Crackers'.


I used one of the backing cards to make this card and added a framed image with 3D foam pads to raise it up.  The sentiment is from one of the other sheets in the pack.  

The weather was very dark and overcast at the time I made this card and all of the photographs I took at the time look equally gloomy, I do apologise


I am afraid that the flash has taken a lot of the colour out of this card too, which is so sad because the colours are actually very vibrant and jolly.  This Halloween card was made by my very good friend Mrs Beez and I have been looking for an opportunity to share it with you, I am sorry it has taken me so long.


This is another stunning card from Mrs Beez.  The photograph just does not do it justice, there are so many delicate layers of these beautiful butterflies and pansies.  To which she has added tiny little bees, a tiny organza bow and a multi-layered sentiment.  It is a card you really need to pick up and study to truly appreciate.

I should like to thank you for taking the time to visit my blog during the past year.  I know that it receives a lot more visits than comments but I know you are there. 

I want you to know that I truly appreciate every one of  your comments and all of the support you have given to me.  I should also like to take this opportunity to wish each and every one of you a happy and healthy 2023.  May this year bring peace and contentment to you and your family.
