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.

My Very Lovely Friend

I recently wanted a card for a special friend and I actually went into a card shop and bought a card.  However, when I got it home I felt guilty about buying the card, so I set about giving it a make over.


I removed the front of the card and mounted it onto some pink coloured pearlised card and old gold mirri card and placed it on an 8 x 8 Craftwork Cards blank - which I had already coloured red with a Promarker pen.  I had some paper flowers which looked very similar to the flowers on the card, so I added a few of them to my design.  As a final touch I put some very small gold heart shaped brads in the centre of each of the paper flowers.

This post has given me that opportunity to share with you a birthday card I received from my dear friend, who is known to most of you as the Crafty Stamper aka Carol. Apologies for taking so long to share this with you.

The cornflowers on this card are the most stunning colours and it is all mounted and raised up.  Carol used Glossy Accents to give the water in the jam jar a wet look.  Sadly, as usual, my photography skills let me down and you really should take a look at in on Carol's blog because her photographic skills are so much better than mine.

More tomorrow.
