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.

So Dear to Me

I have, at long last, started to make some Christmas cards - albeit at a very slow trickle.

This stepper card is decorated with images from a Hunkydory Adorable Scorable set called 'Contemporary Christmas'.


I made the stepper card with the help of a Presscut die and the sentiment is from my stash. I layered the images using 3D spacer foam and I added a few flat backed pearls.


Let's take a quick look in at our little elves, Louis and Coco, to see what they were up to last night. Oh no! It looks like those naughty brothers have shown up!!!!


Oh dear, things are not looking good, what are they up to?


Oh dear they have got into the baking flour and are using it to make 'Snow Angels'.


The baking flour is going everywhere.


"Oh no!", gasps poor Coco. "What a mess" 😞.


Louis cannot even bear to look!


Well, I wonder who is going to have to clean that lot up?

See you tomorrow.


Dionne

      Thank you Carol, at least I have made a start on my cards. I've managed to make about a dozen now. I just need to clean up the mess to make space and photograph them.

      I had never heard of Snow Angels until a few years ago, and so. I have never made them .. but then we do not get enough snow very often.

      Many thanks for stopping by Faith. Oww, I have a feeling that these three new elves are going to be nothing but trouble!

    The card is stunning! The images are gorgeous. Those elves! Actually, the counter top looks pretty much the same as mind did this morning when I was making multiple batches of pastry before work!!! xxx

      Thank you very much.

      Are you sure you haven't been visited by elves in the night? Check your cake boxes, perhaps someone has already made your pastries. That would be nice. On the other hand, some little sweetheart may have just been rolling around in your flour wearing their muddy boots. ;)
