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 Easter

I had intended to post these cards yesterday but it turned out to be one of 'those' days and it just did not happen.  Nonetheless, here they are today, my 2023 Easter cards.


I may have mentioned to one or two of you that recently I have been collecting metal dies from Amazon, unfortunately they do not have a maker's name on them.

I have had the backing papers quite some time but I believe they were from Kanban Craft's and the gold and silver mirri board and the glitter card are all from my stash.

In the UK the sending of greeting cards at Easter is not very common but this year I received a record number of cards, so I thought I would share them with you and thank those who sent them.  I was thrilled to receive them, thank you.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your Easter break.

    1. Thank you for your comments Carol. I have to agree with you, those bunnies are really cute and I also really like the backing papers - at first I thought they were polka dots but, upon closer inspection, it turns out they are small stars. I love the idea that everyone is busy eating chocolate eggs.

    1. Thank you Faith, they were fun to make. I do not use my dies very often but I am going through a phase, so there will probably be more in the not too distant future. Have a lovely day.

  3. I absolutely loved my Easter card in this design. Definitely worth investing in the dies. So perfectly done, as always, and I love the pretty pastel papers x

    1. Thank you so much. I have become quite addicted to dies, although they do tend to lend themselves to much smaller cards than I am use to making. I need to rethink my design format.
