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.

Love Isn't a Big Thing; It's a Million Little Things

Where did the weekend go?  I hope you had an enjoyable time, no matter where you were or what you were doing.  We had a very wet weekend but all I need is a spot of card making to raise my spirits although at one point I did wonder whether my time would have been better spent making an ark.  

This week sees the Wedding Anniversary of my sister and her husband.  They have been married so long that I actually forget how many years it has been - and I think she has also forgotten!

I made this card from a Hunkydory Adorable Scorable pack called 'Animal Crackers'.  A great set because almost everything you need can be found in the pack.  All I needed to add was some glue and the Anniversary sentiment (I have always wondered why kits of this type do not include Wedding Anniversary sentiments).

Who would have thought that ladybirds and elephants would work so well together?

    1. Thank you, anything to make you happy. I was just about to suggest sending one from this set for your anniversary when I realised that I do not know the date. If I'm honest I would probably miss it, I seem to be missing everyone's birthday this year - I had to apologise for missing three today and then I found out that one of them is actually tomorrow so technically I had not missed it! Every year I get worse at remembering to send cards!
