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.

Three Black Cats

More new dies, I really like these three cheeky cats and I think you will be seeing more of them.  They came from Amazon, a lot of their dies are very affordable but there is no mention of a brand.

I die cut the cats from black glitter card, very sparkly but oh so hard to photograph because of all of the reflections off the glitter.  I used a ruler to score the silver mirror card and layer everything on some old gold card.  The sentiment also came from Amazon.


Hopefully I shall be back in a day od two.

      They are fun, aren't they? I have recently purchase a set of similar dies, only they are rabbits. I have not used them yet but I have a feeling that they are a little smaller. Whilst using the cat dies I kept loosing the eyes, they are very tiny!

      The eyes are too tiny I just put it onto white card and used a black fine liner to do the eyes
