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.

Little Maids in a Row

Life takes unexpected turns from time to time and we have very little control when it does.  One or two of you know that we have been living with some builders and they have turned the house upside down.  The job, and the subsequent mess, is taking much longer than expected.  The contents of both the kitchen and bathroom are boxed up and stored all over the house and we seem to spend our lives walking around saying to one another have you see this or that.

One of the first things I packed away was all of my knitting and spare yarn.  There was no way I wanted plaster dust getting into those particular bags.  This means that they are all at the very back of the spare room and I have no way of getting to them without moving everything else.  Whilst I know they are safe there, I am unable to get to the finished items to photograph them and this is why all of my posts this week will be of cards and these are cards I made a few weeks ago because all of my card making stash is also carefully packed away.

This also explains why I cannot go and check the box these elements came in to see who made the kits or whether I bought them from QVC or C&C.  I can say with certainty that I have had them a really long time, tucked away out of sight and virtually forgotten about.

I believe these images were intended to be used as a pyramid stack, but we are all very conscious of how much cards cost to mail these days, and I try to think of designs where the card remain reasonably flat so they do not attract additional postage. 

All of the elements used to make this card came from the kit.

    Beautiful card and toppers Dionne,I love how you arranged them-the postage is ridiculous if you add a bit of depth! Hope you are soon sorted with the building work

      Thank you Carol. I am starting to get into this kit, the colours are very vibrant and joyful. I am having a few days off from the builders and the constant noise but they shall be back on Monday.

      Thank you so much MrsBreez. The more I use this kit the more I am loving it (I wondered if I ordered a second box, I may have done - you know, one to use and one for me, a you do!)

      I must email you and bring you up to date, there is just so much going on at the moment!
