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.

Unknown Flower

I am back today to share with you a card I made using a kit I bought many years  ago from one of the shopping channels.  Each time I look at these cards I hope that it will pop into my head who made them, but I have nothing, sorry.

I am not a very good gardener and I have no idea if these are real flowers, or if the artist made them-up.  They sort of remind me of asters, what do you think?

I made a double tent fold card, all of the elements came from the kit.  I wanted to keep the card as flat as possible for posting, so I split the pyramid elements and placed the largest piece on the back fold and the other two in the front.

I hope you have a good weekend.

    Beautiful card and love the fold -love the beautiful flowers Asters are my birthday flower and although they look like asters the leaves are not the same-they could be Gerberas as they are similar but whichever they are they are beautiful lol

      Thank you Carol, one of my favourite folds but not as complex as some of yours.

      Maybe the flowers are made-up. One of the other ideas I had was pinks, the leaves would fit but the head is not quite right!

      Have a good weekend.

      Between you and me, this is one of the easiest folds going, just 2 folds and no measuring required. This is a really colourful kit and imagine I has it hidden away because Crafty Boots expected more demanding projects. Lol!
