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.

Savannah and Her Chicks

What strange and mixed weather we are having, warm and sunny one minute and hailstones the next,  It is certainly April showers .... and everything else at the moment.

Over at Crafty Boots Challenges the theme of the current challenge is 'Spring is in the Air'.  I have been taking this opportunity to dig out some of my favourite spring images, lots of lamb, spring flowers and chicks!


This is one of my all time favourite images and I really love colouring it.  The image is from Mo's Digital Pencil and is called 'Savannah on Easter' although I think it is more than just Easter and makes a lovely spring birthday card.


I coloured the image with Promarkers and mounted it on some silver mirri and dark blue card.  The lovely polka dot paper is from a DoveCraft paper stack called Back to Basics II.

There is still plenty of time for you to enter your spring projects in this challenge, so pop over to the Crafty Boots blog and link up your project.

Good luck.
