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.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Good morning

Another day, another card.  Day five of my personal challenge to post a card every day for the duration of the current Crafty Boots Challenges, the theme of which is inspired by Children's Stories.

Today's card was inspired my the lullaby Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.


This image is Swinging on a Star by Teddy Bo & Co. I coloured the image with Promarkers and made the star with glitter and Wink of Stella Pens.

This is a new shape of card for me and I really like it, but I have no idea what you would call it.  I think you will be seeing more for this shape from me.


I love using mirri card and glitter but it makes photographing anything very difficult and there are lots of reflections and glare!

Oh, I almost forgot to say, the moonstone brads are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The first verse of this song was very familiar to me, and in fact was a big, big favourite of my niece when she was about three.  However, I recently discovered that it has a lot more verses ....

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
'Till the sun is in the sky.

As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark.
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.
How I wonder what you are.

Have a great day and hopefully I'll see you again tomorrow.
