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.

Just Hanging Around

I guess we all have our favourite pastimes and how we dream of spending that mythical day that no one else knows about.  I should imagine that if everyone reading this post were asked that question no one would not be surprized if the answer were crafting or card making, after all, it is what I would say.  A close second might be just lazing around with my feet up .....


Just like Teddy Bo here.  I have never slept in a hammock, but I do not think I would be very good at it, in fact, I may well end up doing what Teddy Bo has done and keep my feet on the floor.


I coloured this image with Promarkers and then mounted it on some silver mirri card.  As I intend sending this card to my friend's son, I have kept the layout pretty simple, just a few Craftwork Cards card candy and a sentiment.  The papers are from Studio Calico.

    Hello - I think I might've skipped over this post. I've been on my computer every other day and sometimes don't realize which blogs I have actually visited! This bear theme is so cute and it's a great image. Makes me wanna buy a hammock!

      Thank you for coming back to this one in that case. You don't have to comment on every card but it is soooo nice to receive nice comments.

      Hammocks have become rather popular over here, the sort that come on a metal frame.
