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.

Snow is Falling - Day 4

Snow is fall, all around us.  Little children having fun.  The snow we had on Thursday was very short lived but this little dress is the perfect design for capturing those first flurries of snow, I love how the flakes are piling up along the floor.


The dress is made of 4 ply cotton.  The pattern is one of Julie Williams Little Cotton Rabbits designs, it is rather practically called Seasonal Dresses Supplement, Christmas.   It is a free download on Ravelry.


I'll be back tomorrow with my cute model and another of her Advent dresses.

  1. So sweet Dionne. I love the soft blue for a snowflake design, how perfectly frosty and icy! Very dainty and adorable! I can't believe you had snow already, I'm so jealous. We haven't had a single flake yet this year! hugs :)

    1. Thank you Pamellia. I have several favourites in this collection and this, as you may have gathered, is one of them. I too love that blue and white and the design.

      Our snow was only a few flakes, I actually missed them but my sister told me that it tried twice. It has been very cold though and there are a lot of coughs and colds around.

      Take care.

  2. Now I thought red was her colour but she seems to suit blue very well too. Gorgeous design, love the drift beginning to build. Sadly I have ended up with another cold...not fair! X

    1. My sympathies I have had a cold, with a nasty chest infection, since Friday night. Not a happy bunny.

      Many thanks for your comments.
