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.

Advent Countdown - Day 31

Happy New Year's Eve.

Day 31.  Over the last month I have written 41 posts and I cannot thank you enough for taking this journey with me, what would be the point if I did not know that you are there reading my idiotic ramblings.

You may be pleased to read that I have run out of that multi-coloured yarn, but my post today is a variation on a theme and I have made a dress with matching jumper and shorts in peach and beige (sorry of the poor picture quality, I think that after taking so many photographs my attention was wandering).


These clothes are made of the usual soft 4 ply cotton using the basic Julie Williams Little Cotton Rabbit patterns - with my own little twist of course.


For the very last time we have our super models, the monkey twins, don't they look smart?


If you have been thinking that for the past few days my friend has been unwrapping, what is basically, the same thing over and over again, you would be both right and wrong.  I have been adding a little something extra in each of her parcels.

Her parcel today also included a small decorated rock ...


... it has a butterfly on the other side but I forgot to take a picture of that!

Thank you so much for being here for me.

    1. Thank you Lisette. It's not quiet the end of my Christmas posts there are one or two presents still to share with you - but I think you all deserve a bit of a break from me.

      Happy New Year.
