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.

Father Christmas

Happy New Year.

I hope you are having a relaxing day.  Did you do the whole party thing last night?  I hope you did not over indulge.  Do you have a lot of clearing up to do today?  I have a bit to do but I did most of it last night before going to bed, I hate getting up to smelly washing up and old food.

Many of you have been following my Advent Adventures last year (that seems a strange thing to say, not use to it being another year yet).  In the lead up to Christmas Day I gave my oldest and dearest friend one item of clothing for her Mary Jane's Tearoom bears and, by Christmas Eve, she had four complete outfits for her bears Donovan and Daisy to wear over Christmas.

If you have been visiting every day you have already seen these individual items but I thought you might like to see the complete outfits, starting with Santa.


I persuaded one of my bears, this is Romeo, to model the Santa outfit for you.


I wish you and your family health and happiness for 2019, have a great day.


Dionne

      Hi Carol

      I hope John's op went well, it is amazing how good they have got at this proceedure, is he back home now (I think they normally do this one as a day patient now)?

      We are now going into that gloomy time of year, the holidays are behind us, everyone is talking about dieting and down come the decorations .... and it seems so much colder today!

      I wonder, is it too soon to be thinking about making this year's Christmas cards?

      Thank you. I loved making these outfits, but that fabulous Anchor 4 ply comes up a bit bigger and I think that the clothes are a bit large for my teddy.
