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.

Lace Baby Booties

A few days ago I shared my first attempts at making knitted babies booties.  This pair took me a little longer to make and they missed the group photo.


The pattern was designed by Beyhan Cayer and they are made in Double Knit .... although I have a feeling they would look even better if I had made them in 4 ply, perhaps next time.


I hope that you have a great weekend in store.

      Thank you Carol, this pair were a lot more complicated and took several days to make, but I was so pleased with the end result.

  2. These are super adorable and look soft! The pattern looked complicated! I don't think I would have enough patience to do that!

    1. This was one of the more challenging patterns I have tried but I was thrilled with the end result .... although they are quite big for a baby.

      Have a great weekend.

    1. Thank you, but between you and me, not so little feet. They came up quite large for booties.

      But still, they are pretty, aren't they?
