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.

Ah, So Soft!

If you are a regular visitor to my blog you may recall the Easter Bunny I posted last week.  I made the bunny using some yarn left over from a cardigan I made for my great niece - I thought she would enjoy having a matching bunny.


The yarn is Rico Baby Dream DK, from LoveCrafts, it is so, so soft.  The pattern is one of my Stylecraft ones - number 4909.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

      Thank you Carol. This yarn was like knitting with whipped cream, it was amazingly soft but hard to make it keep a good shape for photographing. You probably sotted that I discovered the make of the yarn, it took a lot of internet surfing but it was driving me mad not knowing.

      Have a great week - in a few minutes I'm off make a start on another room.

      Hi Carol

      The de-cluttering never happened today. Hubby came home from work early and took my day in an entirely different direction. I never seem to get things done when he is around, I am so easily distracted!

      Hello Stranger, we have not seen you for a while. I hope everything is OK?

      This is quite a light weight yarn, perfect for lovely spring days when you do not need a coat but it is not quite warm enough for bare arms.

      Take care.
