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.

Little Mint Green Cardigan

A pinch and a punch, it's the first of the month Mrs Beez!

I've said it before and, no doubt, I'll say it again, but where is this year going?  Before we know it, it will be Christmas in July.

Last week I shared with you a little cardigan I had made for my sister to give to her friend who is about to become a grandmother for the first time.  I mentioned that I had made a second cardigan for her to give to her friend ...


Here's a close-up, so you can make out the design.


This pattern is one of my vintage ones from Robin Bambino, number 2496. This pattern is one of my favourites, I have made it countless times because it is quick and easy to make - especially when you are in a hurry to make something for your sister to give to a friend.

Have a great day.

Dionne

      Thank you so much Carol. I do have a lot of patterns, I think I have something of an addictive personality. I have a lot of patterns, a lot of rubber stamps, a lot of metal dies, a lot of cross stitch kits ete, etc.

      Ha ha ha, what is it they say? A punch and a kick for being so quick. After all of these years I still always think of you on the first of the month!

      I don't mean to brag ... OK I am bragging, but mine are all made already. Lol! ; )
