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.

Midnight Black

I hope that you had a good weekend and those celebrating Mother's Day yesterday were all spoilt rotten.

I have another cardigan to share with you today.  I suppose black is an unusual choice of colour for a young girl but, when I bought the yarn, I suppose I was looking more at the sparkle in it then the actual colour!


This is one of my vintage patterns from Ebay.  This pattern is one of my niece's mums favourites and I have made it a number of times in the past.

I hope you have a good week.

    I'm sure she will love the sparkle, another beautiful piece of work Dee.

      My little niece loves all the glitter and sparkle and the bonus is that, despite the sparkly thread, the yarn is very soft

      Have a great week Faith and thank you for your kind comments.

      Thank you Carol. Now all she needs is to be invited to a party so she can show off her new sparkly cardigan.

      Hoping that you are having a good week.

      John had another check up at eye hospital today and hopefully he last one on 2 months-an ambulance ride to hospital with Daughter last night with suspected TIA but thankfully scan and ECG were fine so sent her home and just to back if any worse-thankfully she feels a little better today

      Thank goodness for that Carol, what a worry. Trips to the hospital are so stressful and quite exhausting, 2 visits in one week, you must feel shattered.

      Does this mean the John's last operation was a success? That would be great news.

      Take care of yourself.
