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.

Winter Wonderland

I hope you had a fabulous Christmas.

A very quick post this morning to remind you all that the theme of the current Crafty Boots Challenge is 'Winter Wonderland'.

There was a time when I spent all of my spare time cross stitching but these days the hands and eyesight are not what the use to be and I cannot manage the big projects of the past.  However, this was a relatively quick project.


I found the design in an old cross stitch magazine.  I stitched in on a linen using DMC threads.  I think it is a stunning landscape and makes an amazing winter wonderland.

      To be honest, this was a fairly easy one as vast expanse of white is canvass, so I only did the trees and sky. But is looks so effective, doesn't it? All down to the designer.
