Cross Stitch, knitting, crochet, dressmaking, card making, scrapbook and wedding stationery.
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.

Gorgeous bunnies love the lop eared one and rasberry is a good name

Thank you Carol, I keep changing my mind as to which is my favourite. Raspberry went to my 7 month old niece and when her mum asked her what they should call her new bunny the baby blew a raspberry!

Beautiful work! These are stunning and so cute. Are they soft? They look soft. I am glad you are doing well! I haven't been on for a week either so good thing I scrolled far enough to check out your new creations. Sometimes we get busy and sometimes I like being outside more than on phones or computers haha :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!! Can't wait for your next creation!
Thank you, you are so kind. They are made from an alpaca mix, so they are really soft (although the wool smells like wet dog if you get it damp, yuk!).
DeleteI am very busy knitting something for my niece at the moment, I have a deadline, so no time to blog what I am making, but I have two of the big bears to share with you when I find the time.
I am pleased to hear you are keeping well.
Take care.

That is so cool. There is an alpaca farm down the street from me. Super soft but agree it is not the best scent at times lol.
DeleteThey are so cute. A friend of mine has an alpaca farm close to where she lives and recently went on an alpaca trek. From what she said, I gather it was a it like taking your dog for a walk ... only it was an alpaca. She had a great day.

Wow, I am so far behind with my visits! Totally in love with your Easter bunnies Dionne! The colours are so perfect and your little dresses melted my heart! You should totally open up an Etsy store and sell these guys, people would go nuts over such adorable hand made items!! OMG, those floppy ears, LOVE!!!! hugs from your long lost friend. lol
ReplyDeleteHello, it is so lovely to hear from you, I hope everything is OK? I am loving these Little Cotton Rabbits patterns, especially the bunnies. I am currently making 25 of these dresses and another 25 jumpers for one of my nieces. I feel like it is taking forever but I am slowly getting there.
DeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend my dear friend.
