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.

He Rocks in the Tree Tops all Day Long - Day 19

Yes, it is Rockin' Robin today.  Robins are a favourite of my husband, nothing says Christmas to him more than chirpy little robins on Christmas cards.


This dress came from Julie Williams 'Seasonal Dresses' booklet - the chart for the robins is called ' Hopping Robins'.  Her pattern books are full of helpful tips and detailed descriptions of all the tricky stitches, idea for people like me ie the not very experienced knitter.

I added a small glass bead to each eye and stitched on the beaks by hand.

    I have missed so many of your wonderful posts, but I've scrolled back though and had a looksie at all of your amazing designs. You have been such a busy girl!!

    Well the family arrived on the weekend and the Christmas festivities have begun. Between the holiday madness and taking care of two sick baby squirrels, I will barely have a moment to spare until after New Years. I love the holidays but oh boy, things can pile up and it can be exhausting. Wouldn't trade it for anything though. lol. Hope you have the most amazing holiday season my friend, many many hugs :)

      Sounds like you are in for a very lively Christmas - very different from us, it will be just hubby and I this year. It is not as bad as it sounds we have both been unwell recently,so a nice quiet time with nothing to do for a couple of days sounds wonderful.

      Have a fabulous Christmas and New Year, I cannot wait to hear all about it.

    I think the robins are my favourite. I love how they stand our against the snowy white. X
