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.

Snow Flurries - Day 8

After warming right up earlier in the week it has turned much colder today and they are threatening snow, the real stuff this time.  Rather appropriately our dress pattern today is called 'Snowfall Dress', it is by the very talented SuzieMarie.


The dress is another of SuzyMarie's variations on the Julie Williams 'Seasonal Dresses' pattern. The original pattern was designed to fit the 'Little Cotton Rabbits' series of soft toys.


I knitted this dress in 4 ply cotton.  With all of these snowflakes I think this is another wonderful design.

      Thank you Carol. I seem to have knitted a lot of these dresses this year but at least it is because people wanted them and I have enjoyed making them.

    The grey is just the same colour the sky turns when you know it's about to snow. Not everyone can wear grey but of course this little rabbit can! Keep warm. It's not too bad in Denmark and don't think snow is likely! X

      I keep thinking about you and how cold it must be in Denmark. However, I am sure you have taken a lot of comfort in the football results today. Hve fun.

      Many thanks Pamellia, it is the colour of our sky at this time of year :( Never mind there is so much more to be grateful for.
