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.

Tiny Flowers - Day 18

Are you ready for Christmas yet?  Just a week to go and I still have lots to do but at least I have finished making my cards and got them into the post.  Phew!


Yesterday we had large flowers and today it is tiny flowers or 'Tiny Buds' as the pattern is called.  This is another of my personal favourites, designed by the talented SuzieMarie and all of her patterns are available free from Ravelry (I have included a link to this one above).


I knitted the dress in soft 4 ply cotton and added a little knitted bow.

    Haven't wrapped presents yet and haven't made any Christmas cards yet!! I actually decided not to make any Christmas cards this year. I am using the foil gold and silver cards my grandma gave me to use. I made a "happy holiday" card that I will hopefully post this week but everyone was hit with a stomach bug so I haven't had time to really take pics and post the card yet. This yellow dress is so sweet. Such beautiful work.

      I completely understand your predicament. We were all stuck down with very bad chest infections and I had a minor op, which put me behind with everything. I managed to make my cards and photographed them but posting both these dresses and the little elves has made sharing my cards as well a little difficult. I am still wrapping but I am starting to see the end of it.

      Good luck with everything you still have to do, we can only do so much.

    The tiny flowers are so so pretty and the bow is such a lovely finishing touch. The relief of getting everything posted is a wonderful thing!x

      I have one last trip to the Post Office to go, I tried to go yesterday but a series of traffic Accidents meant that nothing could get in or out of our villiage. I sat in the car for an hour and only moved 200 yards, I came home in the end. I will try again today.
