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.

Happy Families

In recent weeks I have been sharing with you all of the Little Cotton Rabbits, - and their friends, which I made last year to give away as Christmas presents to my family and friends.

They have all gone to new homes now but, before I started my wrapping, I took a couple of group photos to show them all in one place.


There were too many to get them all into the basket, you should be able to pick out six teddy bears, four cats, four mice and elephant and a couple of rabbits.


You have seen them all either individually or in family groups but I thought you would enjoy seeing them all together.  Trouble is, after I made and wrapped these knitted friends, I went on to make quite a few more ...... such a shame they did not make it into the group photo.

    1. Thank you so much, you are so very kind. They are a bit of a jumble but I thought it would be fun to see how many I had made at that point (I did go on to make another 5 before Christmas).
