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.

Advent Countdown - Day 17

Monday again, I hope you had a good weekend.  This is the first of two posts today.

It is time to look behind door number 17 of this Advent Calender and what do we have today?  It is a red and white sham-pleat skirt with a cord tie at the waist.


The skirt pattern is from Mary Jane's Tearoom Anika  Rabbit pattern, which is available from Ravelry.  It is made of beautiful soft Anchor 4 ply cotton.  This is the second time I have made this skirt and it came out sooooo much better this time.

Back again this afternoon with another post, I hope you can join me.
