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 7

Welcome to Day 7 of my Advent Countdown.  I have wandered a little off-piste today and my Advent apparel is not for my friend's little bears.

Instead I have made a little seasonal jumper for her Elf on a Shelf.  Last week I explained how my friend had found a shabby elf in her garden.  She took him in and gave him a new home, however, he had lost his hat and his jumper was badly scuffed.


I have made him a new outfit, this Scandinavian styled jumper is made in Double Knit and the almost matching hat is made of 4 ply cotton yarn.  I found this jumper pattern by Helen Cox on Ravelry.

I shall be back on track again tomorrow, so please join me.

    You were absolutely right. This is a real treat. Another to convert to adult size! X

      Ha ha, I know.

      Perhaps we are going about this all wrong, perhaps we should be looking into ways to shrink you!

      I happen to know that he has not taken his new jumper off since he got it.
