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.

Dolls Pram Blankets

Last year one of my closest friends bought her granddaughter a little dolls pram for Christmas.  I was asked if I could make a couple of blankets for it.  Which I did, but I totally forgot to share them after Christmas, so here they are now.

I used the same crochet stitch for both blankets but made different boarders to give the blankets a different look.


I made the red one a little longer and turned down the top edge, tucked some lace from my stash under the fold and added some tiny rosebuds.  The white one I gave a very simple fringe - an oldie but a goodie!

      Thank you. After all the big people's blankets it was fun to make two tiny ones - they only took a couple of days to make.

      Thank you. The fringing is so easy to do, much easier than the scalloped edge.

      Thank you, what an honour to be mentioned in the same sentance as your grandmother. This was a pattern I had been using to make something else when my friend asked me to make these blankets and, I was so taken with it, that I adapted it to make these little blankets. Sadly, I cannot remember what it was I had been making and therefore cannot find the pattern now. It was such a versatile little stitch, but I have looked through loads of my patterns and just cannot find it!
