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.

Christmas Shopping Bags

I have a very quick second post this afternoon.

Today my nieces received shopping bags as their surprise Elf on the Shelf gift in their Advent Boxes.


As you can see, I have decorated some of the bags with tiny colourful buttons.  The knitting pattern for the bags are by Helen Cox and is available from Ravelry.

Arlen and Rowena were home alone over the weekend, lets see what they have been up to whilst they thought no one was watching.


I see they found their new leather jackets


and the Elf Report Cards (I wonder if they are writing a report on themselves?)

      Ha ha, don't you just love the idea of biker elves?

      The bags were quick and fun to make, which is why I made so many I suppose.

      Have a great weekend.

      Oh no, I could not have managed the jackets, they came from Tesco (although I am sure you can get them from lots of other places).

      PS Those buttons are really tiny and a right fiddle!
