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.

Baby Blue Cardigan

I hope you had a really good Christmas Day.   Lots of presents, a lovely meal and surrounded by those you love the most.

I have to confess that I am not actually here in person today - I have scheduled this post.  I am probably watching TV and nodding off on the sofa - having eaten far too much yesterday.

I had an operation earlier this year and whilst I was recuperating I did a lot of knitting for my youngest niece and nephew and I am trying to get up to date with sharing everything I made with you.  Today I wanted to show you a pale blue cardigan made in King Cole Cherish Double Knit, the design is another of my vintage patterns from Ebay number 468.


A close up of the lattice pattern .....


Do you remember my Christmas Eve post, where Daisy and Danny promised the girls a special present if they were good?  Did you wonder what it was?  Would you like to see?


The girls each received an angel teddy bear, with a special message on their tums.


They are so sweet and very special.

I hope you are having a wonderful Boxing Day, wherever you are and whatever you are doing.

      Happy Boxing Day Carol.

      Aren't those teddies sweet? They bought a lump to my throat and a tear in my eyes.

      We are taking it easy today after our hectic day yesterday, feet up and the odd cat nap. Lol, when did I become an old lady? Enjoy your day.
