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.

Back to School

It is back to school today for my 5 year old niece and it is cold out there.  I have made her some new cardigans and a jumper in her school uniform colours, I think she is going to need them this week.

They are made in King Cole Cherish Double Knit and the patterns are Stylecraft 4909 and Stylecraft 4910.

I hope you have a good day, stay warm.

      Oh, poor Hollie tonsillitis is wretched, I know, I used to get it a lot when I was younger. I wish her better soon and I hope Ellie does not get it.

      It has been bitterly cold here for the last couple of days but it is typically much colder where you are - I know, we are mollycoddled down here.

      Keep warm.

    As always, these are just so beautifully and perfectly done. I would imagine schools are a lot colder at the moment and that's even without the current cold snap! xxx

      Thank you for all of your lovely comments. It certainly has turned cold.

      I love these patterns, lots of stocking stitch, so I could make them whilst hanging around in the hospital - the trouble is I got into the habit of knitting all day and have not broke it yet, so housework is the last thing on my to do list!
