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.

Another Stripey Cardigan

A few weeks ago I posted a cardigan I had made for my great niece.  I made this cardigan in the same super soft yarn by Rico Baby Dream DK ..... just in a different jumble of colours.  I used a pattern  from BizyFingers.


I love the buttons I found for this cardigan but I just could not get a good photograph of them to show you.  Each button is different and consists of a clear button with pale blue striations running through it.

Because of all of the colour changing it is difficult to make out the pattern, so here is a close-up.

Thank you for visiting today.

      The long weekend doesn't really bother me all the days seem the same to me but Matthew is at work all the weekend until Tuesday-he works 4 days on and 4 days off regardless of Bank Holidays

      I know what you mean Carol, the only difference to me is that my husband is home and I completely loose track of time.

      Have a good week.

      We were talking about soft yarns, this one must be the softest I have ever used.
