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.

New Dress for Dolly

I am afraid I have not had the time to photograph all of the premature baby clothes I recently told you about (I am sure you are all aware how other things happen to put pay to your plans).  However, I did photograph some dolls clothes I more recently made for my small niece.

This pattern is one of the many patterns I have recently purchased from the Dolliebabies website, this one is Knitting Pattern 111 - Jumper Dress.  To make my dresses more doll size I knitted these patterns using some 3 ply my sister had given to me and which I had no idea what to make with it.

I made the dress in both the short sleeved pattern ...


 ... and the long sleeved version.


I just had to show you the buttons I used to fasten the lavender coloured dress.


Aren't they cute?  I got them from ebay quite some time ago but this is the first opportunity I have had to use them.

The 3 ply my sister gave to me had originally been for a knitting machine and came on spools, there were 5 colours in all, so I made an awful lot of dolls clothes to use it up!

      Thank you MrsBeez, the photos do not really do the pattern justice - I really am a dreadful photographer. The pattern it is a very pretty waffle, as I made them I thought the pattern looked very grown-up. Ha ha.
