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.

Bottoms Up!

I have shared with you a lot of the cardigans and jumpers I had made for my youngest nieces dolls and so I thought it was time to take a look at some of the things I had made for the other half of the doll ie a skirt and a pair of trousers.


I made the skirt in a 3 ply red yarn, I turned the hem with matching yarn but it was so difficult treading the elastic through the waist band. 

The trouser pattern had a matching headband, so I had to make one, didn't I?

I hope you have a good weekend.

    1. I am afraid that I have subjected you to a lot of small knitted items recently, the doll clothes are almost finished but we still have all of those premature baby clothes to get through ..... sorry. Thank you for sticking with me, I really appreciate it and, in fact, look forward to reading your comments.
