Last week was Sharon's last session with the crafty church ladies: the lovely Tara made chocolate cake, with buttons - is there anything more perfect???
We had 19 visitors (they must have heard about the cake!) Crochet corner was busy, but three ladies came to learn how to use their sewing machines, there was patchworking, Christmas card stamping, lavender bags being stitched and a whole load of other things, plus of course the chatting the drinking, and did I mention cake????
Hayley and I finally managed to meet up and continue our silk screen printing (blogged about here) and finished the flowers
-
rather chuffed with these - now we need to plan the next stage!
We also had a go at some fabric 'business cards' but these need work, so we added stamping as there was still paint left!!
My other crafting this week was to make a few of these for a guest at the Windsor Homeless Project who is deaf. Could he please have a patch to sew onto his hat so people would know!
Yes of course!!!
In Norse mythology, Thor is the hammer-wielding god of thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, hallowing, fertility, the protection of mankind and of the fortress of Asgard. He is the son of Odin All-Father and he is physically the strongest of the Norse Gods. In my house he has an additional responsibility - he is the guardian of the clean quilts!!!!
And finally not my crafting at all but the lovely Amo sent me this - perfect for under a coat as it starts to get cold! Thank you lovely lady xxx
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Cake looks yummy. I love the screen printing results. What a busy Crafty Church x
