We put the Christmas Tree up in the village
It's been a busy week - the best sort of busy with lots of making even it's not all my own!
On Friday night I taught a class making Felted Faries (with help from the very talented Kaye)
And on Saturday we hosted the last regular Kids' Crafty Church with half a dozen wonderfully crafty kids:
These boys sat learning how to loom knit and kept going . . . And both want their own looms for Christmas!
And their sisters spent ages colouring and sizzixing (another item on the Christmas list!)
Meanwhile a very talented mum did the beautiful Remembrance Day flower arrangements
Meanwhile my girls have been "un-making" - they learnt how to use a wallpaper stripper (and how to empty 40 years of gunk out of radiators!)
And as for me? Customer embroidery
And (embarrassed cough) discovering what NOT to do when you are home alone
Apparently it's not a good idea to put a finger under a moving sewing machine needle!! Don't ask what I was thinking - I have absolutely no idea!!!!
I had to ask the nice man next door to pull the broken tip of the needle out of my finger!!! It throbbed for a while but seems to be healing well!
We hosted a Kids' Crafty Church this afternon, and girls from 4 lovely families joined us. We had girls knitting, sewing and playing with pipe cleaners.
Daisy's loom knitting grew from this to this in just an hour - not bad for a 9 year old!!!!
While her sisters stitched these
Jess also had a go at loom knitting - a bigger loom takes longer to grow but she's doing great!
Georgia tried the knitting but went back to sewing - some lovely blanket stitch there
And little Isla had great fun with pipe cleaners - with a bit of help from Grandad
And in other news . . . look what I've been asked to rehome!
I just have to make sense of the instruction book!
