News-ie bits...

This Saturday is the Titirangi Mums' Market - a regular event I was completely ignorant of. Thanks to Anissa for the heads up. She is having a stall so get along and say hello - and buy something of course.

Here's their facebook page...

Thanks to everyone who came along to Wednesday's craft session. There was a good turn out to farewell Hannah. I staggered got home at ten to twelve.

Good luck for the Oratia Primary Trivia Night. Hope the pink bunny tails, the sleazy dressing gowns and fake grapes are put to good use! Just what sort of trivia night are we talking about here?



Tasha has knitting sussed now - so much so that she's started a hat which looked complicated to my eyes...



Sue altered some roman blinds to fit the windows in her salubrious new digs...



After receiving some scary quotes from upholsterers Sarah is going to give some re-upholstering a lash. She's hit the text books...



Hannah repaired some of Ava's shoes - the only ones she will deign to wear. Silver sequinned no less. She will look très chic in Paris.

Clare and I were the laptop nerds and did some work. Yes very lame.

Two other news-ie bits...
Tonight I helped Ann put up a display at the Piha Library as a backdrop to their new selection of craft books. Go along and have a look - some goodies there. I'll add some photos when I have the time.

The other news is that we have decided to change the day and frequency of our winter sessions. We will now meet on the last Thursday of every month. Mark it in your diary and come along. I know it's hard to leave a warm house in winter but the hall 'lounge' area is pretty warm and even of you don't feel like making anything you can always just join us for a chat.

Stay warm! And bon voyage Hannah, hope you have a wonderful trip.

Hi all, here are some crafty bits from the previous week.
Tracey made some gorgeous bags using vintage linen. I guess they were tablemats or doilies which she bought at the Oratia Primary School market. What a wonderful idea...


Ann has been working on her hexagon patchwork quilt. She has also whipped up a few little mice - filled with lavender...

In the background you can see my attempt at making a patchwork cushion. Looks better now it's made up. I'll add a photo of the finished item soon...


Our next session is this Wednesday (6th July). It would be great if you could come along - we're wishing Hannah bon voyage for her Europe trip - could be some bubbles on offer...
