Crochet 101 done and dusted.

Ooooooh  I am so glad that I started the Crafty Ladies Club.  I have such a lot of fun at the meetings.  On Saturday we had two new ladies attending so we welcome Carol and Valda into the club and hopefully we will be seeing a lot of you in the future.  To Michelle, Sandra and Sue who were unable to attend due to ill-health, we wish you all a very speedy recovery and trust that you will be able to join us next time which, by the way, is the 1st June.

Brigette and I did a workshop on new crochet stitches which seemed to go down very well.  Congratulations to the girls who did the workshop.  Not all of the patterns were as easy as they seemed but no-one pulled out.  Each one decided that they would only use some of the pattern stitches in the future.  They were not all that impressed with the others but they can do them should they change their minds.

 That's me in the pink top watching over my sister Merle.  Beacuse she is left-handed, it is a little more difficult to teach her something!!

I don't think that I have told you that Brigette is studying Paleontology at Wits.  She has just completed her Masters Degree although we are still waiting for the final results.  She has decided to move to Cape Town to do her PHD.  She will be working at the West Coast Fossil Park and based at UCT.  She will be going down for a week shortly to finalise the details of the project with her supervisors and once she has received the Masters Degree, she will make her move down.  In addition to all the studies, she finds time to make stunning jewellery.  Visit her blog at

Well, that's all for now.  Visit again soon.
Keep crafting
