Our 1st Birthday

Hi All

Just a reminder about our birthday meeting on Saturday 14th September.  I need numbers for catering purposes please so let those email flow in urgently.  I would really love to have the biggest turnout yet.

I am busy getting my ducks in a row for 2014 and would love to have some input from you as to what you would like to do at the meetings.  I think that the classes thus far have been great fun and would like to continue to do them but obviously need your feedback.

Some suggestions already received include another advanced crochet techniques class, beading, fair isle knitting which I think we will do next month and a demonstration of cake icing.  That could be fun.


Another suggestion is that we do a bring and tell of the projects which we have completed including items made as a result of one of the classes.  I think this should be part of every meeting.



 Perhaps Merle has finished her gilet?  We shall have to wait and see.  Hopefully she will bring it for us to see sometime in the future.

Remember I told you that Brigette has moved to Cape Town?  These two pictures are from her garden.  Cape Town's views are almost as fantastic as mine!!!!





Petro had a stall at the International Quilters Exhibition held at Emperor's Palace near the airport this past weekend.  By all accounts it was a great success and I am really happy for her because I truly believe that she deserves it.

Don't forget to diarise the dates of her annual show which showcases the embroidery work done by her students during the past year.  Here is a copy of her flyer as a reminder.  I will be helping Brigette with her jewellery at the show and hope to see all of you there.



As usual, please let me have any comments (both good and bad) and numbers for the meeting on Saturday.

Enjoy your crafting

Our First Birthday

Hi Everyone

Thank you to those who responded with some ideas for the last 3 meetings for this year.  It is wonderful to get a response and to have other ideas from which to work.

I have decided that for our next meeting we will not be doing any specific class.  I thought that as it is our first anniversary, we should just have a peace-out day.  I have arranged with Juanita that she will bring some of her amazing cup cakes for us to enjoy as we celebrate.

Our next meeting in October, I will give some instruction on knitting with two or more colours.  PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS MEETING HAS BEEN MOVED A WEEK LATER TO THE 12TH OCTOBER.  The weekend of the 5th October sees Petro's annual craft show and I am involved with assisting at Brigette's jewellery stand.  Here are the details of the show.  Please make an effort to visit us there. I promise that you won't be disappointed as the standard of handwork on display is really first class. 






Our final meeting for the year will be on 16th November and once again, I think we will just have a peace-out meeting with no classes.  I am collecting in any ideas as to how we should celebrate the end of the year meeting so let me know what your ideas are.  I already have a few to mull over but would love to hear from you all.

One more thing - my eldest granddaughter, Sydney, earned a platinum medal in the gymnastics competition this past weekend.  You go girl.  Nana is very proud of you.


Well, that's it for now.
Keep crafting
Sharon
