Missed a Week!!

 I could have sworn I posted last weeks pictures? 

When I worked (all the hours God sends) I posted twice a week - now I am free of time constraints I seem to be much less organized and somewhat very forgetful!
I will have to make a New Year resolution to be more organized!  (note I am not promising anything until the New Year!)

We did have a Major clear out of our storage cupboard, and I found a worthy cause for all the stuff that has been in there for ages,  and no one has done anything with it.

No more putting stuff in there "in case anyone can do anything with it"

Chris has taken what was left of the kindly donated de-stash fabrics and is quietly working her way through it, making things for the next years Shoe Boxes and other charity stalls that will crop up during the year.

Whilst I may have been a bit tardy keeping you up to date, the ladies have been beavering away with their projects, and some more of the fabric wreaths have been completed.

Ena and Shirley have done us proud this past couple of years taking a workshop most months.  

I think we should all thank them for their hard work.

Neither will be doing the Programme Organiser role next year, and as NO ONE has volunteered to help with this job, (its not to take a workshop, its to get someone else to do it!) Next years Programme will work quite differently.

You Have Been Warned!

Around the room we had Mrs Beal finishing a cosy quilt

                           

 Brenda is adding the binding to her Tropical Colours quilt

fabulous Batiks

 And Brenda has also finished a striking Crochet blanket

 Lots of Christmas items around the room

from the project day

smocked and beaded baubles

Advent Calendar ready for goodies

Modern Scrappy Tree hangings  (those "scraps" cost loads!)

A Robin hat for a baby grandson

And a stunning table centre - so simple and so effective

 Remember the sock duo? Well they are complete. Angie's first pair (that don't actually match) of socks complete, and they will probably be the last pair too! And Jo's "pair" that do match - smarty pants!

whatever, they will be toasty this winter

 A couple of Hexagon projects

 A Baby quilt in progress

 Some more pretty knitting being worked on

 Marie's Hussuff that is being turned into a knitting needle case

 Bridget is amazed (she's not the only one!) with how quickly her Gold Work piece is progressing

 And Annette is seeing double. Or she will be in the New Year when her first and TWIN grandchildren are born! How lucky is that!!!

 ****************

Don't forget that we are doing a Secret Santa again this year. 

Still plenty of time to make something special for one of your friends at our Happy Group !!

There is a box at our sessions for anyone who would like to donate items that we will deliver to the Sanctuary Project at the end of term

 

They are in need of non perishable foods and household products.
For example:

Pasta meals in packets Tinned meats/fish Tinned soups Cereals

Any items of food will need to be in date please and household items don't need to be expensive!
We would be very grateful for anything you can spare, thank you.
