Update and Another Collection

July has been a quiet month at Group, with people coming and going on their holidays and grandchildren duties.

Carol took our  Monthly project - Box Making - and most of the ladies joined in with this.

We had purchased Pre-Cut Card kits from Pinflair and we had a Sewing Caddy or Rectangular box with Lid on offer. Most of the ladies had decided on the caddy 

Fabrics had been decided on and so the gluing commenced

 With pegs to hold in place

 And despite being told not to only use a thin layer of glue

 Some people needed extra supervision......

 Refreshments were consumed

 Instructions were followed

 Rebels were kept in check

 And the day resulted in a lovely array of boxes and caddies

Carol's Demos

Before the class had ended a list of more pre-cut kits had been made and more caddies ordered to work on at home. A sign of a good workshop   A great day Carol!Thank-you


Many other things are being worked on including this lovely wool cushion by June

A new bauble design from Jo - All out of her head !

Clever girl

Some of our ladies are in a Flickr group - Mini Mania Challenge and New York Beauty was thier challenge for June - here are some of the results.

 And the Collection?

Ellen saw a post on Facebook regarding an organisation that collects new and gently worn bras that are sent out to African villages to improve hygiene and help prevent the rape of young girls, as wearing a bra in some villages is a sign of wealth, status and power.

If the bras are a bit tatty the metal and fabrics are recycled to raise money to but panties. Some of the girls have only one pair  or non whatsoever.

So..... 

We have made a "discreet" donation box  (some of you may be shy regarding size or lack of 😜 ...) for you to pop any unwanted Bras into and we will send them off in the next month or so.
