These lovely ladies joined me for an Introduction to Crochet workshop last week.

Learning how to make these handy little baskets they now have the knowledge to complete them at home and left a with an arm full of supplies to create more!

Their crochet journey has certainly started! 😄🧶

My next Introduction to Crochet workshop is on Friday 25th September, who’s joining me?

What a wonderful workshop with these ladies!

It did turn out a little warm (it was a very hot day last week) but these sunflowers didn’t wilt and will certainly stay fresh for a long time. Aren’t they amazing?!

We did giggle over a couple of Calendar Girl photos shots 😂 but then took more!

If you can’t wait until our next workshop on 29th October why not have one if our kits and make some at home. Each kit comes with materials to make 6 sunflowers and with full instructions, you just need scissors and a hot glue gun. Check out our website for details.

When two friends living miles apart visit each other, they also enjoy crafty time together learning new skills.

They came to a Silver Clay workshop last week to made beautiful silver jewellery (see previous posts) and whilst at the barn bought two of my kits. They then spent more crafty time together making these beautiful Deco Mesh & Ribbon Wreaths ready for Christmas.

Wonderful memories were made and everytime they look at their jewellery and wreaths, they will remember their summer holiday together.

Our Deco Mesh & Ribbon Wreath kits can be found on our website. They also make impactful table decorations with a flame safe candle added. Choose Christmas or Spring/Summer, we also have some autumnal/halloween colours available on request. If you prefer crafting with others, come to a workshop on 23rd October or 21st November and craft along with us.
