QUARTERLY CRAFTERNOONS GATHERING, JUNE 2015

Well, it came.................and it went, just like that! In a blur of felt, soapy bubbles, yarn, threads and fabric, cake and tea, yet another fantastic gathering of crafty folk and this was the best attend one to date.

The Upper Yarra Arts Centre, Mechanics Hall was packed to the rafters and I was buzzing all day. Lots of new and familiar faces passed through the doors this day and everyone left with a smile.

A huge thank you goes to our workshop facilitators who give so much of themselves for these events. All in the name of craft, skills sharing and networking. Thank you to the staff at the Upper Yarra Arts Centre who are so helpful in setting up the way we need and being there throughout the day to help make things run smoothly.  Thank you, thank you.

HAPPY CRAFTING

QUARTERLY CRAFTERNOONS MARCH 2015 CATCH UP...EEKKKKK!

MARCH 2015

I have to say I make absolutely no apologies for posting updates as late as I do. Honestly 2 jobs, 2 kids and a household to run feels like I work full-time and I try not to do computer stuff when I am with my kids. SO here I am, nearly 3 months later and this is what happened in March! I know you will forgive me because honestly, we are all a bit busy like that, aren't we?
