Thankfully from there on in it was great fun starting off with lots of chit chat and coffee with old friends and new. Then it was time for the lovely and very talented Moira from Revamp to give us all a demo on how to make your own lampshades....
After a yummy lunch it was time for the workshops to get going...the super talented Anne was teaching a sewing workshop making this fabulous patchwork shabby chic cushion with a chenille technique on the centre panel...
isn't it gorgeous...another project running around in my head...two cushions and a panel for my bed...crikey when am I going to find time for all these home make-overs and I was so gutted that I couldn't join these happy stitchers...
because for the third and definitely the final time...I was teaching my Snowflake Hanger and Cracker Box workshop and well done to all the lovely snowflakers who joined me...almost all were stamping embossing and distress ink virgins but they all stepped up to the plate and did a great job...
it's a standing joke at Simply Create that my workshops always run over time...probably because of Mrs Chatterbox with the big mouth...who ME...hey who's watching the clock when you're having fun but this time I cracked the whip...kept my mouth shut and we crossed the line with time to spare...well done girls. And I am mightily relieved that this project is now yesterday's news...been consigned to the annals of history forever and on it's way to the crafty bin in the sky.
Have you noticed my Timmie Sleep Countdown is now into double figures...oh yes only 98 more sleeps until I am finally crafting with the King of Distress...the Prince of Grunge...the Master himself and for someone who is always praying for more hours in a day...in this case forget that old moan...wish I could click my fingers and it was here. Catch up with you all tomorrow for a sneaky peek and a question I hope someone can help me with.

Hi Kath
ReplyDeleteThank goodness you were OK (and the cyclists), good job you were paying attention to the road!
Loving those lampshades and cushions, wish I knew how to thread up a sewing machine let alone use one lol!

Firstly, Im so pleased you were safe after your 'close shave' on the road. Impatience is just a disaster waiting to happen!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab set of photos Kath, thanks so much for sharing them all with us, I'd have loved to have been able to attend both of those classes. There's just nothing at all like it here in Southampton.
It was a real trip down memory lane seeing the lampshades, I remembered thoroughly enjoying needlecraft classes at school - possibly coz it was the only thing I was actually good at:/ Im looking forward to seeing your festive shade!
