Holiday Bible Club

By
We are almost at the end of a 2 week winter holiday.
In the first week our church ran our annual Holiday Bible Club.
A great week of working together as a church family to provide a fun place for kids to come and hear about the best news they could ever hear.
So it was very fun and very worthwhile.



Here is one little idea I'd like to share.
As each child registered at our "Jungle Jamboree" HBC, they received a "Jungle Survival Pack".




Inside was a chatterbox all made up, with all the questions written on it already. An instant game.
Then there was a find-a-word puzzle made using words relating to our HBC.
Then there was the little pack of real jungle survival nutrition... monkey poo, killer baby snakes and a giant spider egg*. That was a huge hit with the kids.
Then there was some info about our church and an invitation to join us and check out our church website.
Oh and a packet of Scoobie doo biscuits.

Some lovely volunteers, Carla, Ria, Daniel and his Mum, Sue helped put 200 packs together. (thanks all!)
(*chocolate coated sultanas, snake lollies and a Mentos lolly.)

It's back to normal routine this week! I've packed this lovely lady into a suitcase again for a while. Poor dear.

These cute little Christmas stockings were made by Mandy. There was no real pattern to follow so we worked it out easily enough by sharing crochet know how and made little stocking decorations until they were everywhere. Wil and Bev G made a heap! Here are some pictures and a pattern! A pentagon granny square folded in half to make a little stocking. Make them in whatever colour you like! Add some sparkle :) or a bell on the toe! Put a few sweets, a roll of mints or a roll of cold hard cash inside, hang them on the Christmas tree and you will be popular. Click "read more" below for the pattern.

Mitred Granny Squares by Janice

A project a day! I have so many photos of lovely things which have not yet appeared here on the blog. So, I am featuring a new craft item every day for 2 weeks, all made by ladies at The Craft Group. To continue… Project 5: Mitred Granny Squares by Janice Crocheted Granny Squares are in again and, as with all come-backs, there are clever variations. These mitred* squares are eye catching and can look stunning depending on the colours used. Janice made this green one which has a lovely 3D effect made by her use of various tones of graduating greens. It looks stunning in a whole finished rug. (*also spelt 'Mitered', depending on where you live).  Janice is then working on some other squares using bright coloured stripes, giving the finished product a completely different look. Nice work Janice! If you are feeling inspired, I found a lovely tutorial on how to do this version of a Granny Square. Click HERE to go to the "Crochet Again" b...

By

The school holidays are nearly over. Some kids have one more week. Why not get creative and make some pretty lanterns to hang in your bedroom? (Caitlin and Ryan... if you make one and take a photo, I'll put it on the blog!) A teacher at school made these with her grade 3 class.  I was the photographer, so I captured the pictorial step-by-step instructions.
