Another year has ended

By
Well, the year hasn't ended yet but 'The Craft Group' has ended for the year.
We had our Annual Christmas Brunch and again it was such a lovely morning.
Craft. Sharing yummy food. Singing a few carols! Hearing Lydia share about "Grace". Lovely memories of 2014. And presents!
Here we are in our final craft frenzy...


 The table was filled with goodies Check out Georgina's reindeer biscuits at the front and Elly's paint swatch bunting which went around the table.


 Our table centre piece was also by Elly and was won by Lyn D who was happy to take home a cute instant Christmas decoration.


Gifts! This year we had Elzanne as the 'Gift Creative Director'! (again- yay)
We all received a 2 year planner/diary. I have the technology to keep a digital diary but I keep coming back to a real one in my bag at all times. The front of the diary has Hebrews 4:16 on it. A great reminder throughout the year.

"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of Grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
[from WORD bookstore]
Elzanne wrapped the diaries and some other goodies in these bags with pretty paper doily trees and sparkly gold thread. She made up all 65 bags! 

 

It was such a lovely morning! 
Happy Christmas everyone and God Bless you in the New year!
I will fill the gap of no Craft Group gatherings with more regular posts on this blog to share some of the things I said I would show off but never have!
Watch this space!

Mini Christmas crocheted stockings by Mandy - Free Pattern

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.

Lantern making... a craft for kids

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.

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
