It's all Happening... All Day Craft Day 2015

By
It's a busy place here at home.

Our 23 year old son, the builder, started a new job after ten months of rehab from Kienbocks disease (a wrist problem). Yay. He loves being back in a routine and I love watching him having a purpose to getting up each morning!
I could write a book about how wonderful it is to see your kids face God straight on in their challenging times and come through the other end realising God is real and can be trusted.
But I don't have the time.

Our other son, the nurse (or murse as they sometimes say) turned 21. That is a big deal around here. We had a party here at home with about 90 people I think. Fun times!
I could write a book about how knowing God in a real and personal way makes such a difference to young people - as I saw in a group of 90 kids who had fun without having to get drunk or go crazy.
But I don't have the time.

Our 17 year old daughter turned 18 and also graduated from High School! We went out with the family for dinner to celebrate. No more kids at school! After 21 years of being a School Mum, I need to rejig my identity a bit. But that is OK. I look forward to the next season of life.
I could write a book about our 21 years of school life.
But I don't have time.

Sometimes you just have to set aside time to do things.
And on that note...

This Saturday is an "All Day Craft Day" for the ladies who come to The Craft Group. (26 Sept)
From 9am until 6pm.
I have already prepared some crafts I want to bring along to get a move on with.
A quilt I am nearly finished quilting and some hexagon crochet blocks I am working on.
For the local ladies... see you there!

Mini Christmas crocheted stockings by Mandy - Free Pattern

By

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...

Lantern making... a craft for kids

By
Image
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.
