Back to Craft!

By
After a long Summer break, The Craft Group is on again.


We had a lovely morning tea for everyone to enjoy while they enrol.
There was some crafty inspiration… (I'll show you Elly's wreaths in another post soon)




We had coffee, tea, yummy treats and little gifts.
Always little gifts!
Here is this year's "WELCOME" gift.
A snap lock bag containing...


A welcome message,


A little bag of seed raising mix soil. 25grams to be precise!


A little Christian message card, a paddle pop stick saying "Bizzie Lizzie" and a little packet of seeds*.


On the back of the welcome note is a list of the dates for The Craft Group this year and a poem which I will share below.


When Mum has to get something ready for The Craft Group, the family is usually involved. Annalee is happy to help packaging up the gifts while watching a DVD on her laptop.


Note… One ear peeping out of the ear phones because I kept saying things, even though I was trying to be quiet, not wanting to disturb my lovely helper!

Back to the gift… I said that if anyone manages to grow their little 'Bizzie Lizzie' seeds and takes a photo of them, they can have one term of The Craft Group half price!

There were many keen green thumbs after I said that!

Here is the link to the seed packet and the poem contained within the pack…



I reduced and printed out the seed packet template from the Yvestown blog here.

and here is the cute poem…

***Poem*** Plant three rows of peas:
Peace of mind Peace of heart Peace of soul
Plant four rows of squash: Squash gossip
Squash indifference Squash grumbling
Squash selfishness
Plant four rows of lettuce: Lettuce be faithful
Lettuce be kind
Lettuce be obedient
Lettuce really love one another
No garden should be without turnips:
Turnip for meetings
Turnip for service
Turnip to help one another
Water freely with patience and cultivate love
There is much fruit for your garden Because you reap what you sow.
To conclude our garden We must have thyme: Thyme for God
Thyme for study Thyme for prayer Thyme for each other Thyme for friends

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

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.
