Omletina Kyckling Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I've had a thought!! It doesn't happen very often so I thought I'd share it with you....as so many of us like craft and making things, wouldn't it be great if some of us could get together for a weekend some time? Obviously once we are into warmer times! I'm not sure what hubby would think, but we have a big, old house and I could put up quite a few people if anybody wanted to come and spend the weekend and make things!! You could bring whatever project you wanted to work on and as we all have different skills, we could learn new things!! I have four spare bedrooms (five actually, but hubby has taken one over as a car spares room ) here, plus several giant sofas so could put up quite a few people....we could have a barbecue on the Saturday night or something too!! Big garden if anybody wanted to bring a tent? Sound good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 If after March, count me in - it sounds brilliant! We have 2 caravans..a little one & a medium one - whatever you have room for, or we could go on a nearby caravan site! I'd love it.

Guest Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Sounds like somthing I'd like to be in on if the date is right. You'd have to put me down for a sofa or something though because I DON'T do camping! (I would rather pull out my own fingernails!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Laughing my socks off at you Pengy. Do you realise how luxurious caravans are these days? They have real showers in a separate actual bathroom not a squash in cubby hole, beautiful wood cupboards, comfy beds, lovely soft furnishings, fancy kitchens, blown air heating, fancy fridge freezers, microwaves. Some are nicer than some houses! Honest, I'm not telling porkies! No boiling kettles for hot water or gas lights these days & no drips on your head in the night! We also like hotels, but our caravan is luxury enough for us as well. You make me giggle Pengy! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kez Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 What a great idea. I'd also love to learn how to crochet. I knit, sew, make cards and jewelery but never had the chance to crochet. I wonder if I'd be aloud to escape for the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 That's an amazingly generous and fabulous idea Omletina! I'd be up for it. I have a tent if room is stretched! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 ......sounds like a plan then for warmer times! I have four spare bedrooms, each has a kingsize bed, so if people were willing to "bunk up" we could fit a fair few in. three of the bedrooms have sofas in them so people could sleep on those also, and I have a couple of large sofas in the lounge. We have room for tents in the garden (if you don't mind marauding cats, and of course, chickens!) plus room for a caravan or two I should think (although reversing in and out of our gates isn't easy as the entrance has a twist to it!) - I'm sure if I asked the farmer nicely he'd let people put caravans in the farmyard in front of us! Do people have preferences as to months/dates? I would have thought spring/summer would be best! We never go anywhere so are available pretty much any time!

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 That sounds like a lot of room! You could end up with so many of us it could end up as Omletstock! Like Woodstock, but with no music and more knitting needles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 School hols are probably easier for me as there are no clubs to leave a huge list of manoeuvres for DH to deal with Sha x DD is reading this over my shoulder & wants to know if she can come too...! OOOOPs, had to edit that, I typed DS instead of DD & she's up the wall!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Has the chance that my DD would like to attend put everybody off commenting on this thread........ She's very nice, but I'd quite like a weekend for me so would leave her with DH....unless anyone else would like to meet her?! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'm fairly sure she would be more than welcome Sha, but she might get a bit bored with a lot of craft and chicken chatting women! And it would be nice for you to have a bit of time to yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 It would actually be her idea of heaven - crafting of various types, chooks and cats for when she's less interested.....or being ignored more to the point and no big brother to annoy her!! She's also quite grown up & can hold her own in any conversation regarding a chook! I have told her it's a Mummy's weekend only though Daddy can find something to entertain her!!

Ms Marple Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 What about real novices? I do knitting and sewing. Used to make the boys' clothes when they were little and somehow I had time - yet ironically I wouldn't know where to start now, although secret santa helped a bit to remind me. Some of you lot sound soo clever in this arena. I too would like to crotchet. Not sure really that my skills are good enough to help others apart from the fact that I can folllow a knitting pattern!
