I'd better warn OH - wouldn't want to scare him too much!

[Omletina Kyckling]

OK, I've pm'ed those of you who I think are coming with directions to my house, if anybody else is coming and needs directions, just let me know!

[Snowy]

I haven't had much time to craft lately so not sure what to bring. Was wondering if anyone fancies having a go at glass painting? I can provide the paints and some patterns, if people want to bring some glassware or acetate sheets to have a go on?

[Plum]

Snowy I would love to see your work and if possible have a go.

[Egluntyne]

I like the sound of that.

[Plum]

Can anyone sell me half a dozen eggs

[mostin]

Awww bless. I will bring you a gift of eggs from my girls xxxx

[Plum]

Thank you Elaine What time are you turning up? Is it the usual 5am start

[mostin]

Noooooooooo

 

look at the time I'm posting this!! I've had to be up at stupid o'clock today to set off for the Gargrave show.

 

What time will you all be surfacing at the cottage? What time do you want us there?

[Plum]

They'll probably be up all night gossiping so perhaps we'll get there and feed her chooks, stroke the cat and wake them up to sizzling bacon and orange juice

 

Good luck at the show

[Omletina Kyckling]

We should be up and about from about 9 so any time after that would be fab.....

 

We've already been muchly busy, we've built an Ikea desk and upholstered my window seat.....they are paying for their board!! Cathy Couperwife made the mistake of saying her degree was in engineering so I've had her sawing with a jigsaw, drilling holes in the wall etc!!

 

The gin and tonics are flowing well now....

[mostin]

Sorted, I'll be ready to admire all your efforts when I arrive

[Plum]

We better come in overalls then. See you in the morning.

No felting yet....so no dancing....no official karaoke but we are at the "Bat out of Hell" stage so we are all singing along!!

Lots of things being knitted and crocheted and some glass painting tomorrow.....we've already upholstered my window seat and it looks fab!!

[Omletina Kyckling]

.........ps Cathy made me a knitted bright green leaf and put it in my hair but it looked like somebody had sneezed in the back of my hair.........

[ClaireG]

Sounds like your having fun at cathy's leaf looking like you have snot in your hair. I think we need pics

[craftyhunnypie]

Are you up yet or hungover?

Dying to see some pics of all the fun going on there!

I am just back from my day of drinking tea, gossiping and of course..........crafting .

 

It is a lovely cottage Diane, and I hope we warmed it well for you. It was great to meet your mum and the rest of the usual gang plus a couple of people I had not yet met in "real life" before .

 

The puss cats were gorge too, and I hope Ludvig didn't mind being mauled by me every time I walked past him .

 

I had a go at glass painting today. We all sat outside in the sun and painted on jars and glasses. I am not artistic at all, but I really enjoyed it. It was really soothing to do, and we all went really quiet as we had to concentrate . thank you Snowy for bringing all the equipment for it.

 

Thanks for putting up with us all, and feeding us and supplying all the tea

 

I'll take a photo of my efforts soon and put it on here. I'm sure there will be other photos soon. We were all drooling over the quilts made by Plum, and Omletina was trying to nick Snowy's crocheted blanket .

[Plum]

Was a great day a real therapy. Good company, chooks, lovely location and chatter surrounded by more chickenalia than anyone can collect in a lifetime

 

No idea what Aimee is doing here She may have been inspecting her thong.

 

Diane's mum and Cathy (Couperwife) knitting leaves

 

The Artisan (Mostin)

 

The Artisan again and Egluntyne's bum

 

Snowy our tutor and Diane

 

I am ridiculously proud of my effort which was done by bodging

 

This lovely chook is settling in well with mine That sent Diane running down the garden

 

Thank you all for a great day

Thank you all so much for a lovely time - you were all so welcoming and helpful and I really enjoyed myself.

 

I was very impressed by your creative talents and can't wait to put some ideas into motion. I mabe the fatal error though of detouring via the local craft shop later on for a look......

 

Came away £38 lighter with a vast array of beads and (cough) thongs. I know what my department will be receiving this year as christmas gifts

 

Also picked up a cute sewing box to store above items and some gorgeous chicken ribbon, for which I have no ideas but couldn't resist. If needs be I'll just tie it in my hair.

 

 

Thanks again. I hope I behaved myself enough to be invited back.
