Down the Lane

Cannot believe our craft group has been running for well over a year. It is a year since we also joined Yorkshire Countrywomen's Association.

Up till now we've done a wide range of crafts - we've made rag rugs, painted ceramics, knitted little items, crocheted flowers, sewn miles of bunting for our village hall, made beauty products, made handbags out of t-shirts and old shirts, had various sewing projects making pin cushions, door stops, etc. At the moment we having a go and upholstering old pieces of furniture, which is proving to be fun. We average about 10-12 members a session.

Anyway, I've started a little blog it's early days so sure it will improve as time goes on.

Here is the link:http://adwickcraftgroup.blogspot.co.uk/

Hope this is OK to share this with folk here.

Well done Bluebell, your group sounds amazing. Is it really a year since you posted on here about starting it, time goes too quickly

Some of the ladies come for a natter and a cuppa with the group they now consider to be good friends with.

We had a trip to a little threatre production a few months ago and it was a really enjoyable occasion. Having a day trip to Holmfirth soon to have a look around and to go and raid a fabric wholesalers!

Going to have a cuppa in Last of the Summer Wine cafe

Such a great achievement to get something of the ground and keeping it running. I really wish we had something like that where I live. It must be lovely to share a hobby with like people and it does keep you motivated.
Good luck for the future of your group.

Same as you June, wish we had a craft group round here as well. I`d love to learn how to do quilting. Will definitely be following your blog bluebell

How lovely that it is doing so well - our little crochet group is still going (just) but it's a struggle! Shame really, but there you are.

Good luck with your blog

Had a look at your blog Bluebell, added it to my favourites.

Thank you, hun.

Helen, the main thing is that you are doing it - when we started the craft group we said we'd give it three weeks, as not a lot of people get involved with small village. I think what the ladies of our group enjoy is that we are all learning new crafts together - we are a down to earth bunch of people, sometimes we have done things which haven't gone according to plan and we have laughed about it - and had a cuppa and a slice of cake - things are never wrong then, are they.

I'm going to add a blogroll to the blog and put DTL on.
