A couple of days ago, Heleen and I hosted the first Lucky Penny Crafty Club. It was great to be able to host a gathering of crafters (or so to speak). It is nice to make up the rules (ok there arent any rules, but I just like saying that).I'm in a little bit of project overload, so I've decided to list, just for the sake of listing:- Bridesmaid dress x1- my sister is getting married soon, and I'm a bridesmaid. For lack of anything suitable to wear, I've decided to make a dress. Simple and stylish is all that is needed.
- Gift for aforementioned wedding- a gift that will have to be kept a secret at the moment. But when complete (and post wedding) I shall show you.
- Borders on the blanket- my endless project, a luxe yet homespun looking (bed-size, not knee-size) patchy blanket; presently on hold as my wool supply has run out.
- The new jewellery project- thankfully I can only work on this in class time. I'm making a hair-comb with a large turquoise stone set into it. Very mermaid-y.
- The scarf from bad wool- a multicoloured scarf from a kind of yucky acrylic wool. Knitting for the sake of knitting...
- Additional extras- a barely started painting, new things for craft fairs, and I've been wanting to make a matryoscka doll softie (but think I will leave that for Lucky Penny time)
...Is that all???
It has been a little long in the planning, lots of emails, phonecalls and checking out venues, but the Lucky Penny Crafty Club is here! The lovely Heleen from ruby in the dust and I have created a crafter's night held at the cozy Mezze Bar in Auckland Central. Feel free to bring you craft-of-the-moment into town to hang out with other like-minded crafty types. We are busy setting up a blog, which is a little work in progress-y at the moment, but hope to include updates on events and happenings in Auckland craft-land.The first Lucky Penny will be held on the 4th August from 7.30pm, so I hope to see you there! All for coffee,cake and craft I say!
One day I spotted this parade of horses on my niece's table... I especially like the rebellious (or confused)horse facing the wrong way. I do have many things to post about, but not today. And I expect time to slip so far by that it is almost not worth posting about...
