Craft Summer School

It's been a resounding success and we will find a way to keep it all going.
Thank you to everyone who came along, got stuck in and made some amazing craft. 

You loved.......

the fantastic choice of materials
space to work in
mooching in the shop
making whatever you wanted
not having to worry about the mess
making robots, castles, cars, pets, cards, pictures, bracelets, flowers ...

So, what next? Ghoul School happens on Saturday 27th October. Be sure to book as places at both sessions are limited. Until then we will try and keep the scrap school set up and offer the space to groups or for craft parties.

Make and Take Away will be at Hobbycraft Hereford

on Sunday 30th September 11 - 3 demonstrating how to get started with feltmaking and needle felting. Come along and say hello, it's all free.

Yarn bomb update

Well, one week on and no word back from the Council. I think they may have gone into risk assessment meltdown over the whole issue and I'm carrying on regardless as the whole event is going to happen. Besides which I have it on good authority that it has reached the ears of our most Senior Police Officer and he liked the idea - provided we didn't cover up any road signs. As if.

This week has seen a steady stream of customers to the shop asking for instructions about what is needed for the yarn bomb. Not sure where they are call coming from but it seems to be the brigade who rose the the challenge of making 2,000 scarves for penguins for the Rotary Club fundraiser last year. Great to recruit these lovely ladies and looking forward to the amazing work of art that will grace the end of West Street come Friday 12th October.

We have been joking about knitting a set of handcuffs and a ball & chain, just in case ...

Anyone got a pattern?
