So what did you all do then?! Do you create group projects or just go about your crafty business with some nice chat and tea? Pictures of finished works from the day maybe?

I'm sad I missed out but still ever so curious!

Edit: oops! just saw your last post, tabbed browsing is my downfall, will be keeping an eye out for that write up for sure

Smooth Hound

where shall i start

i know

from the beginning

i didnt actually get here till 5 mins before the first arrival. so firstly id like to thank my son j, who on hearing my panic on the phone

, came round and spent 2 hrs tidying the living room

.
ill mention people in order of appearance/arrival

firstly julie and dale, julie bought her spinning wheel, and showed her spinny thing, im not sure of the name of what she was doing, hopefully she will tell us a bit on it on here

, thanks julie.
dale bought her paints and brushes and a wine bottle box, which she painted in folk art, it is to be a bird feeder

, she also made me realise that all the flowers dont have to be the same, and in fact they shouldnt be

thats folk art. thanks dale.
andy for bringing along his hat he made and other bits, hopefully

he will tell us about them

monkey nuts, who seemed to be settling into the spinning wheel very well, i hope you enjoyed yourself,

maria and carrot lover ,who was obviously born to be an artist, theres no question there, i thought your folk art was cracking,

hope you enjoyed yourself.
and maria, for taking over the t making

thanks your a star.
and then theres me, who would never have got my peaduck

done had you not of all come

seriously i really enjoyed myself

thats it folks

kimmie

sounds like you had a lot of fun SH, am glad it went well

Maria

T'was a fab night as always. Thanks for hosting again SH - I know this time was tricky for you!!

The spinning was called navajo plying. It allows you to turn a single ply (on one bobbin) into a 3 ply. Lovely technique that I'll be trying at home - thanks for the demo Julie. The folk art was amazing. I loved your teapot Dale. Reminds me of the wonderful canal barge deco. Could do with a picci really, words don't do it justice at all.

Was great to meet everyone again - and Monkey Nuts

for the first time. Andy - good luck with Sat the craft fair! If anyone's by Peterhead go and have a peek at Andy's crafts...loved the driftwood keyrings.

Smooth Hound

just found one of your drift wood key rings andy, there good arent they

glowingsunsets

Awwww just got back from a week away and there's no photo's to enjoy

(

Ina

Missed again.

Ah well. That's the problem with not being able to go online regularly... Nevermind!

Smooth Hound

just a thought, but if there is anyone that is likely to miss it like ina, because of not being online all the time etc, then if you pm me your no, then i will make sure you are kept up to date

or if you are concerned about giving your no out, then i will pm you mine, and you can phone me and check whats happening

monkey nuts

Thanks SH for hosting last night, I had a fab time.

Thank you Julie for showing us the navajo plying, I'll be making wool sausages again as soon as I spin a lttle more fleece

Thanks also to Dale for sharing her talent for folk art with us all, can't wait to try some on my flower vases... incidentally SH, do you have anything left that we didn't paint..LOL..remember, your vans next

It was lovely to meet up with Andy again, loved the woolies and the key rings.

Carrot lover is such a good artist, how jealous am I. Loved the cup. Last but not least is mad.. I mean Maria

Brill to meet you too

Dale

Thank you everyone for a fab evening, lovely to meet you monkeynuts and your cake was yummy also carot lover I am looking forward to the art classes with you and your mum. Thanks again SH for hosting .
Good luck Andy with the stall on Sat. I was very impressed with the key rings I think they should sell well.
Thanks Julie for sharing yet another skill with us I like the way you make it look so easy

What are we doing next month ?

Maria

Dale

That sounds good, I have a book on painting on bamboo and rice paper so I could maybe bring that along too Chinese painting is great fun.

Lisa

Is that the re-vamped and re-located farmers market at Peterhead on saturday that Andy is going to? I will do my best to get along, I know it is in a hall somewhere instead of Drummers corner but does anyone know exactly where please? I'm sorry I missed the last meeting as well I will try and make the next one.
Lisa.
