Whitby - Saturday afternoon

The craft workshop was a runaway success, I was so so pleased with it all. We have new people in the village and they all came along to meet each other. We are meeting every Thursday night and people are keen to continue after Christmas. I didn't take my camera but will do at the next meeting - and will put details up from the worksheets I am producing to run alongside the practical workshops.


This afternoon we nipped over to Whitby, I was quite excited at the prospect of looking in the shops for Christmas ideas - but I was ddisappointed! What did I buy? A book from the charity shop "Raising an adopted Greyhound" no no no ideas - it is for my Mother in law.

 

The sky was nice however on the way home!

Wednesday!

I daren't show a photograph of my desk right now - well you would not be able to see it in any case. It is absolutely piled high with paper, card, fabrics - infact you name it - it will be somewhere in the pile.
Tomorrow night I start my Handmade Christmas Workshop over the road in our village hall.

"A weekly get together to prepare for Christmas. Over the weeks leading to Christmas we will make Personalised Christmas Cards, Table Decorations, Christmas Crackers, Fun hats, Wreaths, Decorations to name but a few. The night will be a funtime but together we will tackle the task of Christmas Preparation in a cost effective and fun way. "

I have posted a few flyers in the village and amongst my friends - it looks as though there will be about 20 of us, each Thursday night....well let's face it, I am not all that busy am I? lol!

Watch this space!

Q is for Question.....

In our QUEST to re-vamp our house we went looking at carpets.....well when I say WE LOOKED it would be more accurate to say I DRAGGED Jon into the carpet showroom!
Question - "Do you like looking at carpets?"

I was first into the showroom (no surprises there) and noticed a carpet which caught my eye. On entering the shop, Jon walked over to where I was standing (bearing in mind there were several rolls of carpet on display) and pointing to the one I had earmarked announced "That one - I really like that one!" Once I had come round we did a calculation and left the shop to talk it over.
We are not ready for the carpet yet - the plasterer can not come until 28th November - but I did have a colour in mind! (wait and see!).....any ideas?
We returned the following day and put a deposit on the carpet - I was convinced the world and his wife wanted the same colour! lol!

Now - answering queries about our church - here are some photographs of the inside - I am sure you will agree it is a typicl quentesentialyl british church - notice the norman arch!
