Busy Fingers

When I was recently asked by Barbara from church, to co-ordinate a thanksgiving service and display some beautiful craft work, little did I realise what it would lead to. Years ago, I used to do sooooo much craft work. I knitted, I sewed and crocheted, I worked on papercraft etc but I had packed it all away thinking those days were over. 

Well as a result of seeing Muriel Rabbit's beautiful craft work when I was displaying it for an afternoon, I renewed my own love of craft. Wanting to share this with others I decided to create a "Busy Fingers" group through Ryde Methodist Church Several of us meet together and work on different crafts while we have a good chat. I made a clown for my youngest grandaughter for Christmas.

Of course Granny being granny, I decided to let the twins choose a clown each so am now part way through Bertie Bloomer.

The Busy fingers group is newly formed and the idea is that we come together for frienship while we craft. Some people will work on their own projects and some will make and sell items for charity. One thing that is certain is that we will have fun fun fun!! Especially when I start knitting sausages and sandwiches!!

Monica and Kay are busy busy! Kay was making cards and Monica was making flags for the Burns Night Supper tables.

 while Julie started some cross stitch work.

I am sure the group will grow but it doesn't matter how many attend as we will have a good time and raise some money for charity.
