This weekend a group of lovely ladies came to my house, ranging from the age of six months to (ahem) years. We knitted, crocheted and sewed but we also ate, drank and cackled throughout.
There was an abundance of food brought; cakes, waffles, cheeses, biscuits, crisps, pate and a ton of white wine and prosecco.
Some of us had little or no experience of making stuff, others had some leftover to share. I learned a spot of crochet from Bridie, although by this stage my mental capability to take anything meaningful in was flagging (I blame the excitement… not the prosecco…)
My chum Fay made her first ever piped cushion! Her excitement and delight was awesome.
A few new recruits to the world of crafting….
Cocktails and crochet make for a fabulous combination, no?
Me keeping up with my Self-Stitched-September ’11 pledge!
Definitely (ahem) years. Lot’s of nice things to eat and drink. And wonderful women to stitch and witter with. And Joanne was the perfect host which is why she didn’t really have time to sit and learn crochet.
And those cocktails were delicious…. and lethal
Wow, this looks like so much fun! Wish I knew enough real-life crafters to give this a go ;o)
Marie I agree with you – how I wish my friends were in to crafts so that I could go to lovely get togethers like this! Looks like you had so much fun.
Really love your spotty blouse tucked in, looks lovely.
