Hi Everybody
Got a feeling this is going to be a
bit of a long newsletter, so much to talk about.......mind you, you have been
lucky just recently, only a few very quick newsletter. Going to make up
for it now, so go make a cuppa and put your feet up. That is what I am
doing!!
I hope you are all fit and well and
you have enjoyed a good summer break.....despite the best that the weather
could bring you!!
You will all be pleased to hear that
GC and I are comfortably (??) settled into our new house. It has
taken all year to get from putting the house on the market to moving
in. As they say, all good things come to those that wait.
And as this picture shows Buzz
and Kite did not take too long to get settled - although they were told that
they were not allowed onto the new furniture and that is why they are looking
very sheepishly at the camera. Kite then thought he could get around it
by rounding up the cushions and making a cosy bed with them, technically then
he is not really sleeping on the sofa - he is sleeping on the cushion!!
hmmm.....call me soft, but guess
where they are sleeping right at this moment as I type? I will give you
a clue, it is not on the floor!!
The work is progressing on the
house. The kitchen should be up and running by tomorrow, the bathroom
by the end of the week. Just need to get GC working on the tiling and
they will be done. Then the wardrobes get fitted (hooray!) and I will
be able to find my clothes!! Perhaps then, also, I will be able to get
back to doing some playing with my craft stuff when I am at home. We
will see, as they say - all good plans....
In the meantime we are getting our head
back into gear here at the shop and, guess what? We have FINALLY sorted out
the Autumn Workshop Brochure.
I know that it is late this term, that
is my fault - I had so much happening and could not work out what dates for
when, where or how. Now it has been done and here is the link for your
copy:
I have just been taking a look at it
and there are some changes to the workshops so, if you are used to coming to
one of the regular classes, make sure you check out the details. I will
point out some of the details:
Firstly, Cate's Scrapbooking Class has
been moved from Tuesday evening to Wednesday afternoon. The price
of the class includes all materials, you just need to bring your
photos. Cate will give you an idea of the photos that you
will be working on prior to each class.
Please note that Cate's Crop in October
will be on the 20th not the 27th.
Beading with Ruth - this group is a
self-organising group, not actually run by us. As you know, I have
closed the Bead and Wool shop but the Ladies that were coming for the
beading class still wanted to meet up. They now organise themselves and
are charged just for the use of the room. If you are interested in
joining them, please give me a call.
Nicky's Promarker Challenge Club is
still on the first Saturday of each month and the one on the 6th of October
will be featuring Christmas colouring in. A must for this season.
Be careful with my Saturday Home Decor
classes. Because of various shows that I am having to go to, I am
having to re-organise some of my classes. Sorry about that. I am
still doing the Wednesday afternoons. If anybody is interested in me
running the odd evening, let me know - if I get enough interest I will sort
something out.
On the workshop schedule we have
allowed for 3 Christmas special days. The 13th October will be
decorating a wooden Advent calendar similar to this one:
More details should be out next
week.
Also, next week should see the
arrival of all of our Christmas papers and they will be a joy to
behold. We have got the latest Kaisercraft offerings and they are
delicious. Taken together with the beautiful Wild Rose Studio Christmas
stamps AND the Woodware stamps that Nicky has chosen, this is going to be a
gorgeous traditional season. Here is just a taster:
Now, the final thing for today is
THE COACH TRIP to
the NEC in November!!
If you would like to click on this
link:
you should be taken through to the page
on our website that has all the details. So give us a call and book
your place.
Currently we have 10 spaces left - so be quick.
Looking forward to seeing you all again and getting that Christmas crafting
going.
With best wishes
from Lynn and the Girls.
