Ladies In Lavender & the Eiffel Tower......

The Sunnybank craft group led by Susan made LAVENDER SATCHETS today.

 Using a plain envelope, a butterfly stamp and gel pens members coloured in the butterfly.

Here's Lily making a satchet for her friend

Mrs Shaw helping with Harold's satchet

Next up we pricked holes in the envelopes and put in a couple of tablespoons of lavender before sealing them on the back.  We added a bit of sellotape to make it more secure.

Harold did one for his lady friend Peggy who lives in Blackpool. We all laughed as the little animal stickers he put on said "Take me home" and "Cuddle me".  Wonder what Peggy will think of that.  Harold is in his 80's.

Pat, one of the care assistants, helped Mona make hers so I quickly made one for her with a Doodly Bird on.

 

Along with Susan's factoids on SUMMER it was another great session.  Im not sure that I believe the one she told us about the Eiffel Tower being taller in Summer than in Winter.  I will leave that one with you.

Jam Jars & Coasters

 Last time at the Sunnybank Day Centre craft group we covered jam jars with torn tissue paper, napkins and fabric.  Some members used them to put flowers in, others pens and pencils.

 This week we did a favourite craft of making coasters using cut up pictures out of magazines.

 The results are always great.

Send for the therapist

 My sister asked if I need counselling

 after I sold all these pieces

 over the weekend.

She knows I am not good at parting with things I've made.

Friday catch up.......

The lovely weather led to a trip in my 10 year old VW beetle

 to our 15 year old static caravan up in the Lake District

where we had a wonderfully relaxing time.

Once back home it was time for a tidy and rearrange of the studio. Just in time before visitors arrived and bought this for their holiday home in Whitby.

 Dont be fooled by all the work on the wall some of it needs finishing.
