CSNW Meeting

Hello everyone
It was the June meeting for CSNW tonight & we were quite a small gathering as several people are on holiday - but we still had a good evening.

Tonight we made the large Window tag card - which everyone will gradually get to do, but I don't have any photos as they weren't finished.  They have promised to bring them back in August for me to see - as I will not be at their July meeting as I will be on holiday.

Only 22 more days to go!

One of the ladies brought in a poster about a series of craft days being run by Debbi Moore of Create & Craft fame & producer of many craft CD's & decoupage etc.  She is travelling around the country & is holding one in Wales not far from all of us.  Now the poster is in my club box so tomorrow I will get it out & post all the information here.  The date is Saturday 9 July.

Also today I have been with Helen from Mold II taking photos of her making a particular folded card - well photos of her hands.  This will be going on my personal blog first as a tutorial, then a copy being put on the tutorial page on this blog.  It is the instructions for the Art Deco card featured on the Hougie board - but the instructions are for those who do not have the Hougie board - even for anyone not having any sort of scoring board.

I have a crochet workshop tomorrow morning so must make sure I have everything ready.

Well that is me for tonight - more tomorrow. 

Sleep well.

Thank you ladies for sending them in - certainly very different styles today. So! - Last post? Over the last year or so all 3 clubs have been getting themselves sorted out in order to continue running the clubs from now on. Remember I announced in 2019 that I would be standing back at the end of 2020 & retiring.  I will of course keep in touch & visit the meetings now & again.  But it is now time for me to hang up my stamps.  Well not literally as I will still make cards - but you know what I meant. All 3 clubs now have the way forward sorted.  C

Jayne Nestorenko

Good morning I was informed this morning, by Rita of Mold II club, that Jayne Nestorenko had passed away on Saturday evening after a long illness. I suspect that there may be some amongst you who do not know of her - but many who do. I followed Jayne's work for a long time & many of those lovely large wooden stamps that were around came into my collection beause of her enthusiasm & creativity. I particularly enjoyed using, & held many workshops at Daleside, to show how to use the Treasure Box stamps which were very popular; I cannot now remember who made those stamps & there were different sizes & you made different shaped boxes according to how many pieces you stamped.  Then of course you also had the matching medallion stamp to place on the top of the box. The crafting world is saddened by the loss of this lovely lady. Sleep peacefully Jayne.
