just chatting

Hi everyone - sorry, I am afraid it is a just chatting post this time.  It really should have been a post about last nights Mold II meeting, but I have had a pretty busy day with preparation, (making sure I have everything I need), for a rubber stamping workshop tomorrow morning, & some research for an upcoming crochet workshop - they want to see something very different.  This means that I ran out of time to sort the photos.  So I will do that tomorrow - I promise.

But that said - it was an excellent evening.  Dawn was our visitor & I have described her as the lady who demonstrates for Lily of the Valley stamps but of course she is more than that & she gave us a great insight into her background.

For this meeting I did remember to take my camera - but was so engrossed in Dawn's demonstration about colouring that although I had asked her if she minded photos being taken - I forgot to take them.  But some were taken later.

So once again apologies Mold II ladies but they will be here tomorrow.

Before I go I must say a big thank you to Elizabeth who spoilt us last night with a choice of 2 cakes for our break.  Very nice it was too.  Thank you Elizabeth.

That's me for tonight - almost time for my bed - more tomorrow afternoon after my rubber stamping workshop.

'Night night - sweet dreams.

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.
