programme work
Good evening everyone
Well I didn't get around to what I call "paper crafting" today after all. Paper crafting covers everything I do to do with paper, card & all the embellishments.
This morning I had another one of my crochet workshops - which is going very well - they have now learnt 4 stitches & how to make patterns from those stitches, shaping plus working in rounds as well as rows. Then during the afternoon I drove over to the Wirral to a shop I knew of to buy the Friendly Plastic for future club evenings, as this is a product we will be working with one evening very soon. Unfortunately they had stopped selling it, so it was back home to look for it on the Internet. Which I was able to do.
After that I spent time working on the next three months of your club programme, which I think I have sorted & must now get typed up. I will put it on the club pages as soon as it is ready & it will cover April, May & June. I have some "different" ideas & I think we are going to push the boundaries a little over the coming months. So I hope you will like the ideas I am coming up with.
Do I remember correctly that I mentioned a couple of days ago about buying one of the X-cut punches where you can cut borders, corners, squares, circles & ovals? Well I did buy one anyway, & when I came to try it out I couldn't punch holes in air! So Lesley at PBC tried it & agreed there was something wrong & exchanged it. Yesterday I went to use that one & couldn't get a result with that one either. I took it with me to the workshop this morning & Lesley tried it out again. Well she could not get it through the paper I had been trying with either. It was some scrapbook paper - not thick but not paper thin. But when we tried it on ordinary paper it worked well. So beware of some of these punches - because I am sure on Create & Craft they were using card & it worked wonderfully. I am quite happy for it to work with paper as I have ideas of using it like layering doilies - but initially it was a but disappointing.
Ooh yes, & I have had an email from Annette of Mold II confirming that it was her "Twinchie" featured on the Craft Stamper website. Well done Annette.
So, that's me for today - hopefully more tomorrow, although I have to take Bob to the Countess in the afternoon as he is having a small procedure carried out on one eye. So I am needed to drive him home afterwards.
Take care, & sleep well. Night night.
