Book in your husbands for babysitting duties....

Yes, its time for our 1st Sunday Craft Day so leave your little ones at home and come prepared for some serious craft & chatter!

WHEN
Sunday 28th June 10am - 3pm.

WHERE
Sydney's lovely northern beaches...please email for address details!

WHAT TO BRING:
- project to start or work on and all of your supplies. We have room for sewing machines, lots of floor space to cut etc etc. I think I'll do a bit of sewing and probably spend the last hour doing some crochet....you don't have to bring your sewing machine - just whatever you'd like to work on!

- something to share for lunch - a plate of sandwiches, cold quiche, frittata or something sweet. Let me know what you're bringing so I can make sure we've got a bit of everything. Don't go overboard....this is not masterchef!

- $10 to cover room hire and refreshments (coffee, tea, cold drinks, LOLLIES & CHOCOLATE and morning tea)! Any money left over will be saved for our next craft day!

- a small gift (fabric, trim, pattern, something you've made, something from your stash) to the value of $10 which we'll exchange! Don't go overboard!!!!

RSVP
If you would like to come & join us, just drop me an email to retromummy@gmail.com and we'll count you in.

Fran's finished item


Wow, my very first post - ever!

I thought I'd post a photo of the scarf I finished off at The Craft Room last month.

A lovely green number, perfect for this Autumn cold snap we're having here in Sydney. The pattern is from The Happy Hooker by Debbie Stoller. I found it very easy to follow and the scarf was very quick to work up, I finished it in just two nights. I used a 100% wool yarn and it took less than a 100g ball to complete the scarf!
Just the kind of quick project I love for that absolute satisfaction you get from finishing a project.
