Kiri Cottage Craft Club Seashell Resin Art 4

Sharon Regan came along to Kiri Cottage Craft club this morning to run a seashell and resin workshop. It was very enjoyable, and a bit challenging to those like myself who had not painted anything since school!

We were all very pleased with how creative and professional our finished pictures looked. These photos are pre-resin – they will be ready tomorrow when the resin has hardened.
Highly recommended, and we will be checking out all the other workshops that Sharon delivers and book in for more!

We had patchwork at craft club this morning, and a lovely ‘show and tell’ piece of stitching – a row of houses ready to be framed.

I recently learned about ‘knitting thrums’, a way of adding extra warmth into gloves, hats, socks etc., and had plenty of time to work on a pair of thrummed mittens.

Great fun today with two lovely ladies, Ciara and Joanne.

They came for a therapeutic, social, craft day, and both learned to spin. And we developed knitting skills in the afternoon, mastering plain, purl and rib. Having said that, Joanne has knitted the past so it was more of a refresher!

Some knitting, crochet and weaving were the order of the day today.

Our next get together is Tuesday 16 January from 3 – 6pm.

I have had a request to look at how to use peg looms to make rag rugs. If you are interested in doing this, bring plenty of material that you can cut up into strips about 4-5cms wide. Old clothes, curtains, sheets etc.
And if you get hooked on doing this, check out Welsh Cottage by Zina 
 for supplies.

Karen furthered her spinning skills and learned to ply wool.

Margaret and Miriam brought their knitting – both producing small items for charity sales.

Jill brought crochet hooks and started on Granny squares.

I had some Valois black nose fleece that I had washed and dyed, ready to be carded and spun for a client. I was able to finish carding, and spun most of it. I will finish spinning it tomorrow.

Next open house craft club will be Thursday 7 December, 10am to 1pm. Tea, coffee and buns on tap. No charge just a voluntary spare change contribution to Equine Halfway House Rescue and Refuge, based in Lisburn.

Future dates:

Thursday 7 December, 10am – 1pm
