We had really good fun at craft club this morning. Karen has finished her beautiful crochet blanket, all bar sewing in a few ends; Sharon is progressing with her weaving project and Jane with her embroidery; and Margaret and Miriam are knitting hats and jumpers.
I did a sample woven paper plate for my class at Ards Arts centre this evening.

We made fairy bell charms at Craft Club this morning. I love seeing all the different ideas coming from one group!
This is a lovely workshop to run. Everyone can use their imagination about colours, fabrics, and charms, bells and beads and we definitely always have great craic!
There was a great variety of projects on the go this morning at the craft club. We had Karen’s fabulous crocheted blanket, complete all bar the pom-poms, card making, knitting squares for charity blankets and spinning.
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!
Kiri Cottage Crafts Club on 18 June 2024 will be a workshop with Sharon Regan Art. We will be working with seashells and resin – see photo below. Cost is £10 and the workshop will run from 10am – 1pm.
Today I spun some of my own hand-dyed wool. This was dyed using Kraftcolour Landscape dye in both Teal and Fern.
Next meeting dates are:
Tuesday 27 February 10am – 1pm
Tuesday 12 March 10am – 1pm

We had patchwork at Kiri Cottage craft club this morning, and a lovely ‘show and tell’ piece of stitching – a row of houses ready to be framed.
This afternoon we worked with peg looms, to create sample rag rugs. Really quick, easy and effective way to do produce pretty rugs with the added advantage of recycling old clothes, curtains, bed linen and any other scraps of materials in your stash!
