Plenty of yawns this afternoon, but a sense of achievement following our successful Exhibition weekend. I was ever so proud of our Committee and Members, not to mention our friends and the community.
Those latch hook cushions are still being worked on... and will be for a while. One member has given hers away to someone else to complete as, in her own words, “she hated it so much”. We had another new project being worked on today as well, one which hadn't seen the light of day for a great number of years, it was an embroidery project and it will be amazing when it is finished.
As for me, I just sat in a haze and drank tea! Happily reminiscing about the weekend and planning our next event... watch this space is all I can say!
Bye for now, Rosie.

Well gardens are blooming and growing and the weather has been pretty decent recently. This reminds us that Summer is on the way….. hopefully……it also means that our Annual Art and Craft Exhibition is looming! We are busying away in the background making arrangements. Our theme for the Art Group’s display is Flowers this year. So flowers were in abundance this week. Some of us are well prepared, others not so much.
Enjoy the photos, if you want to see them in real life call into the Exhibition on Satuday 9th or Sunday 10th May 2026. We’re in Burton Memorial Hall, Burton-in-Kendal.
Bye for now

The race for the Latch Hook Cushion completion has been won. One of our members has finished and I must say the cushion looks lovely. Well worth the effort. A few of us are still plodding on and there is a vicious rumour that one member has given hers away to someone to finish it for her…….. I won’t name and shame, but you know who you are …. Hee hee!
Keep crafting everyone, until next time

Today we were looking forward to Spring type activities - garden fetes, marquees, camping and anything in between. I decided in my own weird way to celebrate rain… and puddles... a few of which we have seen over the last few weeks! Basically a child having fun splashing in puddles with wellies on was my ‘activity’. Still work in progress this week and not ready for the end of session Gallery yet - maybe next week. We had Ice Skaters, Camping and Village Scenes this week, along with some micro beasts from last week.
Until next time, let your heart inspire your art.

Today our theme was Sunset Over the Sea. I had a go with this and I have to say I was quite pleased with my attempt. My boat pier does need some work (basically covering over with white gouache and starting again…..) but I might have a go as the sunset bit is worth holding onto. I also brought my cottage back from last week, as it was now completed.
The random discussion today was about Masking Fluid. Who knew that this wonderful medium existed…… so, you can use this to cover an area you don’t want to paint over and then peel it off later. Your image or area will be absolutely free of paint for you to develop as you wish. Obviously, I came home and ordered some from a well known on-line supplier immediately!
We were treated to Jane’s homemade jam buns with our cuppa this morning…. Yummy.
