It was a busy day with some macramé jars being made. Kay is amazing. She makes it look so easy! We had a visitor this morning with Amy, Ruby and six week old Theo. It’s easy to see why coming to the Women’s Shed doesn’t mean you need to do any crafting. And we haveContinue reading “BUSY DAY”

Macramé
It’s not all crochet and knitting! Today at the Women’s Shed Kay was doing some macramé. She was making a little key ring tag and said it wasn’t that good but she’s clearly done these before and whipped this one up very quickly. It seems she is very skilled at lots of handcrafts and keepingContinue reading “Macramé”
THE POPPY
“During World War I, red poppies were among the first plants to grow on the Western Front in Europe. They bloomed across the wasted battlefields of northern France and Belgium. In Australia and other countries of the Commonwealth, we recognise the red poppy as the commemorative flower of remembrance. The flower reminds us of those whoContinue reading “THE POPPY”
HOW MANY KITCHEN TOWELS DO I NEED?

Kitchen towels are amongst the dampest, warmest and most used textiles in your house. It’s abundantly clear that they are the perfect environment forContinue reading “HOW MANY KITCHEN TOWELS DO I NEED?”

Each poppy is slightly different, (buttons, yarn shades, patterns vary), but all made with love and care. These poppies are being sold for $5 each, with proceeds going to both the Women’sContinue reading “REMEMBRANCE DAY”
ECO DYEING
Today, at the Women’s Shed, we learned a bit about Eco-dyeing. Erika is new to our community and has this amazing skill of dyeing fabrics using natural leaves and flowers. She can be seen here showing us some paper prints, while wearing a top that she dyed using this craft. Her favourite things to dyeContinue reading “ECO DYEING”
TIME TO CATCH UP
It’s so exciting that in a few days we will be able to catch up with everyone at the Women’s Shed. My big news is that we had a new grandson born during the lockdown. He can be seen here, lovingly wrapped in his newly crocheted baby blanket. I have lots more photos and thingsContinue reading “TIME TO CATCH UP”

We are very grateful for being part of a community that works together so well. Thank you Rev.
