Happy New Year to everyone...

...and I hope that you had a healthy enjoyable Christmas.

We had a really interesting talk on knitting with wire in our November meeting and we were all given the chance to 'have ago' ourselves. I found it quite tricky but Sue Burns, who gave us the talk had developed some interesting ideas.

We had a lovely display of Christmassy crafts made by our members and ...

we finished off our day with a delicious slice of our 35th birthday cake, made by Cathy Smith. She had even made a lace Martlets Bird to sit on the top. Beautiful. Thank you Cathy.
