Zen Tangle Workshop

This afternoon at Craft Club we enjoyed an excellent workshop on Zen Tangle which was something a bit different.



Our attempts weren't quite as good as this but everyone had a go with some excellent results.




A BIG Thank you to Shirley for introducing us to this new craft.

Lunch at Powderham

A group of us enjoyed a delicious lunch at Powderham Orangery today - excellent food and conversation on a rainy day!
















The food was so good we decided we had to share it with you!





And don't forget the pudding!










We get together for a monthly meal - alternating an evening meal and lunch .  Come along and join us in January !

The Bee's Knees

Last night's talk about Bees and their importance to the environment was full of interesting facts and information.  I'm sure we all learned a lot about the different kinds of bees and their complex and fascinating lives.  

Liz also brought along her range of Bee goods - honey, honey fudge (yum!),  soaps, balms, creams and lots of ideas for Christmas presents. 





The competition was to create a handcrafted bee brooch and there were some great entries.



It was a really enjoyable evening which made it worthwhile having come out in the wind and the rain!
