A Lovely Crafty Birthday Party!

Sunday's celebration of the past 5 years of workshops was beyond wonderful.

I looked around at the big group of lovely locals, previous workshop hosts and friends who came along to eat cake and be merry, and just felt my heart bursting with happiness. It's moments like that which make the hours of work that go into running monthly workshops totally worth it, and make me feel lucky to be part of such a vibrant community here in the Greater Hamilton region.

At the workshop people made party hats, learned to crochet, made pom pom bouquets and pimped the pinata, or just enjoyed hot drinks and copious cake whilst exploring the crafts made previously (and a couple we will make in future), pitched their ideas for future crafternoons and enjoyed the #throwbackparty of our slideshow!

Thanks to Cindy for teaching her crochet skills one-one-one to those keen to learn, to Jess for the quadruple-mix sprinkle cake and for the set-up and pack-down help with the lovely talented Rachel, to Lisa for the amazing balloon garland, to Amanda for the projector and your help on the day, to Fushy at Jack & Jude for allowing us to take over your dreamy venue, and to everyone who brought along their creations to show and tell. Thanks also to everyone who has contributed to My Crafternoons over the past 50+ workshops, especially our 17 collaborating tutors and all of our wonderful attendees!

Here are some snaps of our lovely Crafternoon- here's to a bright and colourful future with many more workshops to look forward to!
