Good morning and welcome to another crafty week.
A busy week here last week, finishing off another ordered album, finishing projects started at CraftyTern Crafters Thursday club and preparing and doing Friday Night live. Still haven’t quite got my new camera set up sorted so apologies for the slow start.
At the moment I am having a short break from craft fairs in order to complete orders and prepare for Christmas but from the first Saturday of October onwards it will be full steam ahead with lots of exciting news.
This week there will be CraftyTern Crafters at Meeting Point House on Thursday and I will do the second part of the folio in a box at a Friday Night Live on You Tube. Details to follow.
Don’t forget to tune into Hobbycraft on Tuesday for our lovely Maggie and Kay from Coolkatzcraft Ltd.
Have a great crafty week everyone x

What a lovely week with our gorgeous little grandson but now all grandchildren are safely back with respective parents and with only three more teaching weeks before retirement it is full steam ahead for CraftyTern!
I have got some new ideas floating around in my head that I will soon be able to focus more on, I also have craft fairs booked up to Christmas so will soon be putting all dates and venues on my web site.
Coffee and Craft will recommence on 22nd September after I have been to visit family. I am also hoping to restart a weekly live session on YouTube.
I will also be doing some more focused YouTube videos looking at specific skills and /or dies starting with the lovely new corner pocket dies from Coolkatzcraft Ltd so watch this space.
Never let it be said that retirement means slowing down- it just means refocusing , especially on all the things that give you joy!😄x

I have found four packs from the last memory book making workshop. They have all the materials cut and scored to make a memory book. If you would be interested they are £25 including P&P. I didn't realise I had any left until someone contacted me and asked, and I don't think I could go through another trauma to get them on my website today!😅
Please message me if you would like one.

So excited! I have managed to get the new Winter Memory book workshop up and live on my website.
I am beginning to realise that technology is no longer my friend. I started getting this ready at 8.00 am!!
However it is now ready.
I have even managed to create a QR code.
Just need people to book now! 😅
