Oh my, it’s a while since I wrote anything here.

With changing jobs and ISPs I’ve been off-line for a while, but that didn’t stop me being crafty. In fact, Sunday 29th of April saw Manchester’s first ever Church of Craft meeting.
With 6 people it was a lovely size for getting to know people and being able to spend time talking as well as crafting. We did a project I love and have wanted to do for some time, making creatures from socks. This project is so much fun because each creature develops its own personality as you sew him or her together. I don’t think you could make two the same if you tried, each time you make one they have their own little quirks, a big wide mouth or a squishy little belly.Plus they’re so soft and huggable. One crafter said, “You just want to keep picking them up and touching them.”

I was able to get a few quick snaps of all but one of the finished sock creatures andKaty has promised to bring her amazing black and yellow striped fella along to the next meeting so everybody can see him too.
