Catch 'em young!!



I love this picture!!

Just look at the concentration!!

Friday morning brought together a group of girls (ages 10,11,12) who meet in my kitchen, now and again, to practise their craft skills!

Cross Stitch was on offer this time!

xxxxxxx


First of all we practised!


And then we opened up our 'Sew Funky' kits!

These come with instructions, charts, threads, binca, needles etc


And that's when it got tricky!! ;-)

But with a little bit of perseverence...

Concentration...

Occasional refreshments!


They mastered it quite (!) well!

I give you tomorrow's crafters... today!

Hmm maybe I should introduce them to blogging, next time!

  1. Hi Sal,
    Love the concentration of their faces...how lovely to inspire these young talents... joyous indeed to see. My girls are at the moment wanting to put fake tatoos on each other!! They have assured me that thay will rub off before school restarts.
    a happy weekend to you x

  3. What a great thing to do. Do you possibly have space for a 36 year old that would love to have a go at cross stitch??

  7. How lovely Sal, I started at a young age too when my mum would buy me craft kits for Christmas and birthdays - I loved them! Looking forward to November and meeting you too!!

  10. How I would have loved this opportunity as a child, nothing like this in my day. So nice of you to open up your kitchen table to learn a crafting skill. If I lived locally I would be round, I need to learn a trick or two! x

  14. That looks like a fantastic day. I wish I could have sent L along, she won't stick at stitching when I try to tempt her but I am pretty sure she would if others were doing it too.
