Week before last got some handy hints to help merchandise and set up our own market stalls and online stores. and last weekend the girls made some nifty changes to their old wares.<br /><br />Michelle impressed us with a new spunky stripy waistcoat, whilst Judith and the others added some beautiful designs to their pants and skirts.<br /><br />This Sunday Bex Hulands and Kristen Masters introduce us to Knitting and Crochet. The workshop is pretty full, so if you haven't booked already you better get in quick!! Also, be so so great if you could bring your own knitting needles and crochet hooks, that way you can take home what you started and keep working on it, yay!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBoN46FGkV6he3NsAsROFEtL-D0hy300PLUb2LDgIf18CBbpnxsjccY58_koh-lIcRqiOwpUuXzUQDqKtNveN0NhIptmMsPAUmHwkZ8M9hOUY6uiLyHnJ-97OfLDdfpgzbdIh4yUnJkupV/s1600-h/DSC_0264.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBoN46FGkV6he3NsAsROFEtL-D0hy300PLUb2LDgIf18CBbpnxsjccY58_koh-lIcRqiOwpUuXzUQDqKtNveN0NhIptmMsPAUmHwkZ8M9hOUY6uiLyHnJ-97OfLDdfpgzbdIh4yUnJkupV/s200/DSC_0264.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376739262934140306" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD8sMD-QQTqlKBXObvM1KfxaiCRZVOpEXSDcfB64VCV4pxk2YJDkBBd3p4x1YK32xhyphenhyphenDpxePPjkjBFGavSuX7W-GvE1yRajejCaAZRGSeZElANXHkE0xVc5Yx91f998JH2xh3gdgyUlawn/s1600-h/DSC_0267.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD8sMD-QQTqlKBXObvM1KfxaiCRZVOpEXSDcfB64VCV4pxk2YJDkBBd3p4x1YK32xhyphenhyphenDpxePPjkjBFGavSuX7W-GvE1yRajejCaAZRGSeZElANXHkE0xVc5Yx91f998JH2xh3gdgyUlawn/s200/DSC_0267.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376738304537840898" border="0" /></a>Cut + Pastehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02158708437976279708noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2710126155809598111.post-26804680809301864142009-08-28T01:15:00.001-07:002009-08-28T01:16:58.717-07:00wanted - crochet hooks and knitting needlesThe upcoming Yarning workshop next Sunday 6 September is filling up fast, if you have sets of crochet hooks and knitting needles you can lend or give to us for the afternoon that'd be super crafty of you! please contact cut.paste.craft@gmail.com<br /><br />lotsa love xxxCut + Pastehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02158708437976279708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2710126155809598111.post-24797234539065727592009-08-18T21:16:00.000-07:002009-08-24T19:52:17.019-07:00Program Launch<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvsO3RPkW3jkU1O6cruyzX2nxUYRZKooPFfDBPieAPdACO-t984dbTJ5TV5m_9ebGvYhyphenhyphen1QK0ewkTld9hbEY5iLh-sh-glCWudk_DmdZLZ5EvuBPPAVIu1ssHhdT_g_uiS28FvqwnoJMWN/s1600-h/cut+and+paste+A4+sml.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 283px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvsO3RPkW3jkU1O6cruyzX2nxUYRZKooPFfDBPieAPdACO-t984dbTJ5TV5m_9ebGvYhyphenhyphen1QK0ewkTld9hbEY5iLh-sh-glCWudk_DmdZLZ5EvuBPPAVIu1ssHhdT_g_uiS28FvqwnoJMWN/s400/cut+and+paste+A4+sml.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373728705342384786" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-EpTgwNCR9SW38N6IsYIKZHx-5gRSteKugOUZe8QUg5uPUeOtqy2OIXO7ZCAKTf9fPgHw0MhDLYepJBawb-OUwYUaL5FFi9VhVcikgkgQQgUc6ltwCUPZk59zCukOzN7A6aUwAIIy_Mjq/s1600-h/cut+and+paste+back+A4+sml.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 283px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-EpTgwNCR9SW38N6IsYIKZHx-5gRSteKugOUZe8QUg5uPUeOtqy2OIXO7ZCAKTf9fPgHw0MhDLYepJBawb-OUwYUaL5FFi9VhVcikgkgQQgUc6ltwCUPZk59zCukOzN7A6aUwAIIy_Mjq/s400/cut+and+paste+back+A4+sml.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373728694938560354" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Check out the beautiful Cut+Paste poster / flyer designed by Greedy Hen</span>.
