Brilliant organisation - if it wasnt so far away I would certainly come

Really looking forward to your event Waley. Bring on the strawberries!! I think its great that the Threatles are playing strawberry fields in the strawberry fields! The bass player on the left is Paul - Mr Butterfly!

Looks great. Have a good day.

The words 'Olympic', 'Olympiad', 'Olympian' (and their plurals and words very similar to them – eg 'Olympix'

Bit late now I know, but surly the word 'olympic' (ie without the capital O) would be OK, as all the other variations have made it into a proper noun.

Just thought I'd share what I've been working on today.....

Mors-medals (or should that be Morsals!) to give away - not gold, silver and bronze but yellow, orange and green!



Here are some fruity bags I've made including some mini ones, perfect for pots of jam! Thanks to Offcuts for the fabric. There are some ironed kits left for people to make on the day.



The weather forecast is a bit iffy for Saturday but we will be undercover in the covered courtyard. We have powerpoints for electric machines but would be nice to have one or two Singers. Offcuts, please could you bring your extension lead and your folding table to put the machines on? I will take the Bernina and maybe my handcrank. We've been promoting it well and the Groupon offer is still running so should be a good crowd. We have a few more craft stalls booked including knitted toys, hats, corn dollies, candles, cards, ceramics and spinning. We also have a local ukulele band to keep us entertained. They are fab - they play Lady Gaga and Jessie J!!

Stunning medals, Waley and lovely fruity bags. Fine for machines and table.

Wow, great medals and I obviously love the mini morsbags....
Waley I'm afraid I've only managed 15 bags.... Life was a bit hectic before we came on holiday (I will explain on Saturday)....

[Krisaby]

Oh Waley! I love it all!
