THE JUNE CHALLENGE - A LITTLE LATE, BUT LOTS OF CRAFTY FUN!

Loading InLinkz ...

Our visit to The Craft Barn Extravaganza was lots of fun - this year we were at the new shop near Redhill, situated on a beautiful farm, with a great farm shop, garden centre and (I am told) a fabulous cafe!  Love the surroundings, and the new shop - crammed full of 'must have' crafting goodies.  The demonstrators (x25) were doing their stuff in 3 marquees next to the shop, and the marquees were a joy to be in.  The weather was amazing and the interiors were light and cheerful.  We met lots of lovely new people, and lots of old friends - hope you too enjoyed yourself?!  We should have taken more photos (now why on earth didn't we?), but Malc remembered to take one of Gio (all the way from Italy), and myself, at Gio's demo table, just before we set off back for home.  Gio has more photos of the occasion on her Blog HERE..

Both of us sporting gorgeous crowns made by Gio herself (Malcolm had one too)!

We also met up again with Lucy Edmondson, Helen Chilton and Brenda Brown, all from the 'Team' - lovely to see you ladies!

Now on with the Challenge details for June:

Sylvie aka Nefertiti has chosen the subject for the Challenge which is a lovely summery theme -
'SEA, SUN AND BEACH'.  And here are the usual Challenge details to get you started:

Here is Sylvie's superb project to inspire, made from an altered wooden table frame - what an imagination! Have a look at Sylvie's Blog for more details.

And to end this post I want to show you Janet's - of 'The Inked Edge' fame - framed creation which I thought fits very nicely with this Challenge theme.  Janet made this at our class when we were concentrating on TAP transfers to cotton.  I think it was intended to be a gift to her sister - but I'm not sure if her sister will actually be lucky enough to receive it, as Janet rather likes it herself (you know how it is!)

Back with more pretties soon!
