Today was our Sunday Craft Day but you might have well renamed it our Sunday Food Day as this was the spread…oh no wait, this is just the savoury table.
here is some of the sweet selection…..I’m sure I said in my email that this was not masterchef! And that absolutely scrumptious looking chocolate tart was made by this lovely lady…who I’ve now renamed that chocolate tart lady! Thank you everyone for the wonderful food you bought…you put my egg and mayo sandwiches to shame!
We had a ball, there were 18 of us in total and despite my best efforts I didn’t even finish 2 rows of my ripple blanket as there was too much conversation to be involved in.
I know I’m not alone, I don’t think this young lady touched her machine till after lunchtime. We finished up after 3pm but as you know time flies when you’re having fun so I think a longer day is on the cards next time.
thank you to each and everyone of you clever crafty ladies who came along and made it the special day that it was…..we will definitely be doing it again….
but perhaps we’ll bring less food next time or we’ll have to call our husbands in to clear the lunch table for us when we’re done.
and the day was made even better with the news that my mum is back in the ward, did a little walk around the bed and is on the mend! thank you for your special prayers and thoughts……it was the worst week of my life but ended on a high!
It looks like you had a lovely day. I’m glad your mum is getting better
So glad you mum is on the mend
Lucky ladies to have all that food and good company. I miss my sewing group more that I miss my family! xox
Fantastic news about your mum Corrie. How wonderful for you all. She must be happy too. Sounds as though you did have a case of Masterchef (love that show) on your hands and that chocolate tart does look delicious.
Corrie I’m thrilled today was such a success and so glad our prayers were answered with your lovely mum on the mend. I can’t wait for the next craft day because I’ll deifnitely be there!!
Hooray for craft days and hooray for your mum’s recovery.

Looks like fun was had by all. I am so jealous!!!
Was so fab! Thabks for organising, had a FAB day!!
your day sounds like fun bit HOORAY!!! for your mum’s steps down the road to recovery.
With all that amazing food lurking round I figure the only crafty stuff going on was the adjustment of waist bands!
yum – wish I could come up for one of those days. You look like you have a great time. Glad to hear about your mum!
That looks like it was so much fun. I know I would have spent more time talking and eating than sewing.
So glad your mum is out of ICU. We’ll keep praying.

Corrie, thanks for organising such a fantastic day.
Sounds like a great day. Perhaps I will make it in a couple of months when Layla weans.
Wow look at all the yummy food! Looks like you all had a wonderful day. I’m so happy to hear that you mum is doing better too
Thanks Corrie, I had a lovely day!
I am so pleased that your Mum is doing better. Let’s hope this week is a better one for you.
I’m so happy to hear that your mum is feeling better and got through that scary time. Hopefully you (and she) will have a peaceful week ahead to make up for the last one!
And I can’t tell you how much I wish I were in the same hemisphere as your lovely Sunday craft days, they sound like the loveliest gatherings.
Thanks so much for organising! It was a fantastic day. And I’m SO glad to hear about your mum.
Thanks for a fab day Corrie!
Woohoo! Great news about your mum, Corrie. The craft day looks so wonderful, I wish I could have been there. I’ll be sure to make it next time!
Sounds like you had a great day – I should look into finding a spot here that could house a group of ladies for a day of crafting.
Glad to hear that your mum is on the mend.
Looks like you had a real fun (and delicious) day. I’m thinking about emigrating to australia 😉
Good to hear your mom is doing better. I’ll keep sending positive thoughts to all of you!
It was a lovely day and the conversation was great. The food, well, the food. Let’s just say I have no restraint when it comes to the concept of ‘bring a plate’.
Thankyou for organising it all and I hope to take part again!
Thanks again for organising the day Corrie, I had such a lovely time and got loads done!
I’m glad that your Mum is on the mend Corrie, such wonderful news.
Oh so yum I wish that I could come! It looks like you might all need to start having a bake off and a craft day with all those great cooks. Smiles Catherinexx
look like such a wonderful day for you all! so happy to hear your mum is improving
Oh how much fun! Would love to tag along to another one in the future!.
And good to hear that your mum is on the mend.
