May Update: Hello to all members. Our craft group has proven to be so popular that unfortunately I am unable to accept any more participants. However, if you are interested in this activity then I encourage you to keep in touch with me when at our monthly meetings as vacancies may arise.

Monday February 17 was our first craft session for 2025 with fourteen ladies attending. What fun we had catching up after our Christmas break, chatting and laughing, sharing photos, etc.
When it was time to begin our craft projects, I was able to get the ladies’ attention by using my new bell – a very thoughtful gift from Lyn Mather, so there’s much more decorum in the room now. A very special thankyou to Penny and Steve McColl who hosted our Christmas craft session and lunch, which was a perfect way to conclude a happy year.

AUGUST UPDATE 2024
Our Craft Group had a slow start to the year as I had to have emergency surgery in March. After weeks of rehab,I was back to my old self and I’m now fit and well – thanks to my craft ladies, Probus friends and family.
Our August craft activity was as usual interesting and lots of fun. Joan Tomlinson brought two sculptures to show us. They were made by a member of her family and made out of fabric and sculptured into a dear little girl and a boy. Joan called the technique “Sculpt Drapery”. I googled “Sculpt Drapery – Jon Burns Fine Art- Sculpt Drapery & Folds” to find out more about this art form. It was fascinating to learn about this craft. I came to the conclusion that the sculptures Joan owns are very old and perhaps made with a different technique to the modern ones.
Pamela Spencer, our talented quilt maker, brought an orchid spike to show us. We all enjoyed its beauty and I was lucky enough to take it home.
September’s Craft Group are having a “Japanese Day” – making cards with a Japanese theme. I guess in October we will begin to think about what we will make for Xmas.
