Horncastle Lincolnshire

Every other Monday a group of local ladies, myself included, meet at the Community Centre in Horncastle. Our one common bond is that we all enjoy doing crafts of one sort or another, whether its knitting & crochet, patchwork & quilting, felting, rag rug, lace making, cross stitch…..the list is endless! For a couple of hours we chat and work on our individual projects, sharing a mutual enthusiasm for all things handmade. Today was ‘show and tell’ which involved everyone bringing something they had created and showing it off to the group. There is such a lot of talent around, and so much of this creative work would otherwise be hidden away, that I thought I would put together a collage of some of the pieces to share with you, I hope you enjoy them.

A few examples of the fabulous craft work on display at the Community Craft gathering.

It’s been brooches, brooches and more brooches over the past week or so! Originally I began making these for myself but, after getting such a lot of interest, I now find myself making them to order. This week I am particularly excited as Joanne from Graces Boutique in Horncastle has offered to display some of them for sale in her shop.

Joanne recently moved Graces a couple of doors down the road into larger premises and this has allowed her to create a fabulous stylish setting for her beautiful clothing – if you are looking for something different to the run of the mill High Street styles this is a great place to visit.
