It arrived finally!!! After a week spent in the RVH Hospital for Sick Children with my daughter, we got home on Thursday night, spent Friday night writing out measurements and today was the day for our sewing bee. We had a brilliant day - in all there were 65 dresses made, of all sizes, for children in the fishing village of Pundaquit in the Phillippines. With lots of fabric donations, materials donated and bought, about 100,000 calories worth of snacks, approx. 15 sewing machines and a mountain of enthusiasm there was no stopping the ladies of the sewing bee! <br />

On Saturday 18th May we are having a day long sewing bee to make pillowcase dresses for children in the Phillippines. I got the idea from Ruth in Creative Homemaker, in East Belfast about two months ago - and thought it would be something my crafty friends would like to get involved in! <br />
<br />
We would love you to come along and join us - the day is from 10am to 4pm - we have approx 13 sewing machines booked in and need people to help with sewing, cutting fabric, threading elastic and more. You can come for an hour, or the full day - if you would like to join in, we have a facebook group<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/166475230178477/" target="_blank"> here</a><br />
<br />
IF you can't come, we are accepting donations of fabric and even ready-made pillowcase dresses. <br />

Cost for the day is £6 and there will be plenty of help available for newbies. Just remember to bring photographs if this is new to you.... </div>

Just back in from a very creative afternoon with 11 of Ballyclare's most talented new crafters... ably assisted by Sarah from round the corner, we set off armed with a cuttlebug, frames from IKEA, gazillions of scrap paper, paper punches and of course gems and glitter...<br />
here are the finished results! Parties available in the surrounding area in your own home - contact me for more details at <a href="mailto:info@cleocrafts.co.uk">info@cleocrafts.co.uk</a> or via <a href="http://www.facebook.com/CleoCrafts">www.facebook.com/CleoCrafts</a><br />

Its just over a week until the shop closes up for good... we still have lots of items in our half price sale so you can still snap up some bargains! In the meantime I am busy organising our new way forward - I have booked the local church hall for the second Saturday of every month starting on Saturday 9th February - everyone is welcome - the cost for the day will be £6 and I will have my pop up shop with me - new scrapbooking stash! And just in case that doesn't tempt you, I promise some home-baked treats too :)</div>

Well its only four weeks until we close the doors to Cleo Crafts and move to a new business model - including scrapbooking crops back in Whitehouse Presb church hall starting in February :). Our sale starts properly on Wednesday and ALL items in the shop are half-price or better.... come down this week to snap up the best deals! Joy's card classes will continue for the next three weeks... see you soon and happy new year! </div>

So, now the decision has been made to close up shop, I have started putting lots of goodies on sale! If you drop into Cleo Crafts this week, you will pick up some fab bargains including half-price Christmas stash, wool for £1.50, stamps from £1.00, cuttlebug folders, Molly Bloom stamps, and more. <br />

As you may know, once the shop closes, I am going to continue with the business in a mobile capacity, so items which will NOT be going on special offer will include our tapes, pens, stickles, card blanks etc as these will all be in use in the next few phase of the Cleo Crafts lifecycle :)<br />
<br />
Joy is running her cardmaking classes on site right up until the end of January, and this weekend is doing a repeat of the fabulous Christmas Craft workshop - we have some spaces, so if you fancy a creative festive weekend, grab a spot! Only £23 for the day.....</div>

Today Tara and I packed our papers, doublesided tape, LOTS of alphas and stickers, and headed for Derry YMCA to have a fun day of mini-book scrapbooking with a great bunch of children (or do I say young people?) . Led by Carmel, this was a lovely group of children to work with - we had so much fun that it was hard for some of them to leave! We hope to be back again at Easter time to continue with our crafting... thanks for a great day out Afasic NI Derry!<br />

its a big weekend coming up for us at Cleo Crafts - Tara and I are off to complete our childrens craft sessions with Afasic NI in Belfast on Friday night - I am looking forward to meeting up with the boys again and finishing our little projects - then on Saturday it's Joy's big Christmas Craft day - my only responsibility is to make the soup :) lets hope I don't mess that part up! <br />
<br />
Then onto Monday night and the visit to Downtrick's Patchwork & Craft ladies group for our enormous cardmaking class.... the cards are prepped and we have up to 30 ladies coming! I think I will have a well deserved rest on Tuesday! <br />
<br />
Photos will be posted for all of these events - keep an eye out :) <br />

Tonight I was at Joy's advanced papercraft class along with some of our lovely crafty friends. Highlight of the night was when Joy and Toni managed to drop Toni's half-made decoration in my cup of tea.... and then dunk it while trying to rescue it... <br />

We used Carta Bella papers , cut into little arrow tips, used ultra sticky doublesided tape along each point, and along the long edge on the background - all the pieces were stuck together and then 'smashed' down on a round piece of cardboard with a glue gun. The tape was then taken off the points and embossed with Stampendous Champagne embossing powder. The centre of the decoration was from an old earring, again stuck down with glue guns. THis class will be repeated on Saturday morning if you are interested... I loved it!!<br />

Last week we held our first scrapbooking birthday party for Hannah - there were 16 girls, all aged around 6-8, and we had stamping, embossing and lots of cutting and sticking! Mum had bought frames for all the finished pages and here are a couple to show off... I think its safe to say the girls all enjoyed it!

In our house this week we have been 'cultivating' Herman the German - Herman is a sourdough cake mix, originating from the Amish community tradition of giving out a sourdough bread to the needy and sick. My pilates instructor Lindsay gave me a little tinfoil tray of mix last week with a sheet of instructions - Herman sits in a bowl in the kitchen and you 'feed' him every few days and stir every day - great fun for the kids. We have just taken the finished results out of the oven and I am quite intrigued to see what he tastes like!!<br />

We have our new childrens class tutor signed up and we are beginning our classes in a few weeks. Betty will be taking the afterschool class on Wednesdays at 3pm to 4pm, and Aisling will be taking our Saturday morning weekly class at 9.30am to 10.30am. All kids classes will be £5.00 per head and are aimed at children in the younger half of primary school - so thats from P1 to P4. </div>

Its back to school time and unfortunately the lovely ladies who have been helping out with my children's classes are not available for this year - if you are interested in running a childrens craft class - or in fact, classes for adults in knitting/crochet or other crafts (I am always open to ideas!) then please get in touch - message me through the blog, facebook or email Louise on <a href="mailto:info@cleocrafts.co.uk">info@cleocrafts.co.uk</a><br />
