FREE - Limited sacks of mixed fabric
FREE - Pairs of knitting needles
FREE - Vinyl Records
FREE - Small photo frames (A5 or smaller)

We are lucky in Eastbourne to have St. Wilfred's Hospice, and we are sure that you have seen in the new recently how much they are struggling. We all know someone who has been touched by cancer, so please donate as generously as you can

I love Thursdays at the Eastbourne Scrap Store!
It's doggy heaven with Chester and Darla pottering about and saying hello to everyone. Darla always needs a little snooze when we get home...
We have our 'community makes' group which has grown over the past few months, and today they were making syringe driver bags for the local hospital in cheerful colours.
We had our usual workshops; learn to crochet, patchwork plus knit and natter, as well as two new ones today; paper collage and button meadows plus beginners machine sewing with Hilly.
Of special mention is our little patch of garden which has been tended by Heather, one of our amazing volunteers. From a little patch of neglected garden, we now have a lovely range of colourful and fragrant flowers. The sweet peas are glorious at the moment, and we even had a poppy in bloom when I arrived this morning!

This morning was our Air Dry Clay Gnomes workshop, and we decided to trial two different types of clay; stone which starts out almost black but does to a realistic light grey stone colour, and white which dries, well, white!
Our crafters used templates and formas to create the conical shape, added bulbous noses, hat rims and either a shaggy beard or flowers for the ladies! It's amazing how differently they all turned out, but each one with a character of their own ❤️

It must be the heat, but I forgot to post yesterday's bag making workshop run by the lovely Hilly 😊
Hilly advised to use fabric that didn't have a directional pattern, but someone was very keen on caravans! Did she mind that they were upside down on the reverse? Absolutely not. Did it still look great? ABSOLUTELY YES! Just like all the others... Well done ladies 😘

This morning at our 'KIDS 4 A QUID' we made a whole zoo full of animals from toilet roll tubes!
We had cats 🐱 lions 🦁 zebras 🦓 Giraffes 🦒 some pigs 🐷 a snake 🐍 butterflies 🦋 monkeys 🐒🐵 an elephant 🐘 a giant spider 🕷️ and even some dinosaurs 🦖
I think it's fair to say everyone had fun (even the parents!) 😁
