Birthday Crafternoon



Hello......... Just a little post today to share with you a bit about my Birthday Crafternoon.


The day started with me attempting to make some chocolate covered Strawberries, a little tricky when the supermarket had removed the stalks but I got there in the end, dark chocolate with a white chocolate drizzle.


In the afternoon the lovely Lindy Laine kindly hosted my crafternoon, with lots of cakes, crafting, laughter and chat, with good friend, I probably should have taken a few more pictures, but I got a bit distracted with all the fun.


Over on Facebook, a very talented bunch of friends were joining in with the craftnoon virtually, here's a mosaic of what they all got up too.  Being mostly housebound the Internet is a bit a lifeline to me and I've made some wonderful friends (who love crafting too) so it was great some of them were able to join in with the celebrations.


As for me well I managed to make this little felt birdie, amongst all the festivities.

So now I'm in rest up mode, for my actual Birthday on Tuesday,  fingers crossed if I rest up the post exertional malaise from Friday's fun will have been and gone by then.

A big thank you too everyone who join in with the crafternoon, in blogland, I'm too tired to figure out how to add one of those link up thingies but I'd love for you to leave a comment sharing what you got up to.

Happy Crafting 

Clare xx

  1. I enjoyed a pot of tea and a piece of cake and stitched some buttons onto a crochet cushion. Glad to hear you had a good time.

  3. I didn't do anything crafty on Friday. I'm mostly housebound too, but managed to go to the theatre to see a local group do the musical version of Sister Act (they were absolutely brilliant) on Thursday. I spent Friday in bed recovering a bit. I made a quick and easy birthday card today though. I think I'll need another day in bed tomorrow, as I probably should have stayed there today.
