Love, hugs, and tim-tams

Today at our session we gave our friend Emma much love. Carmen had repaired her beloved Mr Polar bear and Shelley had painted her a picture of Chilli peppers – because she is super hot and really saucy!

Shelley drew the winner of a Dotee doll with the help of her lovely assistant (and great hand model) Helen. Congratulations Ms Amy.

Trying to get our groove

Sweet Helen was the host of our Gem Session today – thank you sweetie. As usual it was a natter and a moan and a bit of slapping (when someone puts themselves down) and a bit of encouraging too.We entered into a giveaway – which was good, but even better – I was given a lovely brooch on the spot from Helen!We made some funky, funky for the craftstock event we will be at on Thursay evening, but we are all finding it hard to get into the groove – new year and all. I think we need to go out dancing and get all the stress out .

Buttons are our delight

We had our weekly session today at J’s house and it was great as usual. J drooled over each and every one of her buttons and we ooohed and aaahed with her. H started on her Christmas ornaments and C could sadly not join us this week. I was working on an apron and some pincusion ideas.

A toadstool pincusion was the result of our creative brainstorming and I passed it on as a prototype to C as she was having a not such fun day. While making it, I was pondering on the “session” and what it means to me and wrote about it on my blog http://soheartfelt.wordpress.com/

thanks Gems for a great session
