In the past week Mrs S has had a clear out of her "Craft Boxes". Six large bin liners of wool have gone to the local charity shop (she now has only three full bin liners left). Also she has disposed of 4 large boxes of pieces of fabric, three folders of patterns and several dozen books. There is still a room full of those that cannot be parted with!
The house is still full of the rubbish but she feels that she has had a good sort out and is ready for the new academic year (Starts October but the courses are being planned now).
This coming year, I am told, she is running classes in Paper Crafts (Quilling, Card Making, Caligraphy, "Tea Bag" Folding and Iris Folding), Scrapbooking, Quilting, Creative Writing and probably Latin (that one is still in doubt). Men ~ don't even ask ~ I have only put all the sordid details in for Wench's appreciation.
Everything but the Latin will be trialled at the dining table as each lesson plan has to include the "here's one I made earlier" routine.
BTW Wench if you are into medieval braiding and silk work my SiL does that. She has written a book on the subject ~ details on request.
PS You two would have a field day and get on well I suspect .... fortunately we are at the other end of Wales from the one you visit. Pity that. eh?
