It's Friday again already, where does the week go?

So pleased that some bookings are in for our macrame Christmas decorations class in a couple of Thursdays time. It will be a lovely evening with Jennifer from @knotpullar to kick start the Christmas spirit so please think about joining us!

The decorations are a great addition to your Christmas collection for that boho vintage touch or would be an amazing present for someone special. There will be step by step guidance in the class and by the end you will have some beautiful handmade pieces to take away with you. During the workshop you will learn three types of macrame knots: - a larks head, a square head, a double hitch knot.

All materials are provided including a warm creative festive environment, a glass of wine, mince pies and nibbles (or warm beverages of course!) with a dash of Christmas cheer!

 We really hope you can join us. If you are a group of friends looking to do some Christmas crafting of an evening then this is perfect. Click below for full details and to book:-
