Renewing my mojo

Last year a friend invited me to visit her local Scottish women’s Institute group: where craft skills are shared and social activities take place.

It transpired it was a great place to relax, have a laugh and learn new hobbies to try.

Well recently they organised a show and the group( a relatively new one with younger members(not me) wanted to have a go and show the more traditional groups that we were committed to the ethos of the organisation.

They had various categories and one of the ones I entered was to use a piece of tartan to make something.

Yes I entered a mini kilt, all sewn by hand. I am back! I didn’t win anything with it: I got a commended and a highly commended for non miniaturist items, so maybe they aren’t into minis. But I am!

Since then I have added a wee pair of jeans to dress a teenage bedroom.

So in amongst my other crafting, I am back enjoying small projects that don’t take up too much space.
