Great news!

We went to St. Luke’s in Crosby on Saturday, taking our Christmas decorations and cards in the hope that Crosby has started its Christmas shopping.   The cards went very well, but the decorations didn’t attract anyone.    The same applied to our trip to Scorton on Sunday - I really think it’s too early for them – I think we’d better wait a couple of weeks.    Scorton Village Hall was a really busy, pleasant and well-organised venue and we will be going there again on 10^th December.

 I have, at long last, completed enough square for my patchwork quilt.   I’m now in the process of joining them all together – then for the dyeing - can’t wait to see the results although it’s a bit scary – anything could happen.

My camera club, Maghull Photography Club,  is mounting an exhibition at Maghull Town Hall on 19^th and 20^th November, so we have been busy selecting and mounting prints to display.   We’ll also be involved in the organisation and curating of the exhibition as well, although not on the Saturday,  because we’ll be at the Mansion House, St. Helens, for a craft fair that day.   We’ll be there on the Sunday during the day and then we’ll help to dismantle the exhibition and tidy up.   It’s a lot of work for just two days but we’re looking forward to the chance to show the local community what the Club does and how much talent there is among the members.

Last year, we applied to take part in a really big event at St. George’s Hall in Liverpool and were really disappointed not to be accepted.   This year, it takes place over two days so we tried again.  We applied for both days in the hope of being successful for one of them.   Imagine our surprise when we were accepted for both Saturday and Sunday, 3^rd and 4^th December.   We’re going to have to work flat out to make sure we have enough ‘stock’.     Oh dear, that will be another excuse for not doing any housework!
