Coffee & Craft

 Good morning!

I hope you are all well and keeping safe  We have a lovely sunny day again here, I think a dog walk is in order. I love our walks in the morning - nearly as much as crafting (I said nearly 😉!!!).

With a bit of luck, the restrictions will lift soon so we can start to think about getting together again to craft but until we can (and more importantly, it’s safe) I’d like to get the ball rolling to meet up virtually, if your up for it?

If your free on Friday 30th April, from 2pm I’m going to set up a Zoom call so we can have a crafty natter online.  All you need is a laptop, computer, tablet or a device which has a camera and microphone so we can all see and hear each other  

It would be even better if you are crafting, too. Any craft, knitting, painting, parchment, it really doesn’t matter.

To send you the invite, I have to ask your permission to have your email and for you to confirm that I can contact you. So if you could fill in the form to sign up to my newsletter or contact me direct, I will send the Zoom invitation through a couple of days before our meeting,.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and hope to ‘see’ you on Friday!

Got to dash, our dog (Shiloh) seems to have worked out it’s walk time!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend.  Stay safe x

I'm Back

 Yes, I'm back, again.  

So many years have gone by since I posted on here that its taken me ages to get back into my account!!!

Life has changed so much over the years (not just during the pandemic) my lovely Mum passed away in January 2019 so we have had to adjust to not having her around and coming to my classes.  Its been so hard since she passed but I am grateful that she didn't have to go through all the pain of COVID-19.

We finally managed to get the house finished, but having been here for nearly 8 years, we need to think about decorating some rooms now!!!  My craftroom(s) are ready for in person classes and workshops - when restrictions allow and here it is...

Get me for looking like I know what I am doing, haha.

I have been really busy and have only really been using Facebook to tell everyone about my crafting. So for the full picture you can see me on (2) Janscraftroom | Facebook.

In 2017 I became a Certified Powertex Tutor and until the pandemic was doing workshops and demonstrations in and around Barnsley ,Wakefield and also at Hobbycraft in Leeds.  Obviously, workshops have been on hold for the last 12 months but I have done some online and many more are planned.  My new website is nearly ready, so when its sorted, I will post a link.

After the pandemic threw all our lives into disarray, I had issues where I worked resulting in me not being employed for a few months (my choice, as working in H&S I just wasn't comfortable with their lack of protection for staff and clients) and in June 2020 I also retuned to Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator, again.  This was initially just for me, but I am getting more lovely ladies ordering and asking for classes.

I will be starting some Coffee and Craft sessions in the next couple of weeks where we just get together 'vurtually' online and just do our own thing.  So, whether you are into knitting, sewing, cardmaking, felting, parching, ANY crafting - just let me know and I will email you the link.

Ok, thank you for taking the time to read my blog.  Sorry its taken so long but I hope you are all well and keeping safe.
