Craft Day 2

Table set for craft day

 Our craft day went really well - we had such fun and we talked and created all day. It was so lovely to spend the time together. We managed to finish 3 of the 4 projects we had planned. The canvas took the longest but was such fun to do. Each one is so different from the others and reflects the colour preferences of the person making it. Thankfully we had enough choices of fabrics, ribbons and buttons - although we could always have more!

Equipment for craft day

 Josh and Debs arrived at about 8pm last night for a meal having successfully moved into their new flat in Reading. I am looking forward to going to see them there once they are settled in. Today they will be putting together furniture and unpacking boxes and making their new home .

It feels so wonderful to have them near again and to be able to share their lives. It's great they chose to come back here.
