Our meeting this month was an informal day. This means we all bring along a project that we are working on and then chat with everyone while working and drinking tea and eating cake! Although I must be honest and say that there was no cake as our cake making members were not there so sadly we were cake-less. We usually have cake and if you are coming along to a meeting cake is always very welcome especially as that will be your subs for the day!

However I thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and we all stayed until the end so I think we all had a good day. I thought I'd include photos of some of the varied activities taking place.

Tina showed us her box of very special yarn that she had ordered from a Ramadam wool club. It is  a small business called @abuelitafibercompany. She has packages to open each day of Ramadam and these ones in the photo are hand dyed with natural dyes. Lots of info about Ramadam and the individual dyers is included too. Lovely!
