So last week i joined the W.I !! That's right, i am now part of the local Womens Institute.
We made beaded snowflake decorations & i have to say i am extremely proud of mine.. no idea what i'm going to do with it mind (it doesn't match my glittery Christmas tree theme you see)..
Isn't it pretty?
Possibly the most crafty item i have ever made in my entire life! And i'm not sure that i'll ever be able to make another one without being told exactly what to do.. But still i'm impressed with it!
Also don't be fooled, this was extremely hard to make! Very intricate!!
May i also point out that the W.I i have joined is a "younger / hip " version of the old womens club! I'm quite excited because i'd wanted join a W.I group for some time, but there hadn't been any suitable looking ones until this new one started.
Next month we're making Christmas wreathes so watch this space!!
Aswell after talking to the leader of the group , she made a really good point that our generation has kind of missed out on learning skills that our grandparents etc would have learnt such as needlework / knitting and so on.. So it's nice that we can go to groups like this to learn these kind of skills.
XOXO
