What do you ❤️ about crafting!
This valentines we would love you to share with us what you love about crafting. Which craft could you spend hours doing!? Are there any you’d love to try but haven’t got round to yet?
A love for creating things can awaken something in us all if we find the right craft. It can bring you joy, help boost mental health, create connections with others when shared and also awaken your inner child, who is often lost in the troubles of day to day life.
Share your crafting loves with us this evening and a very Happy Valentines to you all!

“May you find something to ❤️ every day!”

🍃 at Barnard Castle group 🍃
Last week our lovely Barny group had Jess from Knot worth the tassel over to help them to thread, knot, comb out and mount these lovely macrame feathers/leaves, making some great wall hanging to enjoy at home or gift to a friend.
Using some gorgeous pastel and earthy toned cords and wooden dowel, the ladies each went home with something they could treasure.

🌈School holiday workshops🌈
Rise & Bloom have some wonderful workshops coming up this (Darlington area) half term and we would love you to join us with the kids. Both workshops, hosted by Charlotte are priced for two people to make either a length of bunting or a mosaic.
🧵 Bunting workshop- Tue 24th Feb 11am-1pm £45 per couple.
Pick your fabrics then stitch, sew and applique your length of bunting and learn all the techniques involved. You’ll have the chance to use a sewing machine, and don’t worry if you’re new to sewing — we’ll guide you both through the basics, including how to stitch simple seams.
👨‍👩‍👧 Suitable for ages 8+ accompanied by an adult.

BOOK HERE- https://site.corsizio.com/event/695baed35522fa2ea412025f?fbclid=IwY2xjawP2un5leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFSdzFIQ1V1Q1EyNGxtSHRjc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHirUxBvPF1E3L0FlLO-1YDTE5esqVv2jRRZECn0iGZ7AdJEryw-DTQaGKZZa_aem_cQezrfkpnEfNKDkw8zIkIQ

🌈Mosaic Workshop- Fri 27th 11am-1pm £45 per couple.
Come and get your hands dirty at our Mosaic Rainbow Workshop — a relaxed, hands-on session where you and your child can create something truly special together 🌈
Working as a team, you’ll design and make a bright mosaic rainbow to take home, perfect for adding to a plant pot or displaying with pride.
🧩 What to expect:
All mosaic pieces are pre-cut, so there’s no cutting involved, but they can be sharp. This session is absolutely fine for little hands with adult supervision, making it a great shared activity for learning and creating together.
👨‍👩‍👧 Who’s it for?
Children aged 8 and over, accompanied by an adult.

🌼Mosaics🌼
Hayley was back last week at Coxhoe making Mosaics with our members. With lots of coloured tiles to cut, shape and glue onto the backing and all the info on how you can attach them to plant pots or a wall at home and the grout supplied to do so.
This is also a wonderful way to use up broken pottery or old broken/unused tiles and such fun to do with the kids/grandkids.
Share your mosaic numbers or makes in the comments below, as we've done this at almost all the groups now and know a Pimm's and Needles member when we see these door numbers up!

📖Educate, Inspire and Encourage
The theme for this years International women’s day in March is “Give to Gain” and is about giving support, resources and advocacy. 👭
To celebrate we are setting up a book giving table at our March sessions and are encouraging members to bring along a book they have read that inspired them, something they found motivational and encouraging or insightful or just a book that was a really good read and made them take some much needed time out. We are asking them to write in the cover what they loved about it or add a little notlet to the book.
📌One rule- You can only take one if you bring one.
A book swop is a lovely way to share some amazing literature, gaining new experiences from others and giving a little of what you've loved and enjoyed back to someone else. If you're not a member but wanted to join us in March as a guest (where space allows), you're also welcome to join in on this too.
Perhaps this could also be something you suggest doing at your workplace, social group or between female friends and family members, to celebrate the women in your life and "Give to Gain" for this years International womens day.

💛Feel free to also share some inspiring reads, thought provoking passages and lovely literature in the comments below, Don't forget to include the author and what you loved about it!
