Sweet Herts Sisters get crafty for Christmas





Thanks to everyone who came along to our Xmas Crafts session on Thursday and a warm Sweet Herts welcome to all the new Sisters who joined us - it was so nice to meet you all! We had a great time sharing all our crafty materials and bright ideas.





The time just flew by in a flurry of "pass the sequins" and "ooh that's nice, I think I'll copy you!" and before we knew it, it was last orders at the pub and we were furiously glueing and cutting to finish our last pieces before chucking out time! We had a really laid back, fun evening; got to know each other, had a chat and a laugh over a glass of wine and still somehow managed to create a whole load of cards and gift tags between us. Well done Sisters - impressive work!




We were really excited to hear everyone's fab ideas for future events - and will definitely be putting some of them into action in 2010. If you have any suggestions or would like to host a workshop/event, we'd love to hear from you... email us at sweetherts@hotmail.co.uk



So.... watch this space for dates and details of our events for 2010. We've got big plans, starting with a cupcake decorating workshop which I'm super excited about!! (Am I the only person who loves to bake cupcakes and then take photos of them?!) Also in the pipeline for 2010 is a fascinator making workshop with Caroline of Caroline Couture, Harpenden and a trip to the V&A.




Plans for our first charity event to take place in spring 2010 are also underway..... can't confirm any details yet, but it will involve cake, tea and pretty dresses!!! (Three of my favourite things in life!)

Crafty ladies love Christmas!


Ho ho ho.... Dust down your coloured card, sharpen your scissors and get out your glitter as we get ready for the Sweet Herts Sisterhood Christmas Craft event this December!

Freestyle Christmas Crafts Evening: Thursday 10th December 2009, 19:30 - 22:30 at The Red Lion Pub, Hatfield http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&q=the+red+lion+pub+hatfield&ie=UTF8&hq=the+red+lion+pub&hnear=Hatfield,+UK&ll=51.786533,-0.261269&spn=0.097056,0.220757&z=12&iwloc=C

We're on countdown to Christmas and we thought it would be a good idea to save a few pennies and host a free event for our next meet up.

Just bring some of your own craft materials and a creative spirit and we'll see what we come up with on the night. It will be a great way to share ideas and have a natter over a glass of wine or two...

Card making, personalising decorations, gift wrapping, table presents.... anything goes! Share your crafty ideas by leaving a comment here or post on the discussion board on the facebook group.

It's been great to hear from lots of you crafty ladies who are interested in joining us. It seems there are lots of likeminded crafty ladies in Hertfordshire. We're really looking forward to meeting you all on Thursday! Welcome to the Sisterhood, ladies!

If you would like more info or would like to join our mailing list for regular updates, drop us an email to sweetherts@hotmail.co.uk or join our facebook group (just search for Sweet Herts Sisterhood)



Oh, and by the way... we've got some really exciting workshops and events in the pipeline for 2010, we'll keep you posted as soon as we have full details (A couple of clues.... cupcake decorating and fascinator making..... eeek! I CANNOT wait!!)
