Wonderful woodland yarn bombing event this month
Our Vice-President, Carmen, has come across this wonderful woodland yarn bombing event, including interesting wool-based workshops to be held in Rushcliffe Park, Ruddington, Nottingham on Sunday 17th and Sunday 24th May:
We are not arranging an organised trip this time but we encourage you to have a look at these websites and, if you do plan to go, let Carmen know (marketharboroughwi@gmail.com) so you can wave knitting needles at one another across the woodland!
Bath time skills bonanza
Bath time is going to be a superb treat over the next few weeks. At the recent Skills Raffle, member Anne Clayton donated her skills in making bath salts, bath bombs, soap and handwash liquid. Anne ran a wonderful session for myself and friend Jan, expertly taking us through all the skills and techniques needed to make these products. We just had to take ourselves and aprons We even had tea and sponge cake to round off the afternoon. Great fun. A chance to make new friends, too. Thank you.

Gary Johannas and Caroline Prout engaged members last night with a fascinating insight into how our brains work: front brain and primitive brain (dealing with phobias, anxiety, depression and anger). It seems we have a bucket where these things go so we can use our sleep to process them. However, when it gets too full, it all goes wrong! We discovered that what we need to do is to think positive, active positive and interact socially positively. We can start by identifying at least one good thing each day.
Bring plants and garden paraphernalia for our raffle tonight
