Make a flag for our new bunting

Posted on by

craft fair clipartAt the monthly meeting tomorrow, pick up a bunting template.  You can use this to make your own unique flag for our new bunting to be on display at our Craft Fair at the Old Grammar School on Saturday 16 April 2016.

Colours are to follow the pastel themes on the bunting flags on our 2016 programme leaflet.  There must be a back and front to each flag.  Eighteen people will also be given black letters (to be attached as you wish) so that we can spell out ‘Market Harborough WI.’

Canadian recipe for you to try!

During our WI Centennial year we made contact with 2 WIs (or their equivalent Country Womens’ Associations) in Canada and Australia.  Shelagh, our contact in Canada is a keen supporter of her local WI and was delighted to receive several copies of our leaflet ‘Top Tips’, which she will be sharing with members later this year at their annual meeting.

In the meantime, Shelagh has kindly sent a recipe for Travelling Ginger Cookies from a similar, Canadian collection of favourite recipes.  Perhaps you’d like to try a batch for your friends and family?  You can download the recipe here. Travelling Ginger Cookies

If you’re on the refreshment rota for February, then it would be great if you could make a batch for members to sample at the meeting.

Needed – unwanted bras and new pants!

Posted on by

As you have your January clear out, maybe you have come across bras that didn’t fit or you just don’t like.  They can be teen bras or nursing bras, too.

Next time you buy some pants, pick up a spare pack, too (donations of these must be new!).  These can be for children aged 3 to 15 years or womens’, sizes 8 to 16.

Bring them along to a monthly meeting in January, February, March or April.  We’re collecting for Smalls for Africa.  We’ll be sending off our collection after the April meeting.  You can also speak to Vicky Watts at the next monthly meeting or email: marketharboroughwi@gmail.com

More details will be given out at forthcoming monthly meetings.  But, in the meantime, Get Crafting!

2015 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 12,000 times in 2015. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
