 At our meeting on Tuesday 8th October which was held on the wetest evening so far this year!! We all created some  interesting canvas art! I have to be honest some were a lot better than others that defo includes mine.

 Some of the  members have a wonderful hidden talent and some did not!

It was organised by our lovely talented  member Julie, who is a great crafter and showed us how to bring out our creative side.

See a asmple of the magnificant creations, Members agreed they really enjoyed the whole evening.

                         Teddys evening out! 


Teddy was allowed to stay up late as a special treat so he could come along to Glevum WIs meeting on14th May.🧸


Teddy was hoping to meet some relatives,  who he hadnt seen in quite a while, 
The evening was very interesting, all members including Teddy really enjoyed the speaker Lorraine Hichings and her knowledge of The Teddy Bear.
Teddy was very happy to see and hear all the gossip from his vast family members, Paddington had been especially  busy and had lots to tell everyone!
Teddy took full advantage of the refreshments available.
After having a lovely evening, Teddy fell asleep in the car going home 😴











A Big Thank you to all involved in the knitting of these faboulous items!! Great Job Glevum
