december meeting

we all really enjoyed ourselves on tuesday at our christmas party/ meeting.
we munched on some delicious homemade mince pies, shortcake, spice cake, pecan and orange snowballs and almond macaroons and drank lots of tea and coffee.
we also got to cover our eyes and rummage with our hands in a big black bag - it was secret santa time! the presents were a-plenty and so well made!
may you and yours have a peaceful christmas and a new year full of happiness!

our next meeting will be held on the 6th january at 7:30pm in the lagan room at the ulster folk and transport museum, cultra, county down.
we look forward to welcoming some more new faces!

november meeting

at our november meeting (4/11/08) we were treated to a complete demo of weaving with a four-shafted loom by the ever-entertaining rosemary from the ulster folk and transport museum. she ran through everything from winding the weft to threading the loom and at the end we were all invited to do a little weaving ourselves. so informative!

i'm already looking forward to the rest of rosemary's demos later on in the season.
