...making a mushroooooom!
I saw a post on Facebook about The Craft Club's project to create a scene from The Magic Faraway Tree in the garden at Little Haven's Hospice and although i don't know anyone who has been cared for there my Uncle was cared for in their sister hospice at Fair Havens and The Magic Faraway Tree is one of my favourite children's books. Besides, i saw that they were running a crochet group alongside the project and who doesn't love an evening of crochet? :D
So, i booked into the first class which was "Toadstools" and managed to recruit my friend Gee to join me which was great cos it meant we got to have a catch-up and i got to meet her 17 month old toddler properly.
We headed off to the group which meets in a room in the depths of Asda at Rayleigh, Essex and honestly, they couldn't have been more welcoming, such a friendly group of ladies :)
We were supplied with patterns and yarn and i started "Tommy the Toadstool" only it didn't come out quite as expected, so i decided to go FREEFORM! EEEEK!
There were quite a few of us crammed round the table frantically hooking, you could tell when everyone was concentrating cos it would go really quiet and then there would be bursts of chat and laughter. I really enjoyed it, have i said that already? :D

I'm actually really pleased with how my 'shrooooom came out, even though it was meant to look like this...
