Good Times, Good People

We had our first Northern Craft Bonanza get-together last night, and it was lots of fun. Just a small group of peeps, a diverse range of hand-held and small projects, good food and drinks, and really, really, really great conversation and company.

That's the best bit. The sitting around and talking about the real stuff, the things that matter to people, the things that make our hearts beat a little faster, the things that keep us lying awake at night sometimes, the good and the bad. I always feel so contented when I spend time with good people.

As is often the case when I'm having a great time in the company of others, I didn't even think about taking a photo. I saw some cameras though, so perhaps someone else will posts some pics here or on their blog.

We'll meet again next on Thursday 28th Jan. Same time and place. Maybe we'll see you there.

Maybe you're going to be part of the Northern Craft Bonanza this year and you're interested in joining me as a contributor on this blog. I'd love to have some company. Email me at tinniegirl(at)optusnet(dot)com.au.

  3. I'm so sorry I didn't make it, it sounded heavenly! Craft, munchies, good conversation... what more could a gal ask for?
    Thursday nights are a bit tricky for me, with getting the bubster to sleep and getting ready for work the next day, getting ready for the babysitter etc etc. But I will try try try to make it one Thursday night soon...
    So proud of you for getting it off the ground!

  6. I hastily emailed some crafty friends yesterday and said 'can't go tonight, but who wants to go next time?!' We're aiming for the 28th. It'll be nice to put faces with names :)
