The second Dear Friend Workshop took place on Wednesday. There were a few new faces, and a whole lot of laughter. It's so nice having space to come together, build on friendships and form new ones. I left feeling really thankful to know these lovely people.
I had two activities planned for that day, and the first was decorating oversized wooden baubles. There was lots of freedom to do whatever they wanted with these baubles. I painted mine with blackboard paint and dipped the top in glitter.
There were all sorts of things to get creative with: glitter, ribbon, sequins, paint and buttons! Some people used pyrography and made the baubles into a christmas cards or gift tags. Other people used the pyrography to put jumpers on the little reindeers, which was absolutely adorable!
There was one glitter explosion, but no worries, there weren't any casualties...I am still finding glitter in my hair though!
Although most people spent their time on the first decorations, there were also small beaded hanging decorations to be made. These were made with beads, wire and ribbon. Beads and jewellery-esque things are always popular!
Thanks to everyone who came along. I can't wait for the next time!

Tomorrow we're putting up our Christmas tree! Is anyone else doing that quite soon, or do you have a strict "Christmas in December Only"-rule?
