A hive of industry at the Silk Mill museum

For the last few weeks we have been busy as bees...

sewing...

                                                                           ironing...

 and photo transferring flags onto the corners of each banner, making sure we had the right flags on the right banners.

 Expert help from friends and family - thanks Kerrie and Ali

As you can see we were still able to do some light cat spotting. Nearly every day this little cat appeared in the museum courtyard.

At the Silk Mill Museum

We are very pleased to have been allowed to work in this space in the Silk Mill museum for a few weeks. Since Easter we have been working on a Cultural Olympiad project involving 17 secondary schools in Derby each making a banner which will be displayed at various events in the year running up to the start of the Olympics.

All to be revealed...........

Why I wonder am I trying to post at this time of night......  or rather the early hours. I should be fast asleep as we have an early start tomorrow.

Will tell later!!

You can't beat a bit of blue hydrangea petalling we always say!!!

A couple of weeks ago we were making well dressings at Quad. As usual we a had a lovely group of people drop in and have a go. Some enjoyed it so much they were there every day!!! We also had help from a group of eager beavers from Derwent beaver group.

We had a great time chatting and creating at the Roundhouse Derby.

We made over 100 bunting flags to promote Fairtrade Cotton in Fairtrade Fortnight.

Thanks also to the helpers from Oxfam who came along and encouraged people to decorate a flag, Jenny, Ann, Janet and to Ralph for bringing such a great display of Fairtrade information.

The bunting will be sent along to London for the World Record Attempt for the Longest String of Bunting in May.

Here are some of the bunting flags.
