Craft Tea Party

This weekend, saw the second of My Make Do and Mend Year’s Upcycling workshops! This time at the Craft Tea Party in Bath.

The Craft Tea Party was the brainchild of the lovely Janine, and was run in aid of Oxfam to celebrate International Women’s Day. Oxfam is working towards a world where everyone has enough to eat, and where women especially have the opportunity to earn a decent living.

Here are some pictures from the afternoon:

The only place in Bath where you can get tea and cake for £2! And all served of gorgeous vintage china

Delicious homemade cakes

The crochet and knitting workshop

The fabulous Suzi and her friends were there from Save the Children making more imapiece pieces

Mother’s Day brooch making from felted wool sweaters with the amazing Scrapiana

The lovely people from Food Cycle, making bunting from fused plastic bags-I really want to give this a go!

Making magnetic memo boards in my Upcycling workshop!

These gorgeous flowers were up for grabs in the raffle-I didn’t win 😦

£375 was raised for Oxfam. The work they do really can be life changing, and this was a fabulous way to spend the afternoon, raise some money for a great cause, and help to raise the profile of International Women’s Day.

A big thankyou to all involved, and especially Janine for all her hard work!
