Crafty Wednesdays.

Every Wednesday a craft day is held. Groups of interested people who live in the Earthaven Eco Village area meet at homes to enjoy the camaraderie and sharing crafty ideas. I attended a couple of them with Geni and Kayla.

In November one was held at Rainbow's home, a 20 minute walk along Rosy Branch River in Rosy Branch part of Earthaven.

When Prince Otter, Bethany, Geni and I arrived Kayla and her friend, Katie, were already there. Kayla walked over the mountain and Katie lives nearby.

Rainbow has a earthy-home on a hill over looking the river in the valley below. She is very artistic and the house filled with her creations as well as signs posted with heart-warming sayings hanging on the tress along the pathway. She is Danish was has been living in Rosy Branch for some years now with her Jewish husband.

Everyone was offered tea and snacks and then settled in with their crafts. I did some colouring on Geni's bee-labels for her honey jars. Kayla was decorating hair clips, Katie was crocheting, Bethany doing art work and Rainbow decorating sweaters with contrasting yarn pieces. Later Lisa dropped by to join the group. She worked on a wool blanket, mending it. Prince Otter visited while others were busy. 

In early January Geni held a Crafty Wednesday. She was surprised to see number of adults and children arrive, men and women. The house was packed. It stated at 1:00 pm and lasted until 3:30 pm.

Crafty Wednesday is a good venue to gossip, get ideas, tell stories, snack and laugh. 

Every one had a project, knitting, crocheting, beading cutting out colourful pictures or writing.
