French Knots Craft Studio

To Russia with Love

The response to my invitation earlier this year to come to the studio to make bracelets to send to a charity working with Russian orphans was wonderful. So many of you came with your families and made bracelets, just a small gift to send half way round the world but sending a bit of love from Sale with it. 

Orphan Outreach delivered 35,000 bracelets, yes 35,000. Imagine our bracelets with thousands of others being greeted with smiles like these.

 
So thank you, for helping, for caring and for being part of Craft Hope's wonderful Project for Orphan Outreach.

Creativity Galore!

The Craft Open Day was a great success thanks to all the kind people who came to help make bracelets for Orphan Outreach, 150 in total! What a brilliant package to put in the post, sending love from children here to children in Russia.

 
So much colourful creativity, even the youngest children enjoyed threading beads and playing with colour.

 
With delicious cupcakes kindly donated by Heather's Cupcakes to keep our energy up we crafted all day. It was wonderful to use the Studio for such a special project. Thanks to Craft Hope for telling us about it.

Free Craft Workshop 21st May

On Saturday 21st May I shall be flinging open the Studio door and inviting you to come and craft for charity!

Craft Hope have launched a new Project. Orphan Outreach are travelling to St Petersburg in the summer and want to take handmade bracelets to give to the children they are working with. There are over 1 million children waiting for a home in Russia and looking at my own children I wanted to get involved. Using the Studio is the perfect answer.

I have beads, buttons, ribbon, elastic and fabric and need as many people as possible, adults and children, to get creative so we can send a bit of love from Sale to St Petersburg.

Call in between 11 - 4 on Saturday 21st May, yes that's this Saturday!
