My perfect crafting day would start by waking up later than usual, but not too late. I think 8am is a good time. First drink of the day will be tea with soya milk (as usual) accompanied by a full English breakfast. All of this will be served to me whilst in bed, paging through a crochet magazine. *It’s my perfect day, so calories and fat content will not be taken into consideration today.
I’ll get dressed (wearing as much crocheted items as possible) to go to a Manor House with big garden in the countryside for a crochet get-together with fellow crafters and hookers. Of course, transport to the Manor House will have to be as effortless as possible. I’m thinking chauffeur driven car. No train or bus for me thank you!
My guests would be the ladies I’ve come to know on Facebook, WordPress and Blogger. These virtual friends would include all my blog followers, Cornel and Christelle from South Africa, Gerlene from Ireland, Lynn from Lancashire. I’d also like to meet Lucy of Attic24, Stephanie of ObeyCrochet, Meredith of OneSheepishGirl and La of LittleMessyLa. My artist friend Tia and of course, my Mom, has to be there as well. Can you image the fun we’d all have together?
The venue would have to provide us with an unlimited supply of tea, scones, clotted cream, finger sandwiches and lots of cake. See * above. The drinks and eats will of course be free – our mere presence in their venue is payment enough.
After a long crochet and crafting session, in keeping with the English theme, we’d all go off to the Rowan yarn factory shop (I don’t think it exists – I’ve Googled it so many times but with no success) where we’d buy lots and lots of yarn for next-to-nothing. A Rowan designer will then custom design a cardigan for each of us and give us the yarn to crochet the item, for free.
At the end of a long day of crochet fun, we’d go out for a fabulous meal and arrange to do it all again next week.
What do you think? Are you up for it? Of course you are!
Yeah baby, I’m up for it! Imagine, heaven! Meredith is touring the UK and France (more London and Paris I think) end of May after completion of her degree. You should invite her to meet up!
Well, that’s a sign Gerlene. I’ll just have to make it happen 🙂
Oh I’m there! When is the next flight?
Sounds great1
That sounds like absolute heaven Natasja! 🙂 I think everyone would certainly be up for that 🙂 I’m assuming sunshine, though not too hot, and a warm breeze would also be a perfect coincidence 😉
Have a lovely, dream perfect Thursday

Good idea Mo! A sunny 23 with a light breeze 🙂
Okay, I’m coming!! 🙂 Especially since it’s a day when calories and fat don’t count – damn, I should have mentionend that in my post, too 🙂 I’ve picked the wildcard for today as well.
It was nice to read about your perfect craft day!
Klink heerlik! Ek’s in! C x
What a brilliant day out. Can you get the limo to call up to Manchester and pick me up as well? My kind of a fantasy day too.
Definitely Jan!
…if you could ever create this magical event- pleaseee put my name on the list !!
xoxo
Ohhh yes please… add my name to your list too.
Great post! xx
I think you inspired many such days to come! The first few may only be in our imagination but soon these days may become reality. The quilters do them, some all night quilting! The inspiration flowing from the idea only is worthy to be grasped and soon changed into reality! Xxx
I think I do want in on your awesome day!

Thank you for inviting me as well. What an honour!! I accept in anticipation of a humbling experience: old lady, poor crochet pupil watching and learning from all those who excell. What a joy that would be! Love you lots, my darling.
