Thank you to all of the lovely ladies who attended my Little Laundress Workshop this afternoon! We had a wonderful time initiating Sweetpeas’ new bunglow classrooom with cupcakes and crafting.

I had a ball compiling the take-home class kits which ended up packaged in little hatboxes tied with ribbon and topped with a flowering clothespin. And of course I’m kicking myself for not taking a photo of the contents, but needless to say each was filled with all of the clothespin doll basics. The most fun though was preparing a ‘materials tree’ loaded with millinery flowers, miniscule flower pots and baskets, old cake toppers, tiny birds, bells and charms. And I’m pleased to report that everything was put to good use - look at the amazing dolls! Such a creative bunch!

And as there’s no rest for the wicked crafty, I’m now prepping for a new class in two weeks on June 28th: A Vintage Baby Shower! Scroll down for details.
