The 30th of March saw our first ever meeting in Odd bar in Manchester's Northern quarter. Aside from wine, giggles and some amazing cakes it was definitely the start of some fantastic Ideas and good times to come.
Before we even descended to our basement meeting area, there was a buzz about the bar with enquiries from blokes wandering if this was an exclusively female group. The answer boys, is no. If you want a safe haven to discover your inner Crafty Bitch then you are more than welcome to join - see our facebook page for details.
Once the wine was poured and we had fuelled ourselves with Sarah and Tracey's lovely baking, it wasn't a case of trying to coax ideas for future meetings out of people, rather write them down fast enough.
Ideas from Yarn bombing (the coolest form gorilla knitting) to nipple tassel design, laughing yoga to a book club, ceramics to swishing, jewellery design to cocktail mixing, talks on sex to bee keeping were all put forward for future meetings.
The more the wine flowed, so did the ideas... and the laughing until after about an hour I realised my face was aching from grinning so much.
Everyone contributed, and every idea was a great one - the question now is how are we going to fit it all in?!
The quote of the day goes to Katy D on Sarah's cup cakes "This is the best thing to ever happen to my mouth" - which pretty much sums up Sarah's skills in the baking department!
Lyla is busy putting an event's schedule together for our future meetings so watch this space and make sure you get in touch via our facebook page if you would like to come along.
