When & where

Yesterday we had planned to meet at Het Cryudenhuisch for a Turkish delicacy workshop by Sumak Eindhoven. But we had to postpone that for 6th October. (I hope everything is well with you now @Aysegul. Looking forward to meeting you in two weeks.)

Hi ladies ! Megha asked me to write a few lines about today’s meeting. It was just the two of us but we had a lot of fun putting together the crochet heart appliques and discussing about all kind of things from family stories to the uncertain evolution of the Covid situation, also including topics about hair length, anger management, Creative Town (Yolima's shop)...

For the second one, I wanted more green and no yellow, but just two colors was not satisfying so I added a bit of grey. Megha was very lost at that point but she wanted to use some blue, I told her that the blue, red and grey were nice together, but it reminded he…... Read More
