Albany Creek...

Last Wednesday the Knit and Natter group at the Albany Creek library had our last meet up for 2013.





 So that meant some special treats for morning tea...here are just 2 of the items we had on the table...

Fruit cake filled with lots of nuts...

Shortbread in the shape of Christmas trees...


And of course a Knit and Natter also meant more lovely items being brought in for K4BN...


crocheted blankets from Margaret...


 Knitted toys from Debbie...





I mentioned to the other ladies, the email from Karen (the founder and boss of K4BN) that I had read that morning. Apparently a community group had contacted Karen asking if K4BN could help 2 families who were in quite dire straits. No one else could recall such an email on the forum so now that I'm the proud owner of a 'dongle', thus having internet access when I'm out and about, I used my phone to check my emails...but the email wasn't here! I then checked Facebook and there was the message on the K4BN page...and that's why my friends had not seen it! So we read it out and everyone discussed how they could help. One lady, Noeline offered to donate a dolls' house and I offered to collect it from her place...which I did.
One photo before the house is put into the boot (trunk).


We put all the dolls' house furniture in this bag...


And I also got some plant cutting from Noeline's garden...how Maria-like! lol


The dollhouse and furniture, along with quite a few other items that have been collected will be given to a needy family early next week.

I think I might just have to move to Brisbane - you have so many knit and natters up there and obviously they're lots of fun. We must be a boring old lot down here in Canberra - the only group I attend that's like a knit n natter is our craft group at CWA. That dolls house is cute - a lovely gesture to be helping a family in need. xoxox
