Halloweeny Making at the Hub

This morning Lisa turned up to run her workshop but she knew that there would be lots of Children around for half term so she put on a special halloween making workshop. The clever thing about Lisa is that she always gets the activity just right. We started by making halloween lanterns. They looked great unlit but still we sent mum off to get tea lights and I went scouring the cathedral green for a smoker so I could light one. How come you can never find a smoker when you want one? Anyway eventually I tracked down a lighter and the lanterns came to life. Brilliant. 


Then we made pompoms the traditional way and crazy halloween pompoms the unconventional way. There is a photo of Lisa giving one a haircut below. 


Jane popped by with her family and Joe got well and truly stuck into lantern-making. There were a few unladylike snatches of the paintbrush (you do it Joe, I'll blog it!!!) and then he stuck the paintbrush behind his ear so noone else could use it...men!!! Bloomin' men?!!! I'm bitter and twisted because his lantern was really good and he got a red handle!


There was a point at noon when the crafting was in full flow, the floor was covered in a carpet of tissue paper and the room looked crazy and people started flowing in for coffee time. It was lovely to have so many visitors. A life coach called Eve who popped in, Heidi from Bonjour Tonton and her Theo, Lucie (who is running Reiki workshops) and her three children and then Tom Heidi's husband as well as a steady flow of ceiling-admirers. Then a lovely family came by who had had a crazy night in a campervan in Budleigh Salterton and had a cup of tea whilst the girls played. Today had the right flow of people - it was buzzing and busy and fun. 


After the campers had set off on their way, I visited a community gardening project around the corner which I really hope we will be able to be a part of in some way. We are not sure how yet but give it time. 


Tomorrow we have a one off baby signing for little ones between 2-2:45pm. This class is usually at The Mint but The Mint isn't available tomorrow so Sophie is bringing it to The Hub tomorrow. If you would like to know more ring Sophie on 07738 237928 or just pop along.
