The Whitechapel Centre Call For Donations....

 "The Whitechapel Centre is the leading homeless and housing charity for the Liverpool region. We work with people who are sleeping rough, living in hostels or struggling to manage their accommodation. We are committed to helping people find and maintain a home and learn the life skills essential for independent living."

Through out August & into September, Girl On Purl Action is going to be working with The Whitechapel Centre, teaching its service users how to knit & crochet!

We will be working on a community based project for Saint Francis Xavier's Church to decorate the Church for a weekend of celebration for the restoration of the Ignation stained glass window for now. You can read all about it here.

The Church does a lot to support The Whitechapel Centre & they would like to be involved to give back something to a community based project, whilst developing skills of their own along the way! There is a weekend of celebration to be held 12th-13th September in which the display will go up.

However we need the help of the community. We are asking for donations of any colour or amount of double knit yarn. 

If you are based in Liverpool then you can drop of your donations to me directly every other Monday at The Everyman Theatre 7.30pm-9pm during our free craft meetings. Click here for a list of dates.

If you cant make that then please feel free to deliver them to The Whitechapel Centre directly!

Im hoping to set up another city centre based drop off point this week!

From all of us from both The Whitechapel Centre & Girl On Purl Action, thank you!

A Catch Up coz I am Rubbish!

First of all let me apologise for being so quiet of late, I work a day job 3 days a week, work in The Duke Street Bazaar 1 day a week & then weekends are always events! I've also been away on a gorgeous family holiday (first one in 9 years!) which was much needed. Sadly whilst we where away a friend of mine & my boys died so once back we had the funeral.

Family selfie! Horrible but hilarious!

This was the view from the cocktail bar, yeah I nearly cried leaving!

It's also been an insanely busy two months! I have JUST caught up with my emails & as soon as we got home had to hit the crafty ground running!

My inbox was full of commissions, places in want of workshops & I had 2 major events to partake in (more on them in a later post), events to decorate & lots & lots of family occasions!

Small amount of baby shower decorations!

Friends Birthday Treats!

Little Sisters Graduation!

I've been run down for about 2 weeks now & in lots of pain with my kidneys so Im writing this at 3.50pm on a rainy Sunday afternoon, still in my pyjamas under the duvet as starting tomorrow life returns to what has become "normal". I, however am not complaining as its brilliant at the moment (although the cat is driving me mad!)

So this week be warned! There will be multiple blog posts! I have a lot to tell you all & a favour to ask so keep your eyes peeled!

I also need a new title for this blog as its a bit poo & I'm having some issues with Eastern European search engines....another reason for me being so quiet! All suggestions welcome!
