Goings on at the 'Hoot n cat'!

Last Sunday I was pleased to making my way back down to Kelso

 for another Boxoftrix 'Inchie' workshop   

This time the hosts were Susan (left) and her daughter Russett (middle) and Aimee

Susan is the owner of The Hoot & Cat the workshop was a fun get together day for some of the staff. The cafe was an ideal setting with lots of space and of course we sampled some delicious food for lunch and also some very tempting traybakes after with a Latte..... spoiled indeed!

framing up, getting the position right!

It was dark by the time everyone had got their inchies framed up so it's not a very clear picture, these early dark nights in Scotland don't help my photography at all!
 but don't these look good enough to eat!

The Hoot n Cat

A delightful place you most definitely must visit if you are ever n Kelso. Situated in the Knows it's very popular with the locals as well as visitors to the town, not surprising as the food is delicious and plentiful, Charlotte and I popped in for lunch again on Thursday while visiting my Claire, I had a chicken tikka Panini and it was so delicious and filling I couldn't finish it! I had no room to sample a tasty treat from the tray bake and cake selection, but there is always next time ;)..... it was the ideal stop off on our way to the garden centre.

Crochet curtain motives

 Two more motives to share ..

My little pile is growing at a very slow pace,
 but it was never going to be a quick project working with such intricate patterns.

'Motive snowflake'

from 'hook yarn and crochet'

I liked this one so much I did two!

'Round snowflake' from the same book.

Christmas 'Inchie' workshop in Kelso

Once again the ladies in Kelso gathered for another fun filled Inchie workshop, 

and here they are......all contentedly stitching away....

Elaine played host this time in her lovely home ..... 

The ladies who did the workshop last time wanted to make Christmas Inchies

......there were some new faces too!

these young ladies chose to do lovely pastel themed ones

 which were very pretty!

with more than a few giggles too!

I do enjoy meeting up with these girls they are such good fun.

Elaine (in the coral top) planned a fabulous lunch.

Her lovely friend Kate (right of Elaine) came along and helped her serve to us all, 

she then joined in the fun helping out with little bits here and there joined in the chat.

It was a fabulous day they all worked hard to get the edges on their Inchies stitched so they could get them framed up before leaving..... most managed this ....again I was very impressed!

It's always so hectic at the end of the day!...never time to take pictures of the finished pictures but here are some pictures taken by some of the girls of their own work.
