Off Topic so skip this if you only want to read craft posts.

On Monday my Avon lady, Lois, neighbour from three doors down, popped in to collect the Avon book and told me about the Biggest Morning Tea, breast cancer fund raiser, going to be held at the local Community Centre, organised by the sewing group there on Wednesday.
I didn't have a lot of time, but I managed to whip up Lyn's Apple Slice and off I went. (a very brave thing for me to do because I'm not good at mixing with strangers)
Anyway, I had a fabulous half a day there, meeting ladies of the group, buying lots of goodies from their stall and eating all the decadent, cream filled, iced and plain cakes. (took an allergy tablet and some Panadol (for the sugar overdose) when I came home)
None of the ladies does machine embroidery and it seems like their sewing class is more of a weekly morning tea, but many of them were interested when I told them about it. So, next week I am going to take the Diamond and give them a demonstration.
I'll add some photo's below but, other than the first one, which is my neighbour Lois on the right and Judy is the lady on the left, I'm afraid I can't remember many of their names. Still, I may join their Wednesday group, so they may become part of my world and I theirs.
The lady in the white slacks is another neighbour, Joan, from three doors down the other way. She is 80 years young and looked a million dollars in her hand crocheted cardigan. :-)
And the lady in the mob cap and old fashioned outfit is Thelma, what a hoot she was, lifting up her skirts to show off her bloomers. LOL!!!
They raised over $700.00 from raffles, the sales table and contributions.
Thanks for enjoying this little visit to a day out of my world.
