Camp Aloha Friends.......

Aloha Friends.......

Have you ever wished that you could pack your crafty suitcases and go on a Crafty Retreat....

Spending time with like minded people from all over the world....

Not all of us can do that that with work, family and cost

But.....

Camp can come to YOU!!!!!!

 

Yep, that's right , you can join in with Summer Camp without leaving the house!!!!! It's called "Camp Aloha Friends" and Mel from Singlehanded Knits, has organised a host of activities over the summer including.....

 

• animal husbandry
• tatting
• crochet
• embroidery
• card making
• scrapbook creations
• papercrafts
• knitting
• yarn dyeing
• sewing
• botanical pressing
• weaving
• Chinese knotting
• quilting
• creating special places for yourself
• journaling
• AND SO MUCH MORE!

 

All the classes are taught by "Camp Counselors" from all over the world, who love what they do and are passionate about their craft. You can check out all their smiley faces, here, if you keep popping back to Mel's blog over the next week, you can see what we are going to be teaching and a little bit about our backgrounds.

From the 15th June, until the end of September, there will be weekly, often daily, inspirational projects, some quick makes, taking an hour or so, then they'll be longer term projects and activities. You can take part live as they are posted or do them in your own time, whenever you are able to grab some time for yourself. Check out, Mel's video about camp, here, the pigtails are optional!!!!!

You now have two options on how to participate, you could be a DAY CAMPER, where for less than a couple of large Latte's from the coffee shop each week, you can purchase just the classes......

You will happily join in Camp Aloha Friends! ready to make, do and see all that you can! You may chatter on the Campsite & chatter on the Ravelry thread in the SinglehandedKnits group. You have all the same access anyone else, you just like to take advantage of what you have on hand in your crafty resources!

Or you can be a BUNKHOUSE BOARDER, where you get your "suitcase" packed for you.
