Thursday we 'Celebrate' our new members. While I like to send each of you a private message when you join it is also nice to announce you to the group as well.

We have a 1M+ Youtuber joining us in a few months to teach us to draw something that fits inside a square 🥰 if you know what I mean. He would like to know what you would like to learn to draw. Choose from the list or add your own in the comments and I will let him know. This will be live so you can draw with him.

Friday is for rejuvenating and a great time to look back on the week. Share a win with everyone and cheer each other on. I know this might sound a little clique and everyone is doing it - but everyone is doing it because it matters. My win this week - I am having a chat with a sewing podcaster next week, who I have been listening to for a while now. I am looking forward to talking about creating beautiful well crafted items for the special men in our life. Gives yours a hug if you are near them. Your turn.

A simple repeatable method to making beautiful and interesting colour palettes that you can use? Last month we learnt a new way to look at the relationships of colour with Tracy. Now let’s make those relationships work for us. After that you can use the palette to make your first / next pocket square in our sew along later this month.

Congratulations @Debra Verrall @Christine Vabre @Auli Takala @Claire Amelia @Tracy Holmes I will send you a link to the download in the chat today. Each will receive 4x Printable .png papers plus links to folding these origami packaging. They are a beautiful way to gift the little things you make. If you have a Cricut you can use the designs with it too. These winner giveaways are random and can happen at any time. I hope you enjoy making something with these. x
