We are busy ticking off the boxes on the great job plans Catherine has set up. Pam is busy sorting the raffle prizes - wow! you should see them. We have had a great response from so many people. There will be lots of people leaving the CCC with lovely prizes. I have my eye on the raffle quilt - seen on right (as do so many others no doubt). The Linus ladies made the picture blocks and our talented Norma G put them together and quilted it. This is just one of the eight fab prizes in the main raffle which also includes a gorgeous sea theme iced cake made by our cook/icing artist extraordinaire Josie and a hand made glass jewellery set by our 'queen of glass' Claire D. Claire has been also been painting sea creatures to decorate the hall and the foyer area promises to be amazing. She said she wants to be sure that everyone remembers CCC as the best show they have ever seen. Annie has her spare bed full of crafty items she has collected for the sales table, Desley is whipping up prizes and gifts on her trusty machine and June, Jan and Wendy have been busy with all the other jobs that keep popping up as the day nears. Joan is taking care of the finances plus lots of organisating too - better her than me. I like spending it not keeping track of it.
Me, well, I have to admit I took to my bed. Not in a fit of pique but as a result of a ruptured Baker's cyst in my knee which was just starting to recover from replacement surgery. However the team have been great - including DH - and with lots of help, from Pam in particular, the 'airing of the quilts' is almost sorted and it is now up to the weather whether we really get the quilts aired on the tennis courts or in the fishing club shed. We have over fifty quilts for the display.
I have been looking for a pirate hat and a parrot to go with my hop-a-long look as I do my job on the microphone on the day but so far have only been able to find a few feathers in my craft cupboard. I think a hired pirate outfit would clash with my CCC pinnie - you'll have to come and see - mmmm
