Pop Art and Pals
We’ve been creating some more pop art recently with Michelle from Rose Cottage Community Hub cic and despite some self confessed “non artists” all our members have been pleasantly surprised with their creations.
We’ve seen a lot of new members start groups too, many solo and we just wanted to share a little bit of information with regard to joining us.
You can start your membership any time, we don’t book in blocks anymore it’s a rolling monthly membership, taken via direct debit each month. Guest spaces are £19.50 and membership is £15.50 and each month you get a workshop with all materials supplied, refreshments and a raffle ticket for a prize draw each session.

Flying solo tables can be found at each group to sit if you come along alone, so you know others on that table either are or have started solo the same as you. If you’re nervous before you come, pop to Facebook and search Pimm’s and Needles (then add group location after) to join your groups page. Here you could pop up a post about yourself, ask if anyone is starting alone soon or willing to meet you outside. We promise someone will surly see it and make you feel welcome.
If you can’t make one month you are free to transfer to another location any time in that month. Meaning you don’t miss or loose out on a session (please note it may be something different running)
All details can be found online at www.pimmsandneedles.co.uk

Fab day today as judges in the Handmade Crafts Marquee at the Wensleydale Agricultural Show, we loved it! There was so much talent it was tricky to pick the winners.

We can come to you!
We know for some it might be too early to mention Christmas but alas it steams around regardless and we like to plan ahead.
So if you have a group, workplace or fancy an evening with friends and there are 8+ ppl we can bring this lovely Christmas door wreath workshop to you.
Perhaps at a local village hall, pub or workplace where we supply all you’ll need to make your own DIY door wreaths and you just come to relax, create and chatter during the festive season.
Email [email protected] for details.

Fancy being on our podcast? 🎙️✨

Got a small business, a passion project, a hobby, or just a story people need to hear? We’d LOVE to hear from you. We’re particularly interested in any conversations that might inspire someone or suport their mental wellbeing.

We’ve chatted about everything from ADHD, nutrition and houseplants… to beekeeping and even the perfect scotch egg 😂
If it’s interesting, inspiring, or a little bit quirky — it’s our kind of conversation.

Thanks to funding from Point North , our prerecorded episodes go out on Spotify + You tube to our lovely Pimm’s & Needles community and beyond.

Transfer printing- Richmond
joined us at Richmond group this week, bringing with her boxes full of botanicals, birds, beasts, vintage scenic vibes and patterns all printed onto special paper with specific ink that when placed onto fabric and subjected to heat and pressure, transfer onto some specially made zipped pouches that members get to enjoy forever.
Everyone starts off with the same options to chose from so it’s very exciting to see which direction members take their compositions in.
Gillian will making the rounds until Feb so may be at your local group soon! www.pimmsandneedles.co.uk to find out more

Podcasts-

For those members that have been around for some time, you may know Sharon Queen of Green from our Terrarium workshops that took place just after lockdown. She’s also a long time host of Northallerton, Richmond and now Bedale groups, so a face you’ll maybe meet along the way.
We’ve recently had Sharon on our podcast Bloom in Life, where she shares her passion for houseplants, how Queen of Green was born and some valuable lessons on keeping houseplants thriving in your space.
As well as the health benefits and the odd story or two about her lived experience.
Markets and workshops are her thing and she sells online too at www.queenofgreenhq.com

Gem trees 🌳
Stokesley group enjoyed making some of these lovely wire and gem chip trees this week. Choosing from colours and composing them in the positions they felt most happy with. At the end they all got to choose a silver charm to add to the tree if they wish.
Making these really lovely personal makes and perfect for gifting.

❤️ "The first-time nerves"
One of the biggest barriers for some joining Pimm's & Needles is walking in alone.
This is a recurring topic and conversation we have with many ladies who are "on the fence" about joining us......" I'm worried about coming on my own? I don't know anyone!"
We promise, so were most of us. Many ladies (over half!!) have joined solo and had to take that one, small, first step into the unknown.
We have tired to make it easier by having "Flying Solo" tables, where everyone is new and everyone is looking to meet people. We can help when you arrive by getting you familiar with some of our older members and committee and our hosts are always happy to help if needed.

We also highly encourage new members to drop a comment on to the groups page (search Pimm's and needles + groups location eg Pimm's and needles Bedale) you're joining, perhaps saying hello, asking if anyone wants to car share/meet you outside or would be willing to sit with you/show you the ropes. This is a great way to break the ice before attending.

By the end of the evening, you'll probably have forgotten you were nervous and will go home with a creative spring in your step and no doubt cake in your belly!! 💜

Fond farewells 🫶🏼
It is with a pinch of sadness but so many memories that we say goodbye to Nicky who’s decided to step down as our Lanchester and Chester le street host. Nicky has been part of the Pimm’s and needles family for a while now as a member and a host so she will be missed. We wish Nicky all the best for her future endeavours.
Our groups will be left in the capable hands of a long time member, so we’d like to welcome Amy Mitchell who will be taking over those groups as a new host and we wish her all the best for her new role.
Three cheers for Nicky 🥂………
