First off, I went for a Crafty Cuppa with Laura from Bugs and Fishes. I follow Laura's blog and was excited when I saw she was organising these meet ups in museums, which is a great opportunity to visit some amazing buildings and see inspiring exhibits. I also met Julie and Carina, it was a pleasure to meet such a talented bunch!
We met at the Natural History Museum. It is a beautiful building with so much to see. However, we spent most of our time in the café, chatting about all things craft, blogging and general chit chat over tea and cake.
Julie and Carina told me about a blog they run with Nicole - &Stitches. Their blog is all about stitching and focusses on embroidery. I'm in awe of the talents showcased on the blog! The &Stitches team have organised picnics in Hyde Park, I am gutted I can't make the dates but I hope they are successful so they do more. If you want to stitch in the park with a picnic and meet other crafters visit here for more details.

Laura has organised more meet ups in some of London's fabulous museums over the next few weeks. To find out what she has planned visit her blog here.
Also this week I met these lovely ladies ~ The #CraftBlogClub crew (I'm on the left squinting at the sun, Emma is in the Middle and Katie is on the Right) |
I hope to meet you lovely ladies again soon!
There were floral displays like this all over Nottingham, I particularly liked this tea pot |
I plan to go to more of the Crafty Cuppas and I hope it's not too long before the #CraftBlogClub crew meet up again. I am also going to the Crafty Catch Up Club arranged by Zoe from Ladybird Likes, this is happening in London on July 10th, interested?? Find out more here. Hopefully I'll see you there.
