✨ Something Golden This Way Comes…
Each week, we’ll be picking the best bits from across the Guild — the moments that made us laugh, cheer, cry into our glitter, or fall in love with a fluffy studio companion.
From standout makers to legendary chaos, Guild Gold is where the sparkle settles and the highlights shine.
Check back soon to see who made the cut — and maybe, just maybe… it’ll be you. 💛
✨ Guild Gold is our way of quietly celebrating the crafters who light up our community — not with sales pitches, but with heart, kindness, and creativity.
Whether it’s sharing your latest make, cheering on a fellow member, or simply bringing joy to our threads, Guild Gold is about recognising the spirit that keeps The PCG shining bright.

💌 GUILD BUZZ — Behind the Scenes this Week 💌
While half the UK is chasing wasps with rolled-up magazines and pretending they packed enough suncream, the Guild’s glitter core is very much still at work.
✨ Kath has taken up the mantle of mid-August mischief with her rainbow lion, her fear of glitter (noted), and a gothbear named Grimbald who may be legally cursed.
✨ Ceri has quietly summoned half a coven of stitched familiars and one scholarly badger with impeccable taste in tea.
✨ Fran floated in a black garland that looks like it whispers secrets.
✨ Linda‘s puffin has opinions and presence.
✨ Joanna is mid-t-shirt project (and possibly mid-glitter explosion).
✨ Carol celebrated a full year of running her shop — and we were so proud to share her milestone with the world.
✨ Jim remains our Flannel Paladin, mysterious and noble. We just know he’s watching from the shadows, armed with wax melts and dry wit.
There’s no chaos poll this week (oops), but don’t worry — we’re saving up the nonsense and it’ll be back next Tuesday like a glitter bomb in a biscuit tin.
The Buzz right now?
Even when it’s quiet, this place glows. The core crew is steady, creative, and as beautifully ridiculous as ever — and we love you for it.
🧵 MIDWEEK SPARK RECAP: “That’s Not What That’s For…”
This week’s prompt brought out the best of Guild chaos and creativity. From hair straighteners flattening ribbon to nail files unscrewing boxes, our makers proved once again that crafting innovation knows no bounds. Kath revealed she basically is a travelling sewing toolbox, while Fran casually curled felt petals with heated hair tools. Add Ro’s ribbon tactics, Christine’s loyal paintbrush, and Joanna’s nail file screw-wrangling, and you’ve got a DIY masterclass that no one asked for but everyone loved.
💫 Guild Buzz — Final Word (Week of 11th August) 💫
This week we witnessed the formation of the Bear Division, the rise of Crispin the Hair Straightener, and the near-arrest of Slade for glitter cannon violations. Fran issued disciplinary action via bobbin, Jim invoked the power of the snozz, and Kath slowly revealed her entire craft room might be classed as an armoury.
Tools were renamed. Ribbons were straightened with heat. Buttons were sorted under duress.
And through it all, the sparkle never faded.
This is your Guild. Weird, wonderful, warm — and so very alive. 💖
Remember, in the Guild:
🧵 Your paintbrush has a name,
💅 Your nail file is a tool of legend,
🐻 And nothing is safe from being fabulous.
See you in the Glitter Hall.
