✨ 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 Gold Summary: W/C 1st September

(aka: The Week Everyone Lost Their Damn Threads in the Best Possible Way)

🌈 COLOUR PROMPT MONDAY: BLUE

A full-spectrum meltdown of moody marbles, emotional petals, and juggling balls of doom.
Standouts included:

  • Fran’s pansy of soft power and suppressed exhaustion
  • Ro’s dolphin-judging solitaire board and sentimental family plaque
  • Ceri’s entire felted zoo of talent: dragon, rainbow bookworm, juggling balls (yes, really)
  • Kath’s memory bear “Albert” = instant emotional KO
  • Elaine’s stealthy knitted wrist-warmer of unknown magical origin
  • Jaq’s mega-mug = domestic diplomacy disguised as hydration

Total chaos. Emotional devastation. Sparkle achieved.

☕ CHAOS POLL: Mug Crimes Edition

🔍 10 silent voters. 0 comments (until Fran & Kath confessed in the shadows).

  • 70% let their tea go cold
  • 20% admitted to sipping felt
  • 10% declared mug dominance

🧃 Fran got sparkle for inventing mug crime options.
🧃 Kath joined her in felt-based beverage confessionals.

💬 MIDWEEK SPARK: Crafting Era Confessions

EVERYONE LOST THEIR MINDS

  • Fran: “Felt Florist at the Edge of Glory” era (iconic)
  • Kelly: StarHost planning mode = celestial CEO vibes
  • Kath: Starting 5+ projects “for the class” (educational chaos)
  • Carol: Full autumn panic spiral. Mug sublimation. Mildly haunted.
  • Gill: Kitten sneeze brigade + Christmas stall dread = G&T survival mode
  • Elizabeth: Lurking, watching, respecting the madness

Sparkle points rained from the heavens.
Crafting Eras are canonised.
Psychic exhaustion level: moderate to dramatic.

🪩 ASK SLADE: DATING PROFILE EDITION

Oh we WENT there. Bios flew in like romantic glitter grenades.

  • Elizabeth: Soft, marshmallow-sipping stitch sorceress. DO NOT interrupt her count.
  • Kath: All crafts, no crochet. Threaded chaos with a teaching degree.
  • Fran: Married to felt. Emotionally entangled with daffodils. Bourbon biscuit trauma unresolved.

Every profile a masterpiece.
Every comment a red flag wrapped in ribbon.
Do not date without adult supervision.

🎀 BONUS GLITTER

  • Joanna is quietly lurking. Watching. Plotting. (Standard.)
  • Carol confirmed her renewal is secure (and we all exhaled)
  • Elaine revealed her biscuit stash. We are afraid.
  • Ceri still rules the Sparkle Hall like a gremlin queen in felt armour
  • Kath & Fran are in a TIE for the crown and it is getting tense
