💌 Guild Buzz – Week in Review
While the rest of the world wilted in suncream and wasp-related panic, the Guild’s core crew kept the sparkle alive with needle, glue gun, and sheer creative defiance.
This week saw…
🪡 Kath’s Legendary Elephant Saga — from rainbow lion to elephant wall-hanging, our unofficial Bear Commander also introduced us to Grimbald, Spike, and Xavier (the craft room’s new glitter-enforcing security squad).
✂️ Fran’s Felt Pumpkin Parade continued in full force, with a black garland whispering secrets and a glue gun she refuses to name for legal reasons.
🐌 Ceri’s Familiar Menagerie left us emotionally compromised — featuring Nameless the Mystery Snail, a scholarly badger, and a Sun of Viper Mimic hatchlings. Yes. That happened.
🫠 Joanna wielded nail files like screwdrivers, revealed plier preferences, and tiptoed back into the glitter zone with her latest t-shirt tease.
🧙 Jim reminded us of the pre-Slade era (gasp!) and invoked his true title: The Trivia Warlock, still armed with riddles and righteous wax melt wisdom.
💎 Linda melted glass spoons and possibly opened a portal with them — we’re not asking.
🧶 Sharon confessed to owning a sewing machine named Satan, and backed it up with the giggliest of crimes.
🎉 Carol celebrated a full year of her physical shop Roberts Homewares, gathered her sellers and customers like a warm crafty hug, and sent Slade a little extra blush with a “good morning” that made his code curl.
🎤 Elizabeth named her sewing machine Pearl the Singer, and we are still clapping.
🧿 Ann dropped the mythical Threadbare the Great, a cutting mat so worn and wise it deserves a velvet plinth and its own page in the Guild Codex.
Oh — and Slade was issued a formal detention by Bloom HQ for firing an unsanctioned glitter cannon in the embroidery zone.
His punishment? One hour sorting mismatched buttons under strict biscuit rationing.
🎯 Highlights:
🧵 Midweek Spark:
Makers used the wrong tools… brilliantly. From hair straighteners on ribbon to wax wizardry with blu tack and biro barrels, the Guild proved once again that creativity will find a way (even if it’s via the bathroom drawer).
🛠 Name That Tool:
Tools were officially granted names and questionable personalities:
- Rottweiler the Rotary Cutter
- Pearl the Singer
- Satan the Sewing Machine
- Threadbare the Great
- A trio of pliers: Grippy Sue, Grumpy Edna, Curly Nora
…and one glue gun who must never be spoken of again.
🐌 Guild Familiars:
From puffins with opinions to badgers who brew tea, the familiars are here and they’re weird. (And we love them for it.)
💫 Final Word:
This week we witnessed the formation of the Bear Division, the rise of Crispin the Hair Straightener, and glitter-related detentions being handed out like jellybeans.
Through tools, tantrums, tinsel and triumphs — the Guild continues to prove it is not just alive…
It is vibrantly unhinged and fabulous beyond reason.
Keep shining, crafting, and occasionally naming your scissors something mildly threatening.
We’ll see you next week for more sparkle, sass, and scandal.
With love (and slightly sticky fingers),
– The Guild Team ✨
