We had two days at sea and were lucky enough to have a lady called Jan Allston who was doing craft classes so my friend Eileen and myself went along..
The first thing we made was a collage postcard using different fabrics creating a backgound and of course a printed version of our ship the Magellan which doesn't really show up very well.
Wednesday morning we made this little patchwork owl pincushion...
in the afternoon we started to make a sampler of Boutis work.....
I'd never heard of this but if you google you will see it means 'Stuffing'....its really embriodery which you then stuff....hard to explain but looks amazing when finished...hopefully I will get my sample finished at some point to show you...
We meet some lovely ladies in our craft classes and had a great laugh along the way....
Back to the normal housework chores.....its coming very hard having been waited on hand and foot for a week.....
Will try to catch up on your blogs in the next few days to see what you'[ve been up to...
I hope to be back card making at some point next week...
Have a great weekend...
Anne

It is indeed a lovely location to cruise Anne and so pleased you enjoyed yourself, it's a few years since we did that one or the baltic as hubby prefers assured heat !
I remember on one of ours there were craft sessions, I was very tempted to go then our daughter said what a silly idea as I would't be able to stop myself dabbling and she was probably right. Confess I did go and have a peek though the door though !
Not familiar with your ship but it's a really lovely layout and what a super way to keep the memory to reflect on a lovely cruise.

Great that you managed to fit in some crafting on your cruise and some good makes to bring home.
Your post card is an enchanting keepsake - you could do the same with torn paper. Love the needle case!
What a delightful way to spend a week at sea. I would love to go to Norway by plane or ship. So glad you had a nice time Anne.
