Give GoodGymers the basic materials and they'll create something beautiful!

The task was set by Hive, asking for Christmas table or wall decorations for Portsmouth care homes.

We made centrepieces from nature's bounty, tealight holders that will send out Xmas colours and bunting to string across the dining rooms.

It was great to welcome Sadie to her first GG activity (good luck in the Southampton 10K, Sadie!) And lovely to have the growing GGers, Alice & Jack, to keep us entertained with their chatter!

And well done, you crafty GGers!

The arrival of the Pantry's Rapid Racking system as well as an IKEA delivery today meant that assembling furniture took precedence over the painting we were expecting.

We also had a bit of an Upstairs / Downstairs system going on, with Katie and Harry running point in the IKEA assembly, whilst Katie, Dave and Jen were up in the offices with the Racking.

Mallets, screwdrivers, allen keys and some unusual tubing were wielded and in just over an hour we'd assembled four storage racks, a Kallax unit and two sofas. Nice effort, everyone!
