Craft-fooder-noon

My sweet, sweet pals in San Marcos have been wishing and planning for a magical afternoon together. An afternoon where we eat the tastiest of food. Where we talk and talk and talk. An afternoon where we work on those unfinished craft projects from last week, or even from our days in Merry Miss.

Well, the dreaming came to an end over the weekend. This glories occasion happened and is now known as Craftfoodernoon.

We all showed up to Jess's house, guitars in tote. Crafts in tote. Food in tote. Heck, we looked like a group of homeless women about to exchange goods. We got settled in Jess's living room and promptly began... talking. Yes. Talking. Not eating or crafting. But talking. This is obviously the prime activity of a craftfoodernoon. But we did eventually get around to crafting. And eating. Check it out:

Not pictured: Michelle and myself. I'm not quite sure how I missed getting a picture of Michelle.

The food was also fantastic:

It was so nice to just talk and be together! I can't wait to do it again in January! 

Thanks ladies!

Look what I made

My friends, the Eskanders, have that cutest little boy there ever was. His name is Aidan. We went to movies in the park one night (Coraline) and Aidan asked me to make him a little red bag to put his lego men in. So I did. I didn't have a pattern or anything. I think it turned out pretty good.

Pay it Forward: 1 down, 4 to go

Hey people who read this, remember this post?

Well I'm still working on it! But I got 1 done.

Here's proof:

The model is my good pal Cassie. So, those of you I still owe a gift to... please know it's a work in progress!

Thanks,

Hat

A few blogs back, I committed to Pay it Forward. I have a year to complete this project, and a year is almost up. So here's what I'm working on for my 5 friends:

This is the first one. Russ calls it my Sprout hat. I hope to get better and send them out soon!
