Buttons!!

It was another full house at the (new) crafting quarters with Lynn, Sadie, Jean and Moi all in attendance and with special appearances from a significant little dude in his orange stripy p.j's and his sweet dog Noah.

I started some gift cards using some basic sketches of sunflowers and hummingbirds and sewing/stitching color details onto them. Jean made progress determining paper size and cutting card stock for use in turning her amazing photos into cards. Lynn continued her work on a darling multi-fabric skirt to use in her clogging performances and Sadie, our most prolific crafter of the eve, finished the Emo book, made at least one coin purse and altered her awesome tiger jean jacket, turning it into a vest (and came up with some cool ideas for use of the sleeves and cuffs off of said jean jacket.)

BUT, the best part of this GGM session was our sweet and oh so cool gift from Miss Misha, our girl who stayed wild and moved to New Zealand. She very cleverly crafted these great rings, using a bit of elastic and buttons! She also made us each a very personalized and sweet gift card. Thank you Misha!! Sadie took the gorgeous green ring, Lynn chose the very pretty and delicate white ring, Jean, of course, needed to have the bold and fashionable red ring (she is our resident fashionista) and I claimed the lovely yellow flowery ring, I'm really into yellow and green these days. :)

Twas a great night with our usual libations and an additional delicious treat, vegan brownies baked by Lynn. Going mild has it's perks. :) Until next time....

  2. The rings were all so lovely that, although we were each prepared to fight for the very best one, it was actually quite a civilized divvy session. We all would have been happy to have any of the four rings! Thank you, Miss M!! And Miss K, for the lovely write up :)
