Saturday was a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG day. I had met up with Crafty Bunny and one of our friends to embark on a crafting adventure. Crafty Bunny and I started off early by busting out some Hip Hop moves downtown for an hour before meeting up our crafting companion. Smelly, sweaty and sticky we met up with our friend and made our rounds to various stores to collect some supplies we needed. About 3 hours later…. :| we made it to her house to assemble everything.
We were slicing, dicing, cooking, stuffing our face with pizza (oddly enough the slicing, dicing and cooking had nothing to do with food), getting our hands dirty as well as counter tops, listening to Spice Girls….wait did I seriously just expose myself by typing that…crap! Doing showdowns….inking it up, listening to Nsync…wait…crap! I never learn do I?
All our hard work paid off, and it was a great feeling to see the finished product. Sure it was 8 hours later and midnight…but we got it done, and it turned out great!
Yesterday evening I got a call…there was panic, there was worry, there was chaos! Just when you feel the warmth of success cuddle you like a feather down blanket, someone….something….goes and snatches it away from you! Once of our creations decided to rebel and now must go into crafting surgery. I will be picking up the patient this week, and I am hoping that a little TLC and crafting food will help mend it’s self.
Now I know this blog has been a bit vague….the events that took place, and what all was created, but there is a reason why. There is more to this story…but sadly Part Two must be told at a later date. Keep logging in, cause I will be following up on this one in the future! Oh and of course, there will be picture….OH WILL THERE BE PICTURES!

Sewing Extravaganza
We’re back!!! It has been crazy the last little while. We have busy catching up with friends, family, adjusting to a new job, shopping for the new job, shopping in general really (Bench. Sale
Last week the second crafting event was held for the local Craft Group I joined. It was a great get together! We all managed to get a lot of work done and help one another in the process. Sadly though I don’t think it was that exciting for my better half. He was a sweetheart and stuck though the night with us ladies, entertaining us with stories and he himself even made a pair of earrings! But don’t let him know I told you....
Saturday was a late night. It also could have been an early morning depending how you look at it. I stayed up until 4:30am cutting out patterns on fabric for new yoga bags! I managed to get 26 done, but I could potentially make 5 more if I desired. I also was able to find my 'Rice' fabric on the weekend, so I completed cutting out the pattern and fabric for my Halloween Costume. As you can tell I have a lot of sewing ahead of me. I tried to convince my co-pilot that he is an AMAZING sewer, and loves to sew, but no dice. Maybe next time hehe. Last night I was able to complete 3 of the yoga bags, and about 85% of my ‘Rice’ dress for my Halloween costume. I was glad for it to have been a fairly productive night, and not having to stay up until the next day was a huge bonus.
If I can keep up my current sewing rate, I should be done all of the yoga bags by October 20th, the day before my mom arrives to visit me. Wish me luck!!!Ill
