Craft Night January 13th, 2010

It was sooo good to catch up with you crafty women! We had some funny mom, barfy, pukey stories. Updates on felitng workshops in the Fernie area and most of all good fun! I forgot my camera AGAIN!!! My husband even reminded me. Then, I forgot to use JP's camera to get pics of all our lovely peices. SO!!! not the next craft night but the one after...January 28th, please everyone bring items you have worked on and I will work on a gallery for us. I even think I can manage to figure out a flicker slide show for us Fernie Creative Minds. I will give a reminder for the 28th closer to the day. JP is not at the next craft night but I will make sure to be there and open the doors. Have a lovely week! Watch for lots of Posts, I am on a roll!!! AK.

Wonderful Knits!!!! Oh My! I need to Learn!

Ok. I have been thinking about it. Really thinking about learning to knit. I think at heart I will always be a sewer but I think I can convert for a little while....first I will have to learn the basics and get over my complete inability to read patterns of any sort. Check out some beautiful knitting and patterns at Magpie Patterns. There are also great patterns for sewing, embroidery and crochet.

JCasa Handmade Tutorial

I just came across this tutorial to make a child's coloring wallet. Now that Ilan is old enough to manipulate crayons, I carry ours around in a ziplock bag. This is the perfect solution! The only thing I think I would change is to put a velcro flap over the crayons to keep them from falling out. 

What went down.....

Again we had a few new people last night! WElcome M.F. and J.L! We missed you little R.P. Next time! I forgot to bring my camera to give you all a sampling of what went down so I thought instead I would compile a few tutorials related to what everyone worked on. M.F, your knitting skills are fabulous and all evening I couldn't wait to research different ideas for hot water bottle cozies. One is found here and here and here.

January 6th, 2010 Craft Night

Come on down to the first 2010 session at the Arts Station. I have been mulling over my plan of attack. Bring clunky sewing machine that I have to coach along, pleading and cajoling the whole way....a stack of nice fat quarters and a plan to make a quick simple tie quilt. K. my second plan. Finish a skirt. I will decide on the fly after wolfing down supper and saying goodnight to Ilan. See you guys there!!!!
