Eek! Have to reschedule!

So sorry to do this to you (really - I REALLY try to not reschedule), but I have to move the date of the next Crafting Cacophony.

And so... I hope to see at my door on

Saturday, November 10th

for some autumnal (well, if you work seasons ahead, bless you!) crafting fun.

I hope to see you there!

And, as always, I'd love to hear what you are working on. I'm working on some online photo albums, or maybe I'll paint (the walls! does that count as a craft?), and really - I'd love to make a few things for our growing little one. We'll see. Of course, I've got my full stack of barely-used supplies that I could do lots of things with.

Anyone have some inspiration for me?

Anyone doing anything for Christmas decorations or cards?

Blessings to you! See you on 11/10!

Announcement!

First, an apology. I have been a delinquent crafter and social planner. Sorry!

So, it's time to plan the next crafting cacophony. Unfortunately, (though fortunately for me!) I have a string of vacations coming up and am going to be rather busy. The next cacophony party must be a little ways out, but I wanted to get it scheduled anyway just to get back on track.

Without further ado, the next crafting cacophony will be

October 27th!

See you then!!!

Out of Town Contributor

I absolutely LOVE that Udandi participates in the Crafting Cacophony from afar. Very cool! And aside from Jazzy, she is my friend with the most consecutive attendance, so what does that say? ;-)

This time she finished her chunky book scrapbook, which I love, and also worked on the daunting task of making scrapbooks for many of her friends. That's a lot of work! I'm sure they will love it.


Thanks Udandi! See you next time!!

Thanks ladies!

What a lovely afternoon of crafting fun! We had four ladies participating: three humans and one pooch, who truly thought she should be the center of attention!


There was lots of yummy food...plenty of fructose to ease the guilt of all the sucrose!



Angie got caught up on some scrapbooking, making beautiful portrait albums for each of her kiddos. She makes beautiful layouts!


Kimberly got caught up on some knitting, making a baby (ok, toddler) blanket for a friend.


Jazzy really wanted to help her with the knitting.


I had a couple projects. First, I finished making the baby shower invitations that I need to get in the mail.


Then, we played with the baby blanket I'm still working on...and realized that the bias tape needed to be washed first.

Instead, I made another paper-covered notebook. This one will be a new prayer journal.


I've made a few of these notebooks now. I'm going to have to start making them for other people now...I'm running of reasons to make them, but they are really fun to do!


Thanks for the great afternoon! See you next time!

It's happening on Saturday!!!

The second Crafting Cacophony is this coming Saturday and I hope you all can come!

Hopefully, we'll even have an out-of-town participant again. That was cool! Udandi - are you coming?

I have a confession. I have not finished the project I was working on last time. I hope to finish that and work on some paper-wrapped notepads. I actually have made a couple of those since the last Crafting Cacophony. I need to work on things in order. Sheesh! I've got a couple other crafty projects working in my brain, so I need to hurry and get this first one done.

So - are you coming? What are you working on?

See you soon! Any food requests?

Gathering

The next crafting cacophony is coming up real soon - I hope you all can come. I need to move it by a week - sorry! In general, I'm really going to try to not do that. Hopefully it will fit better in your schedule, not worse.

The next gathering will be on Saturday, March 17, from 11:00-5:00. Come for all, or just for part.

Can't wait to see you and your projects!

Participating from a distance

One of my blog friends, Udandi, loved the idea of the Crafting Cacophony (turns out she used to do something similar and called it a Crafternoon, which I love) and was bummed that she couldn't come. She lives somewhere in the midwest, so... you know, she was a bit unavailable.

Anyway, she participated from afar, and had a crafting afternoon on Saturday to celebrate the beginning of the Crafting Cacophony. How cool is that?!?! You can read about it here.

She is working on making a scrapbook from a chunky cardboard book - this looks really cute.



I love that we had a long distance participant. Udandi - you are awesome!
