Here are some of the projects that our flock was working on... Above is <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/PickyPickyShop" target="_blank">Beky's owl embroidery</a>. This is from a vintage Avon embroidery kit. Go Beky!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/4640853286/" title="Church of Craft 10 by sugar-cookie, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3336/4640853286_c4ea4b6b77.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="Church of Craft 10" /></a><br />Elizabeth was making felted toys from needle felted wool. Here she is with one of her creations. the colors are lovely!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/4640855200/" title="Church of Craft 8 by sugar-cookie, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4030/4640855200_47344901a5.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Church of Craft 8" /></a><br />Elizabeth's daughter, Clair, worked on some drawings with some really nice scented markers. We all sniffed her marker collection to guess the scents. We had a difficult time with some of the colors!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/4640240981/" title="Church of Craft 14 by sugar-cookie, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4039/4640240981_bcc13be020.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Church of Craft 14" /></a><br />Clair worked on some buttons, too. She made the little drawings and I cut out the circles for her. I showed everyone how to use the button press. What neat buttons, Clair!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/4640859796/" title="Church of Craft 3 by sugar-cookie, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3402/4640859796_19b9628c02.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="Church of Craft 3" /></a><br />Gary claims he is not an artist, but he helped make lots of buttons!<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/4640861652/" title="Church of Craft 1 by sugar-cookie, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4068/4640861652_8d0f839230.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Church of Craft 1" /></a><br />Here he is holding one of my newest button designs! It is a honey bear.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/4640858960/" title="Church of Craft 4 by sugar-cookie, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4069/4640858960_cd45a2937b.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Church of Craft 4" /></a><br />Beky joined in button making and got creative making some buttons with embroidered images on them. Here she is with her felt and thread creations! One button is a kitty, the other is a little heart.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/4640246977/" title="Church of Craft 7 by sugar-cookie, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3395/4640246977_3093b3de5f.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Church of Craft 7" /></a><br />Raoul sewed some pouches. I think he made three during our meeting.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/4640848598/" title="Church of Craft 15 by sugar-cookie, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4063/4640848598_25d7be5fde.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Church of Craft 15" /></a><br />And I worked on some buttons as well as some felt French toast.

This time Elizabeth hosted and we had a lovely time getting together to craft some!! Here is some of the goodies we worked on...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/2522323570/" title="jenny's handmade loom for making a beaded belt. by sugar-cookie, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3102/2522323570_4ff48329e9_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="jenny's handmade loom for making a beaded belt." /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/2521511277/" title="jenny's beaded indian belt. by sugar-cookie, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3142/2521511277_bea5c8b006_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="jenny's beaded indian belt." /></a><br />Jenny brought her beaded belt to work on. Look - she drew her pattern on graph paper and is now making an Indian belt for her "rendezvous." Jenny is so patient to work on such a detailed project. Waaay more patient than me.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/2522307906/" title="my slow going knitting! by sugar-cookie, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2119/2522307906_f048c8f3f5_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="my slow going knitting!" /></a><br />I worked on my little Blythe doll sweater, but I had a hard tome being focused. I had to frog some of it cos I forgot to purl when I should have knitted.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/2521455437/" title="harley helped me draw. by sugar-cookie, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3029/2521455437_c3be9ea25d_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="harley helped me draw." /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/2522286410/" title="harley helped at church of craft, too. by sugar-cookie, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3063/2522286410_84a8e790db_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="harley helped at church of craft, too." /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/2521461805/" title="harley's paws. by sugar-cookie, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2181/2521461805_e0d780ec43_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="harley's paws." /></a><br />Good thing I had Harley there to help guide me.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/2522297134/" title="paul came over, too. by sugar-cookie, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3054/2522297134_98bd256327_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="paul came over, too." /></a><br />Looks like Harley really helped Paul, too!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/2522303752/" title="elizabeth drawing some comics. by sugar-cookie, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3150/2522303752_daf71a8f83_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="elizabeth drawing some comics." /></a><br />Elizabeth spent her time drawing comics, so after my knitting, I drew some, too.

We had it at our house and it was really fun. Our theme was Halloween, but not everyone worked on Halloween projects.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/1677141894/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2054/1677141894_ce413b5100_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="spooky dessert." /></a><br />Our snack table was very Halloween, though!! I made a Spooky Dessert.<br><br><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/1676230749/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2315/1676230749_2f782b0026_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="spooky dessert chills" /></a><br />Here it is chillin' in the fridge before everyone arrived.<br><br><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/1677086418/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2134/1677086418_b15715e132_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="our snacks again." /></a><br />Here is the final dessert. The ground is <a href="http://www.nabiscoworld.com/oreo/">made of Oreo cookies</a>, but under that is a pudding, <a href="http://www.kraftfoods.com/coolwhip/">Cool Whip</a>, and Oreo mixture. Check it out...<br><br>Behind the Spooky Dessert is a couple of cheese plates.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcookie/1676242571/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2061/1676242571_654e14ec02_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="halloween cheese." /></a><br />I sliced the cheese with my Halloween mini cookie cutters to make them festive!<br><br>Here is the Spooky Dessert Recipe:<br>3.5 cups milk<br>2 packs of 4 serving size instant pudding<br>1 tub of 12 oz Cool Whip<br>1 16 oz Oreos, crumbled<br><br>Pour cold milk into a large bowl. Add pudding mixes. Stir in 3 cups of Cool Whip and add half of the cookies. Spoon into a 9x13 pan and sprinkle with the remaining cookies.<br><br>Refrigerate for 1 hour or until ready to serve. <br><br>Decorate with tombstones (I used Milano Cookies) and Cool Whip ghosts.
