May Meeting was a Blast!

We had a get together for the Church of Craft Athens in May. This time Elizabeth hosted and we had a lovely time getting together to craft some!! Here is some of the goodies we worked on...




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.


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.




Good thing I had Harley there to help guide me.


Looks like Harley really helped Paul, too!!


Elizabeth spent her time drawing comics, so after my knitting, I drew some, too. What fine work, Elizabeth! Maybe you can be in Flagpole, too.


Raoul was hard wt work sewing his pouches. I think he is going to have Pouchfest soon!!

October meeting

Last Sunday was our Church of Craft meeting. We had it at our house and it was really fun. Our theme was Halloween, but not everyone worked on Halloween projects.

Our snack table was very Halloween, though!! I made a Spooky Dessert.


Here it is chillin' in the fridge before everyone arrived.


Here is the final dessert. The ground is made of Oreo cookies, but under that is a pudding, Cool Whip, and Oreo mixture. Check it out...

Behind the Spooky Dessert is a couple of cheese plates.

I sliced the cheese with my Halloween mini cookie cutters to make them festive!

Here is the Spooky Dessert Recipe:
3.5 cups milk
2 packs of 4 serving size instant pudding
1 tub of 12 oz Cool Whip
1 16 oz Oreos, crumbled

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.

Refrigerate for 1 hour or until ready to serve.

Decorate with tombstones (I used Milano Cookies) and Cool Whip ghosts. Lettering on the tombstones and faces on ghosts are made with black gel icing.

Elizabeth brought a great pumpkin shaped spice cake. Look how cute !!

Yummy!

October meeting

We are finally holding a Church of Craft again. This time it will be on Sunday, October 14 from 2-5. We would like it to be at our home, so please bring your craft project and a goodie to share, if you are so inclined. My friend Jo suggested Halloween crafts, so bring some holiday crafts to work on. We will have plenty of inspiration around!! Please send a message for directions to our house.

April Meeting

We had a really good meeting a few weeks back. Our friends Elizabeth and Rita came. They both knitted some. Elizabeth also made some collaged bird magnets. Rita knitted a scarf. Molly was there and knitted a very fancy shawl. It was looking good at the Church!




Here I am making a pompom bunny. I started a white one and then a grey one. I still have not finished them, so I will get back to you on that.

Raoul sewed some cute ice cream cones to be revealed at a later date.


Cindy came to hang out, too. She shared some really nice strawberries. Later on a local celeb showed up and bought some antiques.

I think we ended up at Ryan's for dinner that night.

What a full day!

Overdue Meeting

Stick Bugs and Crafts

Our last meeting was way back in September! So Sorry for the late post! As Raoul and I put our supplies in the car, we found a walking stick bug hanging out on the car! I picked it up and placed it in a nearby tree.


What happened at our last meeting? Raoul sewed more and more fangs, if I remember correctly. Leanne knitted, too. I worked on some stuff for my art shows.


Elizabeth worked on some new Christmas goodies. She brought her pal, Rita, who knitted!

I am Late Posting This!

Our Last Meeting

We had such a productive meeting. Elizabeth came and worked on some Christmas garlands of felt stars and candy canes. It looks so cute!


Our newest flock member, Leanne, knitted a scarf for her kitty, Salvador. I hear her kitty loves wearing things! Ben is here, too. Maybe next time he will bring a craft to work on with us!




Raoul worked on some more of his plush fangs. He is working his way to one hundred fangs for our gallery show coming up in November.


I worked on some beaded necklaces again. I also cut out about 20 raindrops for the Youngblood show in November.

Thanks for the snacks, too. Next time we will have to have more cookies!

Since this is a holiday weekend, we were thinking of making some snacks to share with everyone. If you wish, bring your favorite goodie to share!

Please bring your craft project to work on, and see you Saturday!

We had a really great time!

Church of Craft is going great. Raoul sewed some tooth fairy plush for our art show. His plans are to make one hundred for our show. Wish him luck...


Kathrine worked on embroidering a dragon for her sister! Check it out.


Elizabeth had felt hearts and flowers cut out and sewed them for some wonderful ribbon garland.

Here I am sporting my new sleep mask from the amazing artists at Deli-Made. I also got two beautiful prints from Alena, one of a bunny, and the other of a fawn. The other goodie I came home with was a top from Snowflake 66 that is now my new favorite top!

New Crafty Peeps

The Church of Craft Athens welcomes Elizabeth and her daughter, Clare, who joined us at the last get together. Elizabeth made the sweetest little bunny toy that was inspired by a vintage bunny she bought at an antique shop in Savannah, while Clare beaded.


It was alot of fun crafting, talking to Paul, and meeting new people. I cut out lots of little pink and blue birds while Raoul sewed some new plushie ideas. Dave had his embossing kit and went to town.

Third Get Together

Please join us for our third meeting of the Church of Craft Athens. We are holding the Church on June 3, from 3-5pm, at the wonderful X Ray Café at 261 W. Washington Street. Bring some friends and your crafty project!

Squarey is ready!

Finally! Here is my Squarey pillow! I just finished sewing, attaching the arms and legs, adding the eyes, and embroidering the mouth. I think she came out cute. This is a detail of her face. This is my first Church of Craft project I completed. I am so thrilled!


Look how adorable Squarey Cotton Candy looks hanging out on my bed.
