OK, so last April I was invited to join my sisters "Stitch & Bitch" craft club. Last night it was my turn to host. OMGosh! What fun we had . . . if you don't belong to one of these groups I highly recommend starting one yourself. As you will see "a good time was had by all".
 |
| The evening started innocently enough . . . ladies stitching and sewing . . . sipping beverages of choice. |
 |
| Some gathered by the fire for popcorn, conversation and crocheting. |
 |
| One perused crafting magazines brought by other members . . . just looking for that perfect next project. |
 |
| Some ladies brought a show & tell . . . here is Sue S's hand pieced hexagon (WIP) work in progress. |
 |
| And here is Sue L's pig quilt! Hog Wild? |
 |
| Tammy's Halloween applique' |
 |
| Cousin Debra with her latest crochet project. |
Then suddenly the mood of the evening turned . . .
This is the "Gone Wild" part . . .
 |
| Roxy modeling her new latest and greatest product design for crafty ladies. |
 |
| "WHAT?" you say. Well, those are magnets sewn to her bra . . . yes magnets. |
 |
| You see there is a story behind this. I, being a relatively new member didn't know the back story so I asked, below is the answer. |
"The bra story...as I remember it.... well, I would like to take credit for it, but it goes way back to our cross stitching days, and every time someone dropped a needle the person would shout out "needle down" and we all stopped stitching and were down on our hands and knees searching until we found the lost needle. As we were probably discussing this dilemma, the words came out "we need a magnetic Bra" to catch the needle, (those boobs are always just hanging around there anyway, they might as well be useful, but anyway), I do believe the words came out of my mouth, and it has been a standing joke ever since. It was going to be my get rich quick scheme, so I could retire and sew all day. Next time we get together I will tell you about the "Monkey Butt" story." RoxieLordy lordy these crafty ladies have all kinds of creative ideas and great stories don't they?
 |
| After a tour of my studio, dinner was served - homemade pasta with meatballs. |
 |
| :-( sadly the garlic bread didn't fare so well. Just goes to show you that not everything turns out all the time. |
I am so grateful to be included with such a fun loving group of crafters. And I really mean it when I say that you should get yourself a group of ladies and stitch and bitch and sip delightful beverages, eat tasty treats and enjoy your life! (BTW - dessert was frozen strawberrys and bananas dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with pecans - yum)
My best to you! Happy stitching.
