The snow held off until Sunday this weekend, so I was able to host a couple of lovely ladies for a Saturday of sewing. Lucinda of SewWrong and Karissa of Kitty Kitty Crafts brought over their sewing machines, and we talked, sewed, and snacked. It was fantastic, and I actually managed to start and finish a whole project. I need to iron it and cut off some stray threads, but I'll be sharing pictures soon!
I had been wanting to bake some goodies for a while, so I took the opportunity to make snacks for our meetup. I baked some Irish scones, which we ate with strawberry jam, and two loaves of French bread, which came out surprisingly big.
It was a really nice break from my regular routine, I can't wait for the next sewing meetup! Sunday it was back to the dye pots and knitting needles. How did you spend your weekend?
Your weekend sounds pretty awesome. Strangely enough lately I have been doing most of my making during the week, so this weekend I did some cleaning (that is pretty much invisible) and cooking and packing. I'd rather have your weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt WAS pretty awesome :) I usually spend my weekends elbow-deep in dye and creating as much product as possible, so it was really nice to have a completely self-indulgent Saturday. The cleaning was minimal, so that will probably happen this week.
DeleteI'm a little jealous of your sewing buddies! It sounds like a nice way to spend the weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt was our first time doing a sewing meetup and I have to say it was a GREAT time. I hope to have more of these! If you're ever in Boston... :)
