SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

OOPS! This crafter forgot to blog after, so the blog sat on a log................

Apologies to our followers...what a busy month we've had. 5 gatherings, organizing our second craft fair, working on personal sale items AND three oil paintings for a 80th birthday surpise have had me over busy. Not to mention that Martha Darling has gotten me so addicted to Swedish Weaving that I'm on my second project already. Thanks Martha!

Kudos to all the crafters that now can call themselves vendors after their premiere at the second craft show at the Buckhead Ridge Moose. Everyone did extremely well -- first prize goes to Darlene Brown - she sold 15 crocheted ribbon necklaces that will be taken to Germany as gifts. Go Darlene!!!!!!!!!

A personal thanks to all that donated toward baskets for the community Easter Egg Hunt that the Moose Lodge 2417 hosts. This is our second community participation in just three months of existence. Crafters are generous people.

Welcome to our newest friends, if you aren't one yet, come and stay awhile.

See you in the fall to Darlene as she travels to Missouri and Martha Darling who had to leave us for the summer. We will miss you both!

Speaking of Martha, look at the pattern she created for this Swedish Weave lap blanket:



THANKS FOR TEACHING US (me), your a Darling


CarolAnn one our newest members brought this blanket that she is working on....................

see the quilt below that she is handstitching with specialized needlework.

The Group: When you walk into our gatherings you never know what you will find. The only constant is busy, happy people.

Beaded necklaces are a big hit. Steve Grant is learning to make some beautiful pieces..............but once in awhile he plays 5200 pickup.

My cat painted my craft room floor last week, it happens to all of us. What can we make out of the oops? LAUGHTER

For my father-in-law's 80th birthday photographs of the mountain home he built and his summer home in North Carolina were reproduced on a rock (from Hendersonville, NC) and one of his used saw blades.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
