Word on the Street - March 15

Beware the Ides of March, yo!

It was not a great day for this guy.

Sam and Erica are busy preparing for a major CRAFT WEEKEND this weekend. Liz will be joining us in Mount Pleasant so we can get our display all ready for the season's sales. Sam and Erica are shopping for supplies and groceries (crafting requires sustenance, you know). Be on the lookout for lots of pictures and previews of crafts and our display next week!

We're going to take this up a notch. High fashion! Make it work!

Liz feels like she hasn't fully returned to a schedule since her return from Denver, with lots of work days in a row, much to do, birthday parties to attend, and her upcoming wedding (less than 5 months away!).  She's become confident that her tiny apartment will probably not be clean again until after the honeymoon.  Most of her crafting has been the creation of more wedding flowers, so here are a couple cute pictures of her nephews who had a joint birthday party recently since their birthdays fall only 3 weeks apart:

Grant, the super cool 8-year-old, checking out a new Lego kit.

Braeden, who is almost 4 and has already perfected the art of looking like he doesn't know a picture is being taken of him when, in actuality, he does.

 

Craft Meeting

This past weekend, your three favorite crafters took over the back room at a local coffee shop in Mount Pleasant, MI to get our craft sale season off to a good start. There was coffee, planning, knitting, and so much talking that Sam forgot what she was doing and started making a mitten with no thumb:

We drank a lot of coffee, and got a lot of plans in the works. We also may have eaten our weight in eggs and pancakes at IHOP, found out all about Mother Sauces because of curiosity about what Hollandaise actually is, and danced around singing the Rocky theme in the parking lot, but I can neither confirm or deny that.

What I can confirm is that we have some big plans for ourselves this year. There will be a weekend dedicated to display construction and we're all busily doing research on which sales we'll be attending. If you have any suggestions for what you'd like us to sell or where you might like us to sell it, please let us know! Stay tuned for more information!
