Want to read with me?

Hello to my fellow gypsies!

I started this book last week and I am way enjoying it. It's gotten great reviews so if you are needing something to fill the time between crafts pick this up and we can chat about it during out next craft meeting. I'm listening to it and totally enjoying the southern accents and dynamics of the time.

Petal Pillow Partay

Project Petal Pillow was a success!

 I can't wait to see everyone's finished projects after they are completely sewn and stuffed! 

Thanks to everyone who came!

Meeting Two: Petal Pillows

Date: Tuesday, the 15th of February 

Time: 7 to 9 in the evening.

Place: Bethany's House

Project: Petal Pillows!

Seeing as this is a sewing project, you will need to bring a sewing machine and sewing supplies. Also, if you want the pillow fabric to be a specific color/design you will want to bring your own fabric and matching felt.  I will have an assortment of different fabrics and matching felt at the meeting, but i need to know how much fabric i need to have ready. Let me know what you choose to do in the comments!

What to bring: 

A Sewing Machine

Sewing Supplies (scissors, thread etc.)

1/2 yard fabric for the pillow (Optional!)

1/2 yard matching felt for the flower (Optional!)

A treat to share!

(I will supply the batting and other needed supplies.)

Costs:
For the entire pillow- $7.00
If you bring your own fabric-$1.00
(see measurements above)

Let me know if you are coming by leaving a comment! And don't forget to let me know if you will be bringing your own fabric or not.

Hope to see you all there!!!

Meeting One Recap!

What a great time we had at our first ever Gypsy Guild meeting. Thank you to everyone who could come and make it a success and to those who couldn't come, we hope you can next time!

 The Treats!

Did we decide to all bring treats or is that just too much? Crafting and eating don't always mix but you gotta have treats, right?! Leave a comment and share your opinion. 

One of our pregnant Gypsies (Darcy) brought the pickles, of course. 

Puppy Chow! I think I might make this every time. That way I can take home the left overs. (heehee)

The Project!

Bethany is the Gypsy Queen on Tuesday, February 15th. 

Stay tuned for her upcoming post to see what she's got up her sleeves for us!

Don't forget to comment with your thoughts on the treats.

Date change!

Please note...

This week's meeting will be held on THURSDAY January, 3rd. 

Same place.

Same time.



P.S.
I've ordered some more fun stuff. I hope it comes in time...

Large bails: $1.25 each

(I've only got 5 of these coming, so it's kind of first come, first served.)

Ribbon necklace: $1.00 each

(Only white and black ribbons, sorry the picture is misleading, but it gives you an idea.)

Filigree ring: $1.25 each

(Also, only five of these, too.)

Fun. Fun. Fun.

Inauguration Celebration: Meeting One

Meeting One: Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

7 to 9 pm

Gypsy Queen: Molly

We will be making cabochon and button ear rings and hair pins. 

You have your choice of either applying cabochons or buttons to make ear rings or buttons. 

I have a variety of colors and styles of both, so you're sure to find one that you like. 

I have enough supplies to make 24 pairs of ear rings and 44 hair pins. 

You can make as many as you like, until supplies run out. 

Prices are as follows:

cabochons: $1.00 for two 

ear rings (and backs): $0.25 for a pair

 hair pins: $0.25 each

It works out to be $1.25 for a full pair of ear rings or $1.50 for a matching set of hair pins. 

This will be our very first meeting, we hope everyone can make it. 

 Please RSVP in a comment if you can join in the fun!

What is The Gypsy Guild, you may ask? 

It is an association of wandering artisans. Women of all ages and from all walks of life sharing their talent and passion for all things creative. Come wander with us.
