Autumn * Friends * Craft Day

Autumn * Friends * Craft Day - three of my most favorite things!

Recently I hosted an Autumn craft day with friends

Gail taught us soldered jewelry & frames.  This was my first time to solder and I LOVE IT!
I know what I want for Christmas...hint, hint!
Marj always has a beautiful smile and gives the best friendship hugs!

 Corrine & Belle have become great friends!  Aren't they adorable?

I am sorry to say, but I forgot to snap photos of the artsy craft projects my friends created.  We spent a wonderful day together creating various projects: soldered jewelry & frames, canvas art, spoolies, decoupaged Holiday houses & crocheting. 

I did take photos of my creations
 Halloween canvas art, soldered photo frame and Halloween spoolie

The soldered frame & spoolie almost get lost in the foreground of the canvas art. 

I added several ribbons & trim to my soldered frame. 
The photo on the front is my mother as a baby. 
The photo on the reverse is my mother at age 2.
 I love this project!   

My mother was a primitive-style painter and crafter.
She would have so enjoyed all the arts & crafts that are popular now.
I wished I was in my creative chapter of life when she was alive - it would have been a joy to share it with her.
