Here are some peeks into our wonderful day together

I love these amazing women!

 

Friendship, Hearts & Crafting

Winter blahs...cure?

Spend a day with friends,

Crafting

Share a potluck lunch

Music (even danced a bit of the "Bump")

Laughter 

Someone discovered they LOVE blood oranges!

Snack time doesn't get much better than chocolate dipped fruit!

Our day wasn't long enough...we had a soldering table set-up, but never got around to soldering mini glass boxes.  Instead we worked on creating heart textile collages and creating lace-covered hanger hearts.

Crafting was focused on hearts with Valentine's Day approaching

(Thanks Gail for the photo!)

None of us finished a project, so I don't have individual project photos to share.  Later that evening I finished my lace-covered wire heart.  It took me a couple of tries to decide where it should hang

against a wood wall?

hanging from a lamp post?

Those two choices were OK, but hanging from the chandy is HOME

My new craft addiction....creating various wire & lace/textile hearts! 

Do you have the Winter blahs...spend time with family, friends and share something you love to do!
