CRAFTIN' OUT #4 - Details!

Hey, craftsters...Did you miss us?!
Well, we'd be lying if we said we didn't miss you!

A whole month has passed without a get together and it's high time we rectified that with some serious crafty lady hangouts!

So, here's the deal:

September 27th, 2009 - A SUNDAY!
What are you doing? Because we're planning something really special for you!

EMBROIDERY!
Steph and I brainstormed the best way to do this...and we think that Jenny Hart
http://www.jennyhart.net/ , OG craft mafia mama, could give us a hand!

So, we're going to be ordering a couple of these little gems from Sublime Stitching:

http://www.sublimestitching.com/stitchinbeekit.html

These Stitchin' Bee Kits come with enough materials and instructions for 5 eager chicas!
And will cost about 10.00 + shipping - or about 12.00 per person!
When you leave, hopefully you'll have a head start on your embroidery project AND you'll have all the fundamental craftin' materials and learnin' you need to continue your work and expand your repetoire of craftiness!

But here's the deal - we don't want to order a grip load of stuff for all of you and then have a bunch of peeps bail!
So, we need DEFINITE RSVPS by September 18th!
We'll collect your dough when we see you on the 27th!

As far as deets are concerned, here's the run down:

Where: We haven't secured a place yet! Wanna host? Let us know!
When: September 27, 2009
What time: 1-5 PM ROCKY MOUNTAIN STANDARD TIME
What are we doing: PILLOWCASE EMBROIDERY!
What you bring: YOU, YOUR FRIEND (Both of you will have RSVP'd, RIGHT?), YOUR NIMBLE STITCHIN' FINGERS, SOMETHING SNACKY, MULLED WINE, ETC.
We're pretty excited about this particular foray into stitchin' and we want you there to dive in with us!
If you have some embroidery experience, WE NEED YOU! Come show us what you got!
If you've always wanted to try embroidery but got hung up by embroidery floss and intimidated by a whip stitch - then let's learn together!

Get in touch - can't wait to see your faces!

Hearts,
Becky
