Blocks of wood in various sizes. 2 by would be the best width.
Short thoughts, saying etc on gratitude.
Some kind of committment

Happy Halloween

We are planning a craft night. Wednesday nights are good for me.How about you? We are planning to make Halloween blocks. We need to know what sayings you want, how much are you willing to donate to the cause, do you have good scrap wood to donate, do you want to host at your house?


Here are some sayings that I thought of or borrowed:


Witch and Famous


Trick or Treat


Boo!

Broom Rides $1.00

I have ready done blocks with "The Witch is In/ The witch is Out", but I would to remake them.
Love you all

Bright Ideas

Does anyone have a bright idea for an April project? I could suggest bracelets, cards or find a n Easter craft. Let me know if you have a bright idea.

Beautiful You!

Great ready for a positively fun night. Thursday March 3rd at my Stake Center at 7:00 PM. We are learning about positive thinking and reaching our potential. Learning who we are so that we can succeed in our dreams, love others and be good tools for our Heavenly Father.
You will need to come prepared with:
Your favorite scriptures
A list of words that describe you in a positive light or are just positive words.
Affirmation type quotes (we will have some of these)
Pictures of your family, best friends, The Savior etc.
Old Church magazines will be greatly appreciated.
It would be helpful if you had them printed on 4X6 papers in the fonts you like. I have some vellum if you would like to try that also.
I have purchased the books and am cutting up cute paper to use. If you have a certain theme you want me to look for, please leave me a comment. I am so excited to do this. I know that I am happier when I realize who I am and what I am capable of doing. We can be strong and happy without being stuck up and proud. Did I forget anything? Leave a comment and let me know.

Cupid is out Hunting

Secret Princesses are going to make their sweeties some Valentine PJ bottoms. What is needed?
"Borrow" a pair of pajama pants that are comfortable from your sweetie. (yes, scrubs will work also.)
Twice the length of your sweetie plus maybe 1/4 yard. (2 1/2 - 2 3/4 yard of 45" fabric.)
Thread
Drawstring material. IE- Twill tape, bias tape or you can make self drawstrings...just more work.
5/8 " - 3/4" elastic- enough for the waist.
If you can bring a sewing machine the night of the project, it will really help.
I am setting aside Thursday and Friday nights on the 1st week of February. If you don't think that will be enough time, I will be available on this Friday, I just need to know so I don't make new plans.
It was suggested we shop for fabric together which I am willing to do. I am available Friday after 3:00 PM.
Leave any questions in the comment section and I will try and answer them.
We will talk about T shirt tops later!
PS> My first pillow looks terrific and the second is coming along great.

Pillow Night

Our Pillow Night was so fun. We had a lot of fun learning this great technique. My mom was so patient with us. She didn't even get to work on her pillow. We are all busy stitiching and will post pictures when we get them finished. I am tickled with my pillow. I am half down with it right now. My mom is such a wonderful person and she doesn't even know it! Any ideas for Valentine gifts we can make for husbands that AREN'T sweet eats? We are thinking of that for next month.
Thanks again Mom.

13th Night

We are getting together on the 13th of January. 7:00 PM. ( I have district meetings that I can't blow off again. ) We will meet at my house. We will be instructed by a totally awesome woman...my mommy. She will be showing us a great technique to make pillows. You will need to bring: 1 yard of satin or if you can find it and don't want to have to mark fabric- 1 " gingham check. I personally am going for the satin. If it matters to you that the thread match, you better bring that also. I will provide pins, scissors, all that good stuff. I can't guarantee treats so if you want something, feel free to bring and share. (I will try...but...) Be thinking about the things you can share with the group. We want to celebrate everyone. Please leave a comment so I know how many are coming. Out of town guests are free to stay all night.
Love you!
