Craft Night, 1/15/07

Tonight was craft night! We combined it with the Golden Globes to satisfy the fame-o-philes in the group (Kate!). Here's what we did:

• Taina worked on her kids' scrapbooks.


• Sarah brought her current knitting project, a laptop sleeve. She's knitting it on circular needles, and it looks great. I look forward to seeing the finished project. She also wore a splendidly appropriate shirt and brought some tasty cheese curds.




• Jane worked on a Nintendo-themed needlepoint project she found on craftzine.com. It ended up taking longer than expected, so no final project photos, but watch The Things I Like. I bet it will be up there soon.
  
  

  



• Monica made some super cute refrigerator magnets made from adhesive magnetic strips and magazine cutouts. The photos don't do them justice.
  

• Becky worked on placecards for an upcoming party. She brought cute little cardstock squares and at least four different kinds of fancy-shape-cutting-scissors. She ended up not being a big fan of scissor-scalloped edges, so the cards didn't get finished.

• With help from Vicki and Jane, Kate learned how to do embroidery. She's doing a mighty fine job of it, too. I look forward to posting a photo of her finished project. I think she's planning on making it into a wallhanging for her office, and not our apartment. I'm very impressed with how quickly this non-sewer learned how to do very professional looking embroidery.





• Finally, I worked on making new covers for the throw pillows on our couch. I'll post on these separately.
