i have had so much WONDERFUL help for Craft Weekend.
friends have helped me clean….make beds…..fix sewing machines….fed me lunch….so much help.
and now we are in the middle of craft weekend again!
it's here.
and there are so many lovely women again this time.
blog readers are the best group ever….we all love blogs….we all read blogs….we love meeting friends ONLINE.
everything was set up and ready for the crafty girls to arrive.
i was talking in the driveway with craig when the fist van pulled up.
he jumped in the car and said "ok…i'm outta here!"
getting far away from craftyLand.
kimberlee made amazing chili.
and pam's cheesecake.
i could have eaten three pieces for sure.
ruffle aprons are SO cute and fun.
we just can't get enough of them!
the SWAG is amazing!!!
so much really great stuff from really great sponsors!
so far every CW group has made super creative color combos.
this group is no exception….of course!!
they each picked adorable fabric!!
Lindsey wins the prize for finishing hers way before anyone else…quite a bit before midnight even!!
IT'S ADORABLE!!!
ok…the entire house is asleep except me.
guess i better get on that.
good night.
Kim - :As these different inneclfues came collectively, a distinctly Cuban taste and model developed, which is reminiscent of nation peasant kinds of cooking by oral custom and eye, rather than relying on distinct measurements and the development of dishes that tend towards the uncomplicated and hearty, and that can be left on their unique to simmer. Fussy, major sauces are abnormal and deep-frying is just not a favored cooking system. The island nation, by natural means, uses a wonderful deal of seafood in its cuisine, which encourages the use of effortless cooking strategies and spicing that is meant to boost, not smother, all-natural flavors.
Heidi Jo the Artist - Looks like you guys had another blast, rock on!!! Love looking at all that eye-candy. Your photos are the bomb! Love Jennifer’s butterfly shirt too!
farmhousemama - You are amazing! it looks like so much fun. I used to teach craft classes at my local community ed and loved every minute of it. I want to come sometime. Heck, I want to host one sometime at my house here in good ol South Dakota. You should patent the idea and sell me the rights to your secrets of a smooth cw. Looks like a blast!
Lindsay - Where is the fabric from that is on the pillow with the pom pom edging- the colored circles fabric? I am looking everywhere for new pillows and that is perfect.
ימי כיף לקבוצות - that’s cool! looks realy nice!
Jennifer - Any chance Kimberlee would share the recipe??? Sounds wonderful!
Heather G. - So fun!
Rachel - I love how women who don’t even know each other can come together, craft, and leave friends. This was a brilliant idea. Props to you! Can’t wait to see more of CW!!

Kimber-Leigh - sooooo fun. i love how colorful and happy everything always looks at CW!
i’m hoping my name gets pulled while i still live in close driving distance (only a few more months)!!!
Kimberly C. - I hope you guys have as much fun as we did just a few short weeks ago…..and I hope you get some sleep Meg 🙂 Wish I was there again….so.much.fun!
Katy @ Live Laugh Love Craft - Question.. How many people have requested an invite to go to CW? I’m just wondering what my chances are.. 🙂 Hope I don’t get picked too soon, though. Just started saving for it!
Lori Austin - Sounds like you girls are rocking another CW. 🙂
I’m sitting at home terribly sick this weekend. You bright pics and fun details have cheered me up a bit. Have fun ladies!

Rachel - FUN! I wanna go to Craft Weekend!
maggie - that’s it, i can’t handle it anymore, i am going to start a savings account to go to craft weekend…it looks like sooo much fun. do you have any planned in the summer months?
Jody - So fun to see pics – I am dreaming of your craft weekend activities!! soo fun!! it looks like such a lovely reprieve. (and this may or WILL sound odd – but if you ever want to sell that aqua bird pic from Pier 1 you have hanging on the wall – I LUV it – I’ll buy it from ya – let me know!! I meant to go buy it and never did!!)
Cindy - Always love the aprons! The from your last CW actually inspired me to make a child’s one as a gift for a birthday party that my daughter was attending. It turned out precious and we gave it along with a little cookbook! The color combinations always turn out amazing. My MIL looked at the one I made and said, “I never would have thought to put those colors together!” Can’t wait to sit down and make one for myself and my daughters! Won’t be nearly as fun (or yummy) as being at CW, but crafting is always fun nonetheless! Wishing you all a fabulous weekend!
Jess - So fun. Hope it is another fabulous weekend! 🙂
Laura Lee - Looks too fun! Your blog has so inspired me over the last year, my house is so much more fun and colorful now. I love it. Keep up the inspiring work 🙂
Betsy from Elizabeth St - Eep! This looks like so much fun! Enjoy your weekend, crafty ladies. 🙂
jen - i wish it wouldn’t cost me over $1000 to come!! this looks like the best time ever – even my husband agreed it would be fun for me and i should look into it…that NEVER happens! anyways i decided to drop some moo-la on a whack of fabric and am eagerly waiting the tutorials for all the goodies you mentioned you were going to do….i NEED to make those aprons for me,my mom & my sisters for my mom’s 60th birthday week away together – we are all chef’s….kitchen divas…and these would top it off perfectly! please tell you are still going to do it??? pretty please with a cherry on top! {as my kids would say! haha}
and ladies…not to sound like a stalker or anything…but she mentioned a while ago that that print is from pier one. {i have a crazy memory for things like that – my husband wishes i used it for good. haha}
Penny - Ha, it looks like many of us noticed the bird picture. I would love information on it also. Looks like another great weekend is underway! Enjoy your time together. Can’t wait to see more photos.
gina moore - Where did you get the bird picture that I see in the background (the pic with the girl sewing?)
Holly - looks like a great time! I need someone to come help clean at my house…..even without craft weekend! 😉
Rachel Spin - I have a question. In the 9th picture where Lindsay and another lady are working on sewing machines, there is some artwork in the background to the right of the window. It has a big bird in a frame, looks like a western tanager. I am a total bird nerd and would love to know if that is fabric I could order and do something with, or if it is a painting etc…
Thanks, Rachel
p.s. cw looks like a blast, wish I could come one day.
Elisa E - I am so jealous. I wish we had something like this in the UK.
Ashley - One of these days I WILL attend craft weekend. I mean come on, I live in Kansas. It is necessary, right? 🙂
Have a wonderful time!
ko. s - A fun post to read this morning! So excited and slightly jealous for all you ladies! Happy crafting!
Southern Gal - I didn’t realize your craft weekends were running so close together. Wow. You’re an amazing crafty girl!
angela - I AM going to do this one day! Have a great rest of the weekend.
Jealous!
Sarah @ Handbags*N*Pigtails - Well Lindsey is just plain adorable herself, not to mention that fabulous apron!:)
Im glad to hear that everything is going so well again this time. And love Craig’s reaction. He’s a good man to keep clearing out of his home for these ladies:)
Michelle From Australia - I’m so jealous of the attendees. Why does Australia have to be SO far away from Kansas 🙁
