crafting with a friend...

...always fun!

cinnamon swirl cake...

My friend Catherine came over this morning for a bit of crafting. So I made this cinnamon swirl cake/bread, and a pot of tea, and we worked on bracelets.

Catherine is making hers with violets...so cute!

And I painted little pieces of canvas with a dandelion life cycle. I used safety pins to hold them on, which kind of balances out the girly eyelet.

I love how it turned out, and will definitely make more. (I have a word one planned for next.) I thought that I wouldn't like how it feels or that it wouldn't be "me", but I think it is soooo fun! And it keeps my wrist warm!

Working by oneself is fine, and nice. But getting together for this sort of thing is very enjoyable. I need more crafty friends and more time to get together!

  1. The bracelet is so cute, and boy, do I wish I could craft with a friend here, but none of the ones I made here are (and that I'm going to be obliged to leave in three months, pooo !) Can't wait to see how the other bracelet will be !

    I'm determined to finish my bracelet this week and then do one with the dandelions you gave me. I still can't believe you gave me those! I heart them so.

    Also, your house is officially the house of comfort and comfortability. I've decided this!
