Most of us!
By now, you’ve probably already said to yourself…”Self, I wish I had gotten off the couch and made a key chain last night!”
Well, I’m not trying to make you feel worthless, but I do think it’s appropriate to share photos from our excellent adventure last night! In case you hadn’t heard, yesterday was Etsy.com’s 5th birthday. We celebrated in style at my house by having a DIY extravaganze…. handmade food (soooo yummy!), handmade items, all created by women wearing mostly handmade goods!!! I think the photos will speak for themselves….definitely let me know if you’d like to be included in our next great DIY adventure!

closing out the night: Jenny Rose and Faith with a stolen camera!
This really was a spectacular evening.
At one point, I looked around my house and realized that I had no idea who most of the people inside were. How fabulous is that!?! There’s something about the art and process of simply making something that really does draw a community together. hmmmm. So many options!!!
OMG! It looks like SO MUCH FUN!!!
Love to be included in this. Can you please tell me more!!
Looks like a great time and great way to met new friends. !!
Hey Cynthia!!! I host “craft nights”…although we call them “Make It Mondays” pretty often. I make sure to post the date on my blog, so keep checking back. I haven’t set the date for the next one, but I know that we’ll be making bottle cap necklaces with resin…soooo fun and now! (the party shown in photos was a bit larger than the usual – typically we have about 20 women and I’d LOVE for you to join us!!!)
For sewing lessons, email me your schedule: robiedodson@gmail.com! sooo exciting….and yay for the baby on the way!
