I am lucky enough to work with some really cool and crafty friends. Many years ago we first got together to make a Christmas Craft and have gotten together ever since. It had been a year or so since we'd had a craft day, so my wonderful co-worker, Jennifer got it started again.
First she fed us some delicious taco soup and we
oh'ed and
ah'd over her cute decorations and beautiful pumpkin cake she made.
Check out this precious cake she baked and decorated for us. Even the little pumpkins have cute, curly stems. She hasn't been at this long but she definitely has talent!
And I must say....it was DELICIOUS, as well as beautiful! It was Orange
Dreamsicle flavored....mmmmm....mmmmm....mmmm,
Check out her cleaver mantle decorating. Click on to enlarge and look at her framed Halloween-
esque pictures.
Jennifer's mom,
Fredna, (seated) also a co-worker and is quite talented as well. She's a great seamstress and whips up the prettiest pillows, draperies, etc. She's "
da bomb!" Here's she's sewing up one of the "cones" some of the group made.
Just another touch of Jennifer's decorating talent. She's filled her vases with the most interesting things! And check out the tassels she has hanging from the furniture. Aren't they cute?
At the cutting board.....crafty friend, Denise,
Fredna and Michelle. Good friends have a great time together. :)
Denise and I made a candy corn door hanger craft...but we each put out special touches on them. Isn't it funny how we can all use the same pattern and everything turns out completely different....we ALL put different spins on our crafts.
And here's the whole crafting gang with our goodies to take home!
And Kathy decided it was a
tassel kind of day for her. She is so good at them and so creative, we were inspired to make tassels at our next craft day in November....we will be doing Christmas
tassels.
These are the finished product..........a finial, some spray paint, ribbons, glue gun and a hanger! Cool, huh?
