tonight was “craft circle”.
it started out as a large circle of us gathered around all working on individual craft projects.
knitting, quilting, sewing, mending, embroidery etc.
some months the circle was so big it spilled into the next room.
over time though the circle has shrunk quite a bit.
and most of the time it is a craft triangle of myself and my two lovely neighbor friends.
the three of us have been crafting together for 13 years now and i can honestly say that it is rare that a month gets skipped.
there were a few years where i would just sit and nurse a baby and not craft at all.
it’s always fun to see what new projects get pulled out of everyone’s bag. (even though some of us lately seem to be working on the same project month after month)
along with clicking needles and cutting fabric there is always good conversation and lots of laughs.
tonight i pulled out the same fingerless mitts as last month.
but no one seemed to mind.
Love your blog! What kind of plant is in your window?
thanks peggy. it is a succulent of some sort. i bought is so long ago i forget what kind but it really seems to like it there.
13 years! Love it!
in columbia i had a “craft club.” sometimes it was big, but other times it was just a small circle of us really close girls. it’s so nice to have a group that understands if you just feel like talking instead of crafting. a good group to simply listen. miss it! 🙂
Oh, I want a craft circle of just that sort. Enduring. Relaxed. Perfect. I think this is the sort of thing that is easier to come by in a neighborhood. Harder to work out here in the country. It’s too much trouble to drive half an hour at night to come to craft night. So much easier just to walk up the street. We live in one of the loveliest places in the world, but I do envy you that!
