Crafting Party

This weekend I invited friends and family over to get some unfinished projects completed. The crafting party is a variation on a scrapbooking or quilting party. But, instead of a specific craft, it's a free-for-all. People brought whatever they wanted to work on, some of them multiple projects. For my part, I finished half a dress, started on a pearl necklace and got some help in the redesign of my website. When you have crafty folks over, you can tap into their expertise.

Potlucking made the party-related workload a little easier. I requested that each person bring an entree to serve eight. It worked out to just enough food for lunch and dinner for everyone who stuck around all day. On my part I made a tall cylinder of lemonade (it's actually a big vase, but works better than a punchbowl!) and a few pizzas. I'll give you a recipe and some topping ideas later this week.
