Tonight Lori came over for a little crafting. She inspires me (and so does her beautifully decorated home) to create things. If I find something on a blog or online and show her - she'll tell me I can make it. And I believe her. And also require her guidance in each of my projects. I consult Lori on ALL projects. She knows the craft stores, what's on sale, what coupon I can use and what supplies I'll need for everything I want to create. Bottom line, Lori is very talented and I'm thankful to have her in my life.
She and I have been talking for a few years about starting a craft club, similar to a book club. Well, we finally pulled the trigger and planned our first Craft Club night in a few weeks. This being said, I had to plan a very simple and inexpensive first craft (so as to not scare the girls away and get people inspired to create). I sent out an email to interested girls and then realized I better know how to make the project before they shuffled into my house ready to create. That's how Lori came over tonight...to help me (verbally acknowledge and confirm my choices) make a trial run. She brought some of her own crafts with her to make while I attempted my own.

Which turned out beautifully. Thinking I might make a few and put them atop some large candle holders.
And this is the craft I'll be teaching in a few weeks, a Petal Pusher hair clip / pin. I completely snagged the idea from a blog and am surprised at how well this turned out.
The other craft Lori made (I'll say finished, because she already had most of this done) tonight. Love it. Going to make one of my own this weekend for a gift. For a special someone.
And that's how I spend my Friday nights. Don't be jealous.
