December Meet-up
We had a great time showing off ornaments we've made or plan to make, and the tutes didn't happen as we were so busy happily visiting. Food was varied and endless. It was a fun and social event. Merry Christmas to all! Looking forward to a happy new year with new ideas and activities.

October Meet-Up
What an interesting meeting! Maggie brought some of her goodies from the telephone exchange, Nancy brought her pieces that she used for her quick class of wire wrap, Jennie brought her friend Tony who had multiple jewelry items to show and Jennie showed some of her pieces as well. Great fun to see everyone's extraordinary talents!
Business: There will be NO meeting in November. December meeting will be the second Saturday in Dec rather than the usual date. We will plan for ornament tutes and pot luck. Do not forget!!! Looking forward to seeing all the Christmas ideas.
Meeting: Jennie gave us a quick lesson on the square kumihimo. Awesome technique and we are told once you've done it a few times it comes easily. Directions are important for your first endeavor! Thank you Jennie for taking the time to show us this great technique and carry in all those supplies so we could try out the method and make any purchases if needed. Nancy will be setting up time to go see Jennie's bead shop again real soon so get your lists together for needs and let Nancy know; or join her in the ride; supplies are a necessary evil for this addiction we have! Probably won't be until first of the year the trip is made though. Jennie brought her long time friend Tony and she showed us her awesome crafts! Her beading was so awesome! Her next visit she may hold a class so heads up!

October Meeting
Happy Halloween, everyone!
Our meeting is this Saturday starting at 12 noon.
Jenny will be demonstrating the square Kumihimo braiding technique and will be available to assist with any finishing touches you may need help with on your other Kumihimo project that we did a few months ago. Otherwise, this will be an open artwork day. So bring your current clay project to work on during the meeting. Hope to see you on Saturday.

Had fun at the last meeting where the demo was a cane by Cheryl Smith. I wanted to share the bracelet that I made from a cane that I made once I got home from the meeting. Thanks, Cheryl.

Business: Next meeting Linda will show us some wire working techniques. She will bring some things for us to work with. If Jennie is back in town on that date she will also show us some more kumihimo techniques. There will be NO meeting in November. December meeting will be the second Saturday in Dec rather than the usual date. We will plan for ornament tutes and pot luck.
Julie brought a display of her collected mini bowls that she had received through a swap at a meet up. They were fantastic. She also showed us some items she had brought along in her bag of tricks that she'd made previously. Julie surprised us with a box of goodies to share and we all got to partake and enjoy. Thanks to Julie for sharing with us.
Demo today was presented by Cheryl on a Sandra McCaw technique to make an ikat technique and use it for a beautiful leaf design. Cheryl did a wonderful job showing us the techniques to use and she brought many displays for us to admire. We left with fabulous ideas and many of us completed our ikat cane as well. We are hoping to see finished products at the next meet up. Most of us were letting our newly constructed canes rest when the meeting ended. Thanks to Cheryl for taking the time to make the display and show us how to make this awesome project.
Attendees: Cheryl, Maggie, Nancy, Patti, Julie, Laurie, Lynn and a newcomer by the name of Judy.
