February Crafternoon

     This month was my turn to host our Crafternoon, so I picked creating some Yarn Letters.  I've seen them on Pinterest and thought we could give them a try.  I bought the letters for the ladies and they brought their favorite yarn.  It was an easy craft, just took some time to complete.  Also, this month happens to be our Crafternoon anniversary, so for the ladies I made each of them a little gift to celebrate.  I found some cute Valentine's boxes at Target then put a pair of cute Valentine's socks and one of the Lightbulb Gifts I made for Liam's teachers inside.  Something cute and simple to say Happy Crafternoon Anniversary!

The ladies getting their fondue on!

With it being February, I wanted to make something fun and festive to enjoy eating.

So I made some yummy Cheesy Fondue to go with fresh veggies Elizabeth brought.

And a pot of Dark Chocolatey Fondue to go with the sweet fruit Jennie brought.

Marisa brought some awesome homemade pound cake

 and some tasty sourdough bread for us to dip too!

After some snacking, it was time to get their craft on!

I made these awesome cocktails called Kinky Bubbles.

Everybody wrapping and wrapping and wrapping their paper mache letters.

Elizabeth expressing her LOVE.

And Marisa sharing a HUG!

Another fun craft with my ladies. Can't wait to see what we create next month at Elizabeth's house!

I LOVE Yarn Letters

     I've seen these adorable yarn letters on Pinterest and thought I would give it a try myself.  So I went to Hobby Lobby to get my supplies.

What you need:

Paper Mache letters

yarn

tape

How to make them:

     Tape one end of the yarn to the back side of one of the letters.

Then start wrapping the yarn around the letter, keeping it tight and close to the each strand.

Continue doing until the entire letter is wrapped.

Around the corners, it gets a little tough, so just cut the yarn tape it to the letter, then start a new strand by taping it on the letter and start wrapping the letter again.

Here's how mine turned out!
