I finally was able to attend a craft group meeting at the Campbell Library last night. It was organized on Craftster in June, but I wasn’t able to attend until this month. And I’m so glad I did!

The overall atmosphere was very mellow, with everyone just working on projects and chatting about both crafty and non-crafty things. A few people brought snacks, and there were some crafty books off to the side as well.

It was really cool to see the variety of projects that everyone brought. A few women embroidered, while another woman painted a swap project; someone else was decorating a canvas painting of the Virgin Mary with sequins, and another woman was making yarn from dark green roving.

I didn’t have any particular project to bring, so I sat and made envelopes while I was there, leaving with a total of 22 envelopes, including a set of 6 matching ones that I will make cards for. Not bad for about an hour’s work.

For next month’s meeting, I think I’ll bring the cross-stitch project I started today, assuming that I’m still working on it by then. And I am going to try to rope in at least one former co-worker who is crafty too. The more, the merrier.
