Publicity Business Cards

I got the business cards from Vista Print today and they look great! They have the name of our guild and the guild website URL and e-mail address. They say to check the website for meeting details. I will leave a stack at Yarntopia maybe tomorrow, probably Monday. You can pick some up there to distribute or get some from me at the next meeting. Please hand them out to everyone you know so we can get the word out about our group!

April 28, 2009

Since I'm stuck at home with the flooding, I guess I have the time to update the blog:
Meetin of April 19th, 2009:
Attendees: Amy S.(the go-getter), Sheryl M.(the infamous IC designer), Jessica R. (Prasme herself), Kimberly B.(traveling girl-gorgeous crocheted tank BTW), and Debra G.(slacker)
Agenda Items:

Business/Membership Cards: Thank you, Amy for taking this and running with it. The cards are great. BTW-forgot to mention it, but BigDog has a business card laminating machine if anyone wants their card laminated-I can do that.
Membership Requirements: it was proposed, and unanomously agreed, 2 meetings makes you a member. Now, I need a point of clarification here, was it 2 meetings period, or 2 consecutive meetings.
Dues: None, if we need money, we will either take up a collection and/or have a fund raiser.
Blog: Invitations to contribute have been sent out to Kim and Sheryl. Jessica, I did not have you email addy available at the time. I promise you will get one.

Now for the fun stuff.
Show&Tell:
Sheryl: Congratulations! She's had another design accepted by Interweave Crochet. A tunisian crochet sweater at that! Way to represent Hooker Mom!
Sheryl is also (as evidence at the meeting) working feverishly on her next freeform art submission. We all wish you the best of luck with this endeavor.
Jessica: Displaying beautiful work on two more of her original designs. One a gorgeous original, heirloom motif shawl-yeah, lime green goes with anything. The other (we will forgive that it was knitted) cuz, O my, knitted freeform-awesome.
Kimberly: Awesome work on her Robyn Chachula vest in Aracuania, course there was also that fabulous crocheted tank she was wearing.
Amy: another gorgeous Robyn C design in the works
Debra: baby sweater-since totally frogged and restarted, also showed her very first crochet item from when she was 8-contrasted with her latest. Weird.......

Ok-now for the pictures (evil laugh):

Eva's Shawl


I wanted to share my latest FO.

Eva's Shawl: H hook, 3 skeins Buffalo Gold Lux, laceweight buffalo/silk blend, blue & dusty rose.
Modeled by one of my students and much appreciated admirer. I would kill for her figure....just not myself(at the gym).

Next Meeting

Hi All!

Our next meeting is scheduled for April 19th at Dunn Bros. off Hwy 99. I hope to see everyone there. We have a few things on the agenda, like membership requirements. If you would like to add anything to the agenda, just PM me, post here, or grab me at Harp&Hook night!

Since there have been no yarny type bribes offered up and I gave it almost a month.....

Here are the pics of our very first meeting (warning the following may be offensive to some veiwers-just kidding)




Remember! Next meeting April 19th 2-4.

Also, this is y'all's blog. Add a review (yarn, book, pattern), post a pic of your latest project, stop by and say "Hi"..........something. Getting tired of hearing myself talk here.

Love you guys!
