Group for our guild on Facebook!

Good afternoon everyone!

I just wanted to let you know that I have created a group on Facebook with our information. Just one more way to get our name out there. It is called West Side Chain Gang (a West Houston crochet group). I will post events for each month's meetings and have discussion threads available.

So, if you are on Facebook... look us up, pass us on and get involved! Wouldn't it be cool to have Drew, Sheryl or other big name designers advertising our group by it being listed on their Facebook page?? You should be able to find it by searching crochet then choosing to display only groups and only Houston, TX network. I tried to make it pretty easy to find. Let me know if you have problems or suggestions for that matter!

Next Meeting

May 17th. 2 pm. Dunn Bros. Coffee on Westheimer @ SH99.
See y'all there!

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):

News flash
