Detail of a handmade project bag from Monica
I’d been waiting for Saturday to arrive for months.
The plan: Crafts, Cake and Chat.
The people: bloggers- Tracy, Ali, Monica, Julie, Val, Nancy and Alice.
The grub: excellent.
There were beautiful gifts (including very chic herb containers from Alice, felted rings from Ali and a daily survival kit from Val).
There were knitting masterclasses, Etsy discussions and debates about twitter.
We saw the Little Cotton Rabbits. They’re even more lovely in real life.
Tiny crochet owls were made and hand knitted socks and tiny cardigans grew longer.
Beautiful vintage cottons from Nancy.
Here is a picture I took on Saturday of a blogger, taking a picture of a blogger, taking a picture of Julie’s cake.
Monica says
what a fab day.
I was full of food I didn't eat anything till Sunday lunch time!. And my cheeks hurt from laughing so much.
Pipany says
Blog meet-ups are rare but usually really good aren't they? Looked as though you all had fun x
Cheryl says
What a fun idea to meet up and craft. I had to laugh at the last photo. Put more than two bloggers in the same room and look what happens.
Rachael Rabbit says
I'm jealous you got to meet those little rabbits in person! (Not to mention yummy cake scoffing in good company…!)
The Coffee Lady says
Oh, like anyone CARES.

That sounds like a really super day. Wish there were some lovely crafty bloggers near me 🙁 But I can enjoy your get together by proxy! Lovely fabrics and that cake looks very yummy.

Oh, you Lucky Lucky girls! How fun to all get together. I only know one other blogger around here — ours would be a quiet meeting LOL. Did you steal a rabbit? And did any of your beautiful silver turn up missing LOL!!!

Oh my goodness.. what a grand and lovely idea! I have been craving something like this.. the company of like minded women. You make me want to begin an "Oregon Bloggers Retreat".. hmmm.. I have a spinners workshop next week, 2 weeks later and a basket making workshop 1 week later, so I guess I'll be getting myself some of that fellowship you had. 🙂
((hugs)), Teresa 🙂
Madelief says
So nice to meet other bloggers. I organised a tea party in the summer. Still have lots of good memories. Your day sounds like fun too!!
Lieve groet, Madelief x

You know that most of the rest of our little corner of blogtopia is green with envy don't you? Thought you did 😀
Lola Nova says
Oh my! I am envious, sounds just lovely!
angharad handmade says
That looks and sounds really lovely. Nothing like spending a day with like-minded friends doing nice things!
Really like your making winter roundup too – I wish I had joined in. Winter is such a nice time for a bit of theraputic homemaking.
Pennyblossoms says
Ooo! Cake!
What a wonderful day. Want to come. Want to come!
All that talent and fun in one place; blogging, it's good isn't it?
