it’s party time!

i’m almost ready (this means i’m awake…still no face, no clothes, bed head etc) to party! 6 times a year, a group of 14 friends from my area get together just to catch up. we are paired up in 2’s or 3’s (i’m a 2) so my partner and i are hosting next month. it’s deon’s turn to make the plan and she wants to do a “high tea”

obviously, deon is more high faluting that i am since i didn’t even know what a high tea was! but i’m pretty easily led and got into the spirit right quick. usually by the time we are actually hosting our party, we have a plan for the next one.

so about a year ago, i found Betz White’s website and ordered one of her cup of joe patterns. it’s a pin cushion that looks like a cup of joe. get it? my purpose of ordering it was so that i could smallerize it and make tiny pin cushions to use as invitations to our high tea.

so i’ve spent about a year fiddling around with this. i learned to make i-cord and made ALOT of it. i used up an entire skein of yarn just making i-cord. and i went shopping for used wool sweaters and felted them up.

and since i doubt any of the girls will check my blog before the party (now just 30 minutes away…i’ve GOT to get dressed!) i’ll share some pix with you!

ps…..i’ll provide link’s to betz site later…..i’ve got to get dressed as this is not a pajama party!  crap, 17 minutes to do hair, make up and clothing.  hustle woman!
