for the bat chandeliers-
everyone needs to bring -

* a pack of glue dots ( megan suggested using your micheals, roberts, or ben franklin coupon)
* embroidery hoops- AND YOU NEED TO PAINT THEM BLACK BEFORE YOU COME!!! it looks like you need three of varying sizes from big to little ( you can get them at craft stores or di or your granny's!)
* a few dollars to cover the cost of the paper, tuelle and fishing line


i will get the tuelle and fishing line, megan has the punch already and may be able to get the paper... yeah i am so excited this is a cute project and i am so ready for halloween!

for the time i was thinking 8:00 so the kids will be in bed. does that work? everyone bring your favorite fall food to share and some copies of the recipe. we will be meeting in my grammy sue's basement so we better behave. any suggestions on anything else?

so i lied.... first craft will not be the earrings. apparently the shop i wanted to purchase the supplies from in in hong kong , and shipping takes 1 -2 weeks.oops. we will still be having crafty night on Thursday if you guys want. i was thinking of the cute bat chandelier from meg's store see here for directions. is everyone good with that? let's get a headcount if you plan on coming or not. tell me in the comments if you plan on coming this time or not. thanks.

any friends interested in joining our super cool craft group?our first project will be vintage cabachon jewlery- email me @ jacquelynbateman@hotmail

looky what i found! a whole blog dedicated to artwork based on where the wild things are called Terrible yellow eyes! These are a few of my favs. Check out more here. i love them all but this is perhaps my favorite.
