On Wednesday, I was lucky enough to host 3 very crafty girls for an evening filled with fun, food, wine and art. Which are some of my most favorite things, if you don't mind me sayin'! Some lovely items were crafted, and good times were had by all. All in all, a very successful night!
I actually did some prep-work for our art-rendezvous on Tuesday night, since my goal was to make 10 wine bags that I could put on my Etsy site. I thought it would be so much easier to iron, cut and pin all of the bags together before our gathering, since I tend to overtake the space that I'm working in. Plus, I like to sing
Erasure whilst cutting fabric, and it's slightly less embarrassing to do that alone. It's also slightly more embarrassing to admit that. But I did what I set out to accomplish, and by Wednesday I was ready to assemble!

During our crafting session, I sewed and completed all 10 bags which I am
thrilled about! But, that's not all. After drinking copious amounts of wine and stuffing myself full of tiny little hot dogs and pretzels (insert omnom here), I whipped out the ol' painting I've been casually working on for the past 6 or so years. ... I think... I'm actually done. For the moment, here's what it looks like. I love where this painting is at right now. My goal is to find a place in the house where I can hang it up. I haven't had a 'hanging-worthy' painting in quite sometime. SCORE!
