Stitch n Chicks Summer Party Fun

I'm still stuck with a fallen sidebar and have not been able to get it back up????? Anyone know how to do this????

Still working on my scrap afghan and haven't done much else, but my stitching group had a really fun "Summer T-shirt" party this past Thursday....we got together at my place, played our usual fun game of "Left, Center, Right" and I added a new game with written questions to chose from called "Truth or Dare" Yup we played it and the gals and I never laughed so hard!!! IT was really hilarious....

Then we ate and chatted and did our raffle.... it was a nice evening and the weather turned out to be pretty warm at least warm enough to sit on the patio with my heater on....remember the one my son got me last Christmas...

Spring Fling "Ugly Sweater" Party

We had our annual Spring Fling Party, and this year we added a theme, "The Ugly Sweater" it was so much fun!!! The gals were great and all put their thinking caps on and wore some type of gaudy sweater, half made sweater, and even one that was to be in the future.. LOL....  I hung up photos from last years party from the fan with yarn, we played games and Pat won the door prize of an "Ott" lamp, Donna won the "Guess how much Yarn is in the Pail" yummy....I won the yarn in the left, center, right game...wow...and Priscilla and Shanda were kind enough to bring a basket full of yarn and donated it to the winner of the yarn and I got it all!!!! I'm a happy camper...now to start making projects...I have been online looking for more patterns all day.. :)   Pat won the "Ugliest Sweater" and Donna won "The sweater to mever see the light of Day again" and Patricia won the "weirdest,or funniest" sweater having hung potholders all over her.. :) I decorated mine with tons of pins and buttons.....Shanda won the loot in one of our games....It was a grand evening and we all had a great time...chatting. knitting, and crocheting, and winning trophies, awards, and just munching away on the fantastic pot luck dishes...

I love our get togethers!!!! My yarn group is the best!!!!

Summer Exchange Party and Games

It's summer and we had our summer exchange party with a "Beach" theme this year for my stitching club....8 gals showed up and we had a complete blast....played some fun crochet and knit games, and contests, along with our "kit" exchange,[each person brought the yarn, pattern, and materials to complete a project] that was fun. I made up a story with left, right, and across in it and every time I said those words you had to pass your package in that direction. Then when the story ended whatever package was in front of you was yours. All packages were in "grab" bag style so you didn't know what you got till you opened it.... I got a wonderful pink floral bag filled with older Crochet magazines, yarn, and a pattern for a pretty shawl....yippeee....I also win the game and ended up with 21 skeins of yarn!!! We played a simular game with dice of Left, Center, Right.....that is a blast. Everyone starts with 3 skeins of yarn or $3 or 3 quarters, and then you throw the die until one person is left with a skein and the rest are in the middle...and that person left was ME!!!!!!
