Saturday Craft Night

This week we decided that we would learn how to knit. Michelle was our teacher this week and taught us how to start (cast-on) and also do a basic knit stitch. Hopefully, I will be able to get the hang of it and actually knit something! It took me about an hour and a half to do 5 rows of stitches. In the beginning I thought big by wanting to do a scarf. I soon realized that I am not an awesome knitter and decided to think small and now I want to knit a bracelet. I think it would look rad.

First Dessert Night

This is the beginning of a new tradition. We actually decided to start our desert/craft club. On our first night we decided to make chocolate chip scones and hot caramel apple cider. It was a lovely fall night and everything was delicious. We didn't take pictures but I will do better next week.

Just throwing it out there

I have some ideas for some get togethers. This is for my own good so that I remember. I want to do a "make something new" night. Where a each week a group gets together and learns to make a drink, dish or a dessert. I like the drink called a tequila sunrise naturally, it would be minus the alcohol. I want to increase my skills in the kitchen.


I also want to do a craft night where a small group gets to learn a new crafty skill. I want to learn how to make beanies and other cute things.


On a side note, I got these rad John Deere fruit snacks. They are in the shape of a tractor, farm house, sun and even a cute little pig AND they taste good. Man my life is good.
