We held a craft and hobby night, and many of the moms (and a couple of older sisters -- thank you!) took charge of each of several stations. We communicated via email to choose these, and the results were overwhelmingly excellent. (The photos below will help better explain each of them.) That night, once we gathered in our circle to greet each other and explain the night, we let the the girls loose. The moms stayed at their stations to help, though had opportunities to roam a bit, too. The girls hopped freely from table to table to try everything once or twice or seven times. This event was too short and everyone requested a repeat soon!
Two of the older sisters kindly taught everyone how to finger knit.
My girls and I had to run out to purchase some yarn for at home after they mastered this craft.
Because we were so close to Christmas, and all of us celebrate this holiday,
Kori taught the girls how to tie lovely ribbon Christmas trees.
This table had all things card-making; cool papers, rubber stamps and pads, embossing tools and powders. I aided the ladies as they created gift tags and cards for their holiday presents.
Here Michelle and Sara demonstrated how to sew an adorable Christmas ornament. Michelle, the resident quilt extraordinaire, already had all the materials at home for this craft.
Elizabeth's idea of creating edible art was brilliant! Especially when you could nibble your creation throughout the night. She wisely brought healthy options along with a few treats.
Jen and Cali worked on finger knitting -- some of those ropes were exceptionally long!
