A Rather Large Weekend

These days, my large weekends are filled with less darkened rooms and loud music and more with beautiful tiny cupcakes....The non-stop crafty action began on Thurday night, with a Bags for Beginners Class, followed by a bit of Slinky Malinky tail-and-ear-making for Book Week dress-up day on Friday.And yes... running short of time, photos were taken while teeth were cleaned on the way to the car.Friday was spent clearing the tables upstairs and downstairs (no mean feat...all the gear from the AQC was still dumped on the downstairs cutting tables) to create cutting space for a Pattern-Free Wrap Skirt class. Then it was off to dinner with a fab bunch of bloggy, crafty chicks (cue Cathie's cupcakes - Appearance #1).

Saturday was the skirt class.

We saw some great results, front and...

...back.

Embracing the theory of "There is no such thing as a fault in the fabric - only another opportunity for a design feature", Sheree made a fabulous Kaffe Fassett racing stripe on the back of her skirt.

Sunday morning saw me flapping about like a flock of headless poultry... and ummmm....running out of petrol in an unkown suburban street, without my phone...(ahem.... move on...), buying WAY TOO MUCH beer and wine and finally making it to a little gathering of nearests and dearests and fabulous bloggy friends, to break a metaphorical bottle of champagne over my book.

Cue cupcakes - Appearance #2.

Phew! I made it out the other side.

It kind-of makes me feel like putting my feet up to relax with a good book. And possibly another cupcake.

BTW- New Wrap Skirt Class is scheduled for 10th September.

Another BTW - Wee girl models a Twirly Skirt from my book (in a somewhat unladylike pose), made at Sewjourn last weekend.
