The Ballard Bunch

While the husband is away, the wife will play...right?

On Friday night we had a late, late night of crafting. Chelsea came up (so glad we've finally met!) and Karen and the kids came over. Each of us brought a project and all of the supplies for everyone and we created away!

Karen
We started the night with Karen teaching us how to make these awesome candle holders for the fall. I was even told that at the $1 store they sell battery operated tea lights - you know I'm going to check that out ASAP!


Chelsea
I've had my eye on Chelsea's felt banners for quite awhile so when she offered to teach us how to make them, I was more than excited! They were relatively easy to do, you just have to have patience for prep work. Can't wait for another!


Today I hung my banner up on my wreath in the dining room. This might be my new favorite way to display. Bring on the other holidays!


Evonne
My contribution was tutu making lessons. Karen and I both made Halloween-themed skirts and Chelsea opted for an all-white version. They turned out cuter than I'd even expected - adding the flower and ribbons was the best touch! And Bree will look so cute dressed as a witch for Halloween wearing hers.


We had so much fun that we've talked about getting together like this more often. And, as with any fun night, the more the merrier! I hope that some of you can join in as we plan more craft nights. Viva Crafting!
