Lipstick & Aprons

skip the dishrag.
step away from the chapstick.

we stepped out in our finest today.
our own homemade aprons and some bright lipstick.

yes, we were the talk of the town.
you should have seen the finger-pointing.
the gasps.
total movie star status walking down Pollasky.

okay, so not really.
but i'd like to think we had some people talking.

we had fancy pants high tea today at the Victorian Rose Tea Cottage in Clovis.
and yes, we did reapply our lips.

June: Ceramic Windchime Class

Melissa collecting botanicals for her windchime imprints.

Hard at work perfecting their windchimes.

Al Tagress showing Joni how it's done.

June's meeting was a botanical imprint ceramic windchime class taught by Al & Bobbi Tagress of Tagress pottery. They are our local potters. It was a beautiful day to be outside, learn a little about pottery and enjoy the beautiful Intermountain Nursery.

April Showers

...brought farmgirl flowers.

Shauna hosted our foodtastic meeting and made us all our very own farmgirl canvas bags that folds up all fancy-pants.

  

Everyone brought yummy dippers to attend Shauna's fondue creations.

{So delicious}

There may or may not have been a small fire.
It's possible that there was some screaming involved.
Let's just say "if" there really was, the key is to never move flaming gel across a beautifully decorated table and carpet.
Just saying if.

Anywho.

We also got our assignments for our Share-Op and some seeds to start in our gardens.
Always a good time with these gals.

It also just might have been a certain someone's birthday that day.
And that so called "fire"....it was just a happy birthday candle, really.

March Madness

Our March Meeting was a two-for-one special.

On Friday we donated some of our time to our local Mountain Wear

to help sort and purge clothing.

We later rendezvoused to Lloyd Mountain to have an

old-fashioned slumber party...mommy style.

Amy surprised us with 20 minute chair massages from "Heavenly Hands."

We enjoyed dinner, chit-chatting without kiddos, and lovely libations.

We closed out the "morning" by getting a few hours of sleep before starting breakfast

that was cooked by all. Yum and FUN!

Later, the farmgirls hosted a clothing swap.

Everyone brought bags of unwanted, still in great condition clothing and

laid them out on the ground for the taking.

Leftovers went to our favorite local organization, Mountain Wear!

Sew Crazy!

We sewed.

We snacked.

We solved.

We swapped.

We put together our take-along sewing kits, packed up our sewing machines and headed to the Ridgetop Farm for our meet-up.

We each brought a dish from our week's worth of budget friendly recipes and swapped them out so we ended up with 8 weeks worth of worry-free cooking!

We worked from a pattern to create our half aprons. While some of us stuck religiously to the pattern, others of us (ahem) decided to buck the system and "free sew."

We had a lot of fun with Amy's mom, her kids, and our newest "honorary member" her hubby Matt. We decided there should be a farm boy. :)
