How I Spent My Weekend

Friday:

drive to LA with a buddy, have dinner at a great place, meet up with another buddy who moved away several months ago - reunion!! -

and take a necklace making workshop at French General as part of their Art of Craft weekend.

Saturday: play with grandgirls while one daughter goes to doctor (asthmatic bronchitis), and son/DIL go to the movies (Hobbit 2 - excellent!)

Sunday: drive back to LA,

intending to take just the tapestry weaving workshop -

this will be a pincushion once all the tails are woven in and the backing sewn on -

and end up staying for the iconic shrine workshop

when there's a late morning cancellation for the sold-out class. Score!

Hand-sewn antique pearls and gold rings,

flowers dipped in wax,

old book pages - with sheep!

Surprised me that I enjoyed this workshop so much. And next year? Pretty sure I'll be signing up for the entire weekend.
