i really like my job

September 13, 2012

all the little details of Craft Weekend are part of the fun for me.
the flowers….the food….the fabric…the quilts….the colors….the music….i love the details.

our sponsors send fabulous swag for each of our guests.
i love working with all of our sponsors!
we had several new ones this month too….so fun!

craft supplies make me happy.
it's a fact.

IMG_20120907_214443

jenny and mari went above and beyond with their aprons.
they were the last to get a sewing machine so they had plenty of time to just keep adding and adding.
patience pays off…their aprons were quite amazing.
but i always love every apron!

we took our field trip out to bearly makin' it and the Mill. (i call it the barn but they call it the Mill)
they were preparing for the arts & crafts fair that is every 3rd weekend in september in hillsboro & marion, ks.
THOUSANDS of women come to these small towns to shop for treasures and crafts
and most of them end up at the Mill too.
can you blame them?

that is THIS WEEKEND…september 15 …..you should go if you haven't ever been!
it's REALLY fun.

i always end up shopping IN THE PHOTOS!
thinking "i didn't see that white canvas basket….i wonder how much that costs….."

there is something for everyone…even the girls who have to fly home can find smaller items.

we couldn't resist a photo shoot on the red and green doors.
they were so colorful…begging to photographed!

it's hard to get four faces in a self portrait on your phone!

we filled up kimberlee's van with very little room to spare.

each time we take our CW girls out i think "they got the best stuff" and i thought it again this time too!

really great finds…some worked really hard too….going through shelves and shelves and boxes of goodies.

when we got back from our antiques adventure these girls were so ready to craft!
they were starting before me! :)

we got everything set up and michelle got everyone started on her canvas project.

we even got to paint with our hands!
i loved getting messy and working on something new.
michelle was encouraging and inspring.
painting is very therapeutic.

i kept these girls busy all evening with several other crafts too.
they worked hard!

lots of detail.
lots of color.
they were committed!

this Craft Weekend was our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
we celebrated an awesome year working together.
we both really and truly LOVE our jobs.

this was what time i went to bed on saturday night.
2:47 AM
but knowing that everyone felt satisfied with their projects and could sleep well is a good feeling.

mari and cathy with their finished canvases.
i wanted to take a picture of everyone holding theirs…and i forgot.
too much going on at the end to remember i guess.

i hope we have kimberlee's cinnamon rolls at CW forever.
or at least that i can get kimberlee to make them for me forever.
they are unreal….soft and fluffy with thick yummy frosting.
they are HER OWN recipe and they are worth getting up for after going to bed at 2:47.

and seriously…ALL the food Kimberlee prepares for us all weekend is wonderful!
i am blessed by her thought and time and love that goes into every meal….and especially dessert.

jenny with her loot from the barn and her crafts…she made her bag and her word.

they made plenty of headbands.

we covered wire with strips of fabric and bent it into words or letters.
this was addicting.

we decorated the wood bunting sent to us by our sponsor SayHello Shop. (you need these at your house!!!)
they each painted the back with chalkboard paint and then decoupaged fabric to the opposite side.
i was LOVING these!!!

and the aprons….
they are all just so GREAT!!!

brooke….i am sorry again that i missed your apron.
bummer.
it was beautiful!

let's meet our crafters……

becky from canada robyn from canada

heather from canada aime from oklahoma

brooke from georgia shara from virginia

rebecca from georgia cassie from missouri

shelley from california jenny from oklahoma

cathy from oklahoma mari from oklahoma

michelle from oregon alyssa from kansas

love these girls.

this poor little man that walked by just as we set our timer….he was very confused by us!!!

michelle and alyssa were like super hero helpers!
everything done before asking….meals came together easily…dishes…cleaning…they were such a blessing!

roomie pictures!

whatever craft weekend has become something kimberlee and i couldn't have imagined.
it's a time of refreshment. it's a time of inspiration for people who thrive on creativity.
it's an encouragement for those who have missed that side of themselves for awhile.
it's a way to meet new friends. it's a safe place to be yourself.
it is so much more than i thought it would be.
i just wanted to make crafts with women.
and here we are a year later….80+ women served….feeling like God has given us an awesome opportunity to serve HIm by serving these women with a time of refreshement and creativity.
they can go home feeling inspired, pampered and ready to be their best.
it's pretty cool!!

to get on the Whatever Craft Weekend wait list…..first READ THIS and then email whatevercraftweekend@yahoo.com to get put on the list.
the list is very long BUT we chose by random number so you never know when you could get picked!

getting your name on the list is the ONLY WAY to get to Craft Weekend.

i miss all you crafty girls!!
hope you have caught up on your sleep and have had a great week!!

Felicity - You’ve inspired me and I start my craft night in 2 weeks! eek!
What wire did you use for the words?
Big hugs xx

Sarah{Handbags*N*Pigtails} - I wanted to pop back in and let you know I was inspired by your fabric wrapped wire art and did something on a smaller scale with our youth group girls. I just started a youth craft night with them and this was our first project. They LOVED it!
I blogged about it here.
Thanks for the inspiration Meg:)

Penny Smith - OHHH! I think I am really hoping we get to do the wood banner next month! So darn cute!!
Making me even more excited for next month! 🙂

melinda quinn - i am soooooooo wanting to come to one of your workshops….when and where is the next one? peace, melinda
ps…i agree people building is hard! my last one just flew away to college this fall and i am haunted by all the mistakes…broken promises and wasted time! my only saving grace is that love covers a multitude of sins. keep up the good fight!

Jill - Does Kimberlee SHARE her cinnamon roll recipe? I looked for it on her blog but either missed it OR….it is a VERY BIG SECRET????????

Kristina - It’s just always gets better and better! I’m glad the list is very, very long so hopefully one day I can sign up. It is on my bucket list!

DanaD@BoysMyJoys - I know these are two polar opposite thoughts, but…
-I loooove Kimberlee’s shoes!
-Even though I’m on the list, I’d love even more to come to CW as a helper! That’s more my love language. So, if you ever need another set of willing hands, you have a volunteer right here! 🙂

Christel - Wow, I love your aprons!! You have an amazing job!

Eva Scott - Would you consider doing a tutorial for the headbands and the aprons? Pretty please!?!?!

northern cottage - i love your job too! I feel so blessed that we get to glimpse into the creativity and the color and the fun and the love obviously present! thank you girlie!

Amy @littlefora littlewhile.blogspot.com - I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to be coming to CW in November! I have been plagued with morning sickness for the better part of 10 weeks now, and i’m treating CW as my reward for getting through it (for the 3rd time now!) Can’t wait to meet you and KImberlee! xo

emily anderson - i want to come!!
mainly because i want to see your craft weekend house. i’m sure the pictures don’t do it justice!

Jamie Van Nuys - there is so much happy going on in this post! I love all of the colors and patterns 🙂

Melinda - I know Shelley! We went to high school together. Such a sweet girl. I hope I can make it some day!! Happy Anniversary!

Jessica - Loving the wire words! I think it would be a great craft for my daughter’s upcoming birthday party! What gauge wire did you use?

melodee@polkadotnotebook - you girls are just adorable. I wish I could just step through my computer screen and be in the craft weekend…I love the pics from it all! so inspiring, so cute, looks sooo fun!

Kristin S - So fun to see the faces of the women for whom I prayed!

Ashlyn@Pinecone - I love how the wire letters turned out – that was a really cute idea instead of making the necklaces! xo

Mary Jo - Wow! Looks like so much fun! Were Becky and Robyn from Canada twins?

Anne - Wow! Every time I see one of these posts, I cross my fingers and hope that my name will get drawn next! What an amazingly fun weekend it looks like y’all had. I love, love, love the fabric wrapped wire words! Are they wire hangers, or thinner gauge? The link to Jenny’s page isn’t working for me. What’s her blog, please? I love her green pants! So fun!!

Shara - You SHOULD love your job!!!Fulfilling your calling, what an amazing way to serve, thrive, and give! Thanks again to all you wonderful ladies who made the weekend such a time of encouragement and inspiration! Even on a limited amount of sleep, it rocked!!!

Brooke - Meg, it was so fun. Just an amazing time to hang out with other amazing women, with amazing food and fun crafts. The house is DREAMY! I wish you could come to Georgia and arrange all my stuff to be as AMAZING as you have done in the craft house. Maybe your next job should be to style homes…for people that have your amazing style!! I’m glad we were able to be there for your one year anniversary. Such a great weekend.
I hope you aren’t trampled by the 50,000 craft hoarders coming into Kansas this weekend…. And, you should love your job! You are great at it!

Brooke - Mari’s pants were Matilda Jane. You can find ones like them here.
https://www.matildajaneclothing.com/shop.php?CategoryID=11
I was at craft weekend this weekend, so I checked them out 🙂

Sarah - i would love to have your job too! infact i’ve toyed with the idea of hosting a craft day (i’m a youth director at a church so i can’t committ a whole weekend at this point) up here in northern mn. do you have any pointers/tips?

we hung some new artwork in a few bedrooms.
this big print is from urban outfitters…mounted onto fabric….frame from michaels…that i spray painted yellow.

katie daisy. :)

we brought in the yellow cabinet i scored at the barn last month at CW.
it is so sweet.
it even has a little lock on the inside…it was made well!
and clearly well loved.

a new fall favorite on the snack table….mmmm.

pam garrison's print are lovely in the swag.

everything set up and ready for 12 new friends to come.

IMG_6749-12

Katie - You are killing me with all of these Craft Weekend photos! I think it may be time for me to price flights from Nova Scotia 🙂

Amber - It’s a good thing I didn’t know you were having Craft Weekend this weekend. I drove by Marion on my way to Wichita and it would have taken more self control than I have to keep myself from stalking Bearly Makin’ It in hopes of running into you. 🙂

Shara - Hey Rachel!!!!!

april - Oh man that looks like so much fun! What a wonderful craft space you have created Meg! xoxo

Martha - What fun! All the pictures are beyond beautiful! All those fabric choices – WOW! A crafter’s dream. 🙂

Robyn Farmer - Another Robyn with a “y”!

elma - OH I love CW pictures!! Take loads of pictures!! I still want a polka dot ruffle apron:) Are they hard to make???

Becki - I love to lok at these posts and soak in all of the colors and beautiful gorgeousness! Thank you for sharing!

Lisa - For the first time in 11.5 yrs of parenting I did a planned craft with my 4 kids. I am so not creative or crafty but my oldest really wanted too. It actually went really well and they had lots of fun. You’ve inspired me! (Although it may be another 11.5 yrs before I do another one! haha!)

Michelle From Australia - Canadians? Are they your first international crafters? I had always secretly hoped the first international crafter (who can’t sew!) would be mine 🙂

kathy - EVERYTHING is so gorgeous! Wonder, could I ask you about your quilts? Where do you find them & how do you clean/wash & dry them when needed. I have a couple that are older and not so sturdy and I’m kind of afraid to toss them in the washer/dryer. In my dreams my house would look like the Craft house! Such a happy place!

Wendy - I love the candy corn and peanuts!! It tastes just like Butterfingers! 🙂

Tiffany - Eekkk! Each CW post makes me even more excited for my turn in November!

elma - OH I just love the CW weekend and all the pictures!! Can’t wait to see more pictures!!!!

Rachel Spin - My friend Shara is there with you all! Hi Shara! I hope you are having a fabulous time!

April R - inspired! 🙂
I think I have a can of yellow spray paint in the garage… 😉
(prayin’ y’all have an beautiful time!)

Kristin S - I love your Craft Weekend posts!
That house continues to be amazing.
Praying for you ALL.

Christy K - Looks like you girls are having a fantastic time already (how could you not? I mean, really)! Keep the craft house pictures coming… love all of the new details! That yellow cabinet? Swoon city. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! 🙂

Lisa - Your house always looks sooo dreamy for Craft Weekend, it’s my happy place to look at the pictures 🙂 Love your apron, such great fabrics, in two of my favorite patterns, polka dots and rainbows…LOVE! Have fun!

Tiffany - Luck favors the prepared. Have fun, I’m off to check out what Urban Outfitters has to offer, HOLLA!

KirstenP - I always love to see the riot of colors from Craft Weekend. The child’s xylophone is a sweet addition to the ‘You Are Beautiful’ print and colorful daisy bouquet. Did anyone play a good morning tune on it?
BTW, cashews go really well with candy corn!

roganne - love the yellow side table!! it is totally adorable and the perfect shade of cheery yellow 🙂

Lorraine R. - So I’ve been following you for a short time and love LOVE the craft weekends! I’m trying to figure out how it all works……the craft house is seperate from your house right? It’s so cute!!! I love the bedrooms and especially the sweet cabinet/dressers in between the beds <3 So perfect!!!!

melodee@polkadotnotebook - oh how fun! I love your craft weekend pix! I love love love the pennants and bubble lights strewn across the room:)

Eugenia - This must be what heaven looks like…

Linda - Looks so happy and beautiful. I want to surround myself with that! Love it All. Happy craft weekend!

Lanny Lou - So jealous but so happy for y’all have fun ladies !

Kimberly - “thou shall not covet”.
please tell me that doesn’t apply to thy southern neighbor’s amazing craft weekends.

Sarah{Handbags*N*Pigtails} - I never get sick of seeing the Craft House…and all the swag!:) Hoping this weekend is even better than all the previous ones. Sounds like it will be since you were well prepared to begin with. Have fun girls!

Love To Crochet - This looks like an absolute blast. Your faces express how everyone enjoyed it. Loving the colors and the aprons…or are they some sort or “club” uniform:) Would love to do something like this. Thanks for sharing your day!

rachel / cr.e.at.e - okay, this is wild. i looked over all the faces & honestly thought “that’d be weird if i knew someone …” and i KNOW SOMEONE. since i haven’t seen this person in 17 or 18 years [since she graduated a year before me], i hopped over to your craft blog to look at more photos to be sure. CRAZY. bethany went to my grade school & high school in st.louis! definitely a small world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! looked like a total BLAST!!!!!!

misty - crap- this is what I meant to show you lol http://www.according-to-kelly.com/2012/05/ragnar-so-cal-the-sparklicious-swaggerwaggon/

Even in the midst of being a young mother, she is still an inspiration to this old mom. 🙂
Christ in her is so evident.
Hugs From My Heart

You seem to do it all! Would love to come to craft weekend sometime if I can save up the moola! Everyone always looks so happy, must feel great to be able to do that! Thanks for the giveaway, looks like a must have book! Love your blog, love your vibe. Sometimes I want to live in your world if just for a day!

Jennifer - this book looks awesome…love all of the happy colors!

Kim T - That looks like such a HAPPY book, and I’m in serious need of a little happy right now! Thanks for the giveaway! Love your blog.

Alice H - Thank you for the giveaway. I want to come to Craft Weekend so bad. I just hope that if/when my name gets drawn, I will find a way to afford it.

Penny Smith - Is there a way I should check to see if I am still on the wait list? Cuz I watch them go by and wonder how long the list must be to be not called up yet having been put on the list when the first one went down? (Big giant pout!!) :0)

catie - i’m pretty sure i met your husband tonight at an open house we had at my work…i was going to ask him if he was married to you and then gush about your blog but i decided not to bug him. i was pretty sure i would embarrass myself somehow! 🙂

Jenna@CallHerHappy - i was just telling my hubs how jels i was of craft weekend. he thinks i should go. well, maybe i will be so lucky one day!

Stephanie@geezees - love the aprons + great pic 🙂

Lorie - Those aprons are BEYOND cute!!

Elizabeth - I have to tell you that I went to Barely Making It Antiques while visiting my sister in Wichita! I guess I just missed your crafting crew by a day! The ladies there were SOOOOOO sweet! They were kind enough to open the shop just for my sis and I…… and then gave my crying two year old a book for the ride home! Loved it!

Karen Gerstenberger - I love reading your craft weekend posts, Meg. This is a great calling for you!

Jenny B. - Ha! I was just wondering if you made a new apron each time. 🙂
