June Meetin', Plus Show & Tell

For June we met at Suzie's home and had a fun class on Photography by our own Jenny of Cheeky and Swank. She went over the basics of lighting and backgrounds and especially helped all our jewelry artisans figure out how to overcome issues particular to their materials and details of their items.

We also got to know our newest team member, Tara. She does a lot of crocheting and has bags, scarves, and clothing for kids and adults. We look forward to getting to know her better and learning form her experiences.

We also had really yummy treats provided by Liz - Thanks for the goodies!!

The Show and tell inspiration for June was Summer Time, and here are a few of the things we came up with.

Tara - taraduff

This cardigan will fit a size 12 - 18 months. It is hand crocheted by me in 100% cotton. The colors are chocolate brown and sky blue with basketball buttons down the front of the cardigan and one on the hat for trim.

There will be no mistaking your BOY in this rugged looking cardigan with the great boy colors and the basketball buttons! Make your cutie stand out in this cardigan set. It's nice and warm for those cool summer nights and cool fall days in the months to come.

Bonnie - Days Gone By Inc

Bonnie said the summer to her meant travel. This lovely handbound journal is covered in an Old World style map paper. The spine is covered in Italian bookcloth in a rich rust color. It can be used as a travel diary or just to jot down any thoughts. This journal measures 5 x 6 3/4" and has 144 unlined pages in a creamy ivory color.

Blaire - Elliettebaby

Each onesie comes with two hand sewn, interchangable blossoms in coordinating colors that attach to the onesie by velcro with the "hook" side on the flower and the "loop" side sewn to the onesie.

The flowers come on and off easily so they can be a toy during a diaper change, attach to your baby's hair or headband, and are kept looking new by not having to go through the spin cycle in the washing machine.

Liz brought a yellow felted purse, Jan brought a new design for a copper leaf necklace, and Charlene had lots of pretty wire wrapped necklaces.

The new challenge theme for July is Patriotic. That can be the colors red, white and Blue, BBQ's, fireworks, whatever makes think of our great nation.

Also, the next meeting is set for July 8th at 7 pm and Bonnie has offered her home as our meeting place. The agenda is TBA, so I'll post an update when that's figured out. I'm open to suggestions, so leave a comment or email madeforcache@gmail.com with suggestions.
