October meeting happenings

Eight members and one guest, founding member Bonnie Wicklund, gathered on Thursday evening to take care of club business and enjoy a travelogue presented by Kris on her travels with Bonnie, sister Donna and member Ruthie to Sweden.

Before the presentation, Wanda presented a set of thank-you cards she created especially for the club and Mary Griesbach showed us the holiday gnome we will be making in November.

Details of the gnome project can be found below. If you didn't sign up at the October meeting, RSVP if you want to participate in this project directly to Mary or with a reply to this blog post in your email, Mary needs to know how many to plan for.

Sock Gnomes project by Mary Griesbach

Each participant should bring 3+ cups of dry, uncooked rice or beans (rice will be cheaper, but beans work really good too), glue gun and glue sticks (if you have them), scissors, and any assorted ribbons, buttons and other embellishments they think they might like to use. I will provide everything else through my own personal stash and parts purchased. In order for someone to think about what they might like to bring themselves for their gnome, they can go to YouTube and view a couple videos about how to make Sock Gnomes. My method is a blend of what they are going to see in the videos.
Materials cost will be $5.00 for each kit.
