I will be coming to the felt night and I'm looking forward to felting with everyone!!! See ya then, Lori

Fall Never FELT Better!

Ready for a craft? October's Good Things is going to be a fibery good time - and we're not talkin' bran here ladies!



We will be making felted soap (soap wearing a little sweater to create a lathery, scrubby good time) and we will be making a felt gift card holder for fall - that can be adapted for all sorts of occasions.



Date: THURSDAY, October 9 (day after Carey's birthday)

Time: 7 pm

Place: Nolamom's house, 769 E. Magill

Cost: $5.00 for all materials

Please bring: dishwashing-type rubber gloves to protect your delicate hands. No goofy hats required this time, but if you really want to wear your clothes backward go right ahead. We won't stop you.



We may have a special guest expert in felting join us for the evening, if her schedule permits. It promises to leave you all warm and fuzzy, in more ways than one! Please rsvp by commenting to the blog!

Topsy Turvy Tea

I've got a few questions here...

Aren't those HOSTESSES are wearing

their aprons BACKWARDS...

Don't you just LOVE

our HATS?

And...

Isn't it a GOOD THING

to get to play TEA PARTY?

I am so glad I went to the tea!!

Yes, I get it. We are all backwards. You certainly scared me for a minute. I had to read the post over a couple of times. I don't need to bring anything? Can it be any kind of hat or are we going for sunday morning looking hats? I have a spare crazy hat if anyone doesn't have a hat and needs to borrow. Looking forward to having a simply marvelous time!! Lori

Thanks again for coming to the Tea Party!

It was so kind of all of you to attend our tea party. Wasn't it nice to be pampered and not have to bring a thing except yourselves, hat and joke? I know I had a mahvelous time!

Thank you for coming to the Topsy Turvy Tea!

Dear Good Things Girls,

Thank you for coming to the Topsy Turvy Tea. We had a fantastic time together, all of you brought such great jokes/funny stories to tell. Everyone looked so great in their hats. Cheri's scones were delicious and the dessert was too yummy. Of course, we can never say enough about a hot cup of tea.

Once again, Thank you for coming to Tammi's house on September 2nd at 7:00pm.

Fun, Laughter, Tea and Friends what a GOOD THING!

P.S. Thank you for your RSVP to the Blog.

Jean is a very good thing!

So, I'm here. I'm in Marshfield, Wisconsin, visiting our very good friend -- and always a good thing -- Jean, and her husband, Mark. Their home is lovely and they've shown us a very good time. I'm blessed to have been able to visit. I'll tell more later, but here's a few snapshots from our evening. By the way... I would have called, Mom, but no cell service! (Aaah, but I've hacked on to somebody's unsecured wireless network!)

On the way... the most awesome sight of sunflowers as far as the eyes could see. Breathtaking!

Jean and Mark in front of their lovely home.

Did I mention that in the back yard is a river? And wildlife is everywhere. Jean said this morning she had wild turkeys in the back, and that deer always visit to sample her raspberries. If you look closely in this photo, you will see wildlife of another kind... Buddy, the pug, playing while Jean is being silly!

Tomorrow is breakfast before we head back to Chicago and the Stassens go to work. We had a lovely visit. I'm blessed to have been able to visit such good friends.
