August Newsletter

Hi Ladies,

Welcome back to our second half of the painting year. I hope everyone had a great summer. There were a few of us that got together in July at Kay’s home and we made some pretty neat fascinators. I can’t wait for the tea party to see what everyone has done for the fascinator contest. We will also have some fascinators to raffle off during the tea party. I hope everyone can make it for at least some of the time so you can see what fun things we have coming up for the second half of the year. We will have sign-up sheets there and hopefully samples so everyone can have a look-see. We do have some fun stuff coming up for the rest of the year. I hope to see you all there and I hope you have the rest of a great summer.

July Newsletter

Hello Ladies!

I am sorry this is so late. I am hoping everyone has a great 4^th of July. I have been out of town with my husband for our 30^th wedding anniversary. WowJ

We are having a meeting in July for those wishing to attend. This will be held at Kay’s Home and we will be making fascinators for our opening social in August.

You will need to bring your own glue gun and materials to make your fascinator. Don’t forget your glue sticks. We will also be doing a potluck, so if you can think of some yummy thing to share then please bring that. We will start at 10:00 a.m.  and Kay is so excited to show us her new covered patio. It will be a lot of fun for those attending.

Retreat was fabulous. We really had a lot of fun and tons of good food. We missed all those who couldn’t make it this year. We made beautiful ornaments and painted Nativity trees and watercolor cardinals and cute toadies. We really had fun and learned some new things while we were at it. Thank You to the retreat committee and all of the hard work that went into retreat. Hazel and Betty painted these wonderful nametags for each one of us, (just in case we forgot who we were). Next year’s retreat theme is Spring/Summer/ Bunnies and I am looking for classes right now, so if you have any ideas then please let me know.

August is our opening social and we will be doing the tea party at Kay’s home, also. This will begin at4:00 p.m. and we will also be doing our service project which is dresses for the Women’s Guild. This can be dresses, skirts, tops, dress pants, etc.. Anything that a Woman can use to go to work or a job interview in. I always look forward to Kay’s tea parties because she always comes up with the greatest ideas. They are always so much fun.

September is our Bill Bayer Seminar. It will be on the 18, 19, and 20^th. The cost is $85.00 a day andThursday and Friday will be one two-day project and Saturday will be a one-day project. We will go home with two beautiful oil paintings at the end of the seminar. It is always fun to learn something new and try new things.

I look forward to seeing everyone at Kay’s for the fascinator class and Happy Painting!

Retreat Update

It is time to start getting your paints and brushes ready for a weekend of FUN! There are a few other items you might want to pack such as clean dainties and a toothbrush. 

We look forward to starting the bash at dinner time on Thursday evening around 6:00, of course you are welcome to arrive anytime after 3:00. If you do arrive early we might just put you to work. 

Here are a few changes that you should be aware of regarding the Retreat: 

• Glenna's Snow Globe will be taught on Friday at 3:00 pm. If need be, you will finish it after dinner
• Betty's Snow Owl will not be taught, she will have patterns and instructions for the two who signed up.  
• Judy will teach the three tree nativity all day Friday. There is still room and there are wood pieces available
• BYOB - we will have bottled water there however if you need any loaded liquids please bring your own, that way we won't have left over drinks to dispose of.  

Looks like it is going to be a beautiful weekend for us in the mountains of Midway. 

A HUGE shout out to JoLynn for letting us use her beautiful family home once again. 

See y'all on Thursday, drive safe and bring your party mojo!

June Newsletter

Hi Ladies.

I can’t believe it is June already. 

I am hoping everyone had the chance to look at and sign up for retreat projects. I haven’t seen the sign-up sheets yet, but I hope everyone had a chance to see the projects and hopefully come and join us at retreat. Those toads are “toad-ally” cute!

Our meeting in May was great. We had quite a few UFO’s being worked on and Betty V. taught us the finger crochet scarves, which I have made several of since then. Totally fun! I love hanging out with such fun and crafty women. I feel like I always learn something new.

Our retreat is this month and there are some neat projects to do. If you didn't sign up for anything, hopefully you can come up and spend some time just hanging out. You couldn't ask for a nicer group of women to laugh and have fun with.

We are going to do a July Meeting for those wishing to attend. I know it is a busy month, but we will be meeting on July 21, which is our normal Saturday, to make fascinators. Kay wore her fascinator to the May meeting and it was just fun. She will be helping us make them for this July meeting, if you would like to participate. You will need to bring your own glue gun and glue sticks and whatever bling you want to put in your fascinator. ( ribbon, bows, feathers, flowers, bling, etc..) Kay had a really cute paper teacup on her fascinator. I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with.

Happy painting and I look forward to seeing everyone again.

May's UFO Meeting

We had so much fun at this meeting. I think we all needed some time to paint together and visit with no pressure. This was a real brain scrubber.

Betty VanPelt taught us how to do finger crochet. We learned how to crochet an infinity scarf using one skein of yarn. Accepting the fact that we are all in our forties (with a few years added) we couldn't just jump into this intense project without warming up and doing some finger calisthenics.

Gail and Linda are ready to go

Roberta was wondering why?

Look at all of these scarves that Betty has made, trust me, this is not all of them!

Betty's handiwork. Need a gift? Give Betty a call!

Paint? Oh yes, we did paint! There was a myriad of unfinished projects brought and worked on, and the miracle of it all - some even got finished! 

Thanks to all who supported this UFO - it was a blast. Don't forget to join us at our annual retreat in just a few weeks. Life doesn't get much better than painting at JoLynn's beautiful summer mountain home.  Many thanks to her for her continual hospitality and support of our group.
