love, love, love...

it's all around...this week has been such a reminder of that. last night was another craft night.

i love getting together with everyone. ah is funny because she doesn't craft, but that's okay because she is there and that is the important thing. j was our surprise guest, the other j was our embroidery leader extraordinaire, l and l were doing there own thing amazingly well and making us laugh simultaneously, boyfriend j was a total trooper with 7 women in the house. he sat with us the entire time and cheered his girl on. m was hilarious with her perfectionism and her pillow case looks adorable. i think b will treasure it for years to come. and dd was so focused! can't wait to see the tattoo t-shirt!

craft night has turned into a night to just be amongst friends and chat. i think there was maybe even a little networking going on last night. love it! it's so nice that other folks are starting to join in. it's fun to meet new people and get to know them in a calm setting. it's also really satisfying to make something with your hands after pounding away on a keyboard all day and sending all of your work into outer space. it's also nice to be able to show up with your hair looking like a bird's nest and not really care. don't worry m, l & j, i totally brushed it out today and j, you keep that picture of the "really crazy" hair to yourself!

i hope everyone else enjoys it as much as i do. i adore being surrounded by such an amazing group of friends. yes, i yelled at both j's for riding their bikes without helmets, but it's because i love them and want them around for many years to come. all i can say is love, love, love...

i just threw up in my mouth a little...this post is a little nauseating. sorry, can't help it!
