Make stuff with people

Chicago area ladies, you're all invited to an evening of snacking, chatting, and making stuff! Even if you only feel about 2% crafty, that's okay, because we'll have a variety of projects you could choose from and people to help you. Or bring along that thing you've been procrastinating on and finish it in the company of other creative people. Motivation by osmosis. I'm helping to plan this Craft Social with a few friends, and we are terribly excited about meeting you all! To get the details and RSVP, visit the Craft Social site.

    oh, that makes me sad that I can't come. I live about 5 minutes away but I have family in that weekend. I hope it goes fabulously.

    I wish I lived in Chicago! I must say, I really love that you are doing this; what a really neat way to connect this whole blogsphere (I never thought I would ever use that word.....)

    Don't think I'd manage the commute from Melbourne but I'll be dreaming about it.

    I find this to be incredibly unfair : ( How about planning a Craft Social weekend event in Austin!? You can stay in our guest bedroom.

    And here I am, thinking, "Why on earth would Jess, of all people, be having a Soylent Green-themed event?"

    Crafting fits you much better, I do believe.

    Mahan, I was SO confused by your comment, not having seen the movie. I skimmed the plot summary, which didn't give anything away, but now I think I have a guess. This must be about my post title, right?

    Man, that's only 82 miles (1 hr 40) from Milwaukee. I could combine it with an Ikea trip. Hope my hubby hasn't committed us to a holiday cook-out.

    by using the geographical description "chicago area" you might have people from Indiana show up. Are you sure you want people from Indiana at your event?

    OH, man! Wish I could make it, but I'm pretty far away. Too bad I won't be visiting my parents then--they live in the Chicagoland area (that's what you call it, right?). Maybe it will work out sometime...maybe I should send my Mom! That's an idea. She's really crafty.

    Man, I want to organize something like this for Orlando - where are all the crafty ladies hiding at? I'm in the 2 percentile but I'd still like to mingle with crafty like minded women!
