oooohh I'm so interested!

[MyrnaLoy]

i have the 15th off! I wanna go!

ever since I saw the earrings ya'll made, I want to make some too

[Brae_Day]

I'm down with the bead fair... and how convenient, the first day is on PAY DAY! 

[Roxylu]

so do any of you have a preference in day (sat or sun) /time??  i don't work so i don't really care but let's establish a meeting place time and day...yess?
jane:  i;m stuch aagain what the helll is a gussett??  sounds painful.  and how do:

Rnd 1, needle 3: P2, K1, pm, m1, pm, cont in patt as established
Rnd 2, needle 3: Sm, m1, k1, m1, sm, cont in patt as established

I understand the first rnd, and made it through that fine....assuming that continue the patt as established means the ribbing...hopefully!  the second is where I get confused. How am I supposed to slip the marker when there are 3 stitches before it? this project is starting to get really expensive..you know with all the beer breaks i have to take out of frustration!

i forgot one last thing: 
mckenzie:  wee you gonna teach us how to make those purty little flowers you were making???  what should i bring kuz i really want to learn.  i want to put them on little hair pin things so that i can wear them to work with my boring uniform and spice things up a bit.   
so yeah let me know and maybe if anyone else is interested in learning they can bring stuff too!!!  only if your willing of course.

If we aren't going on a shopping spree this weekend, I'd be glad to teach anyone who is interested! The flowers that Roxana is talking about are sort of like the ones you can see on my friend Michelle's website, *r*e*l*i*s*h*. If you are interested in making them, you'll need the folowing items-

-sewing needle
-cute fabric that you like (quilting fabric is good & so are plain, solid colors for your first flower) at least about 8"x 6". (The petals are made out of either 2" squares or 3" squares. I like to use 7 or 9 petals per flower)
-thread to match
-a different matching fabric
-scissors
-a bead/button/anything you would like to put in the center
-a pin back/hair clip/puppy/whatever you might like your flower to be attached to

A glue gun helps, but I can bring mine so we don't blow a fuse! Yikes!
