A Lurking and a Party

Dearest friends

your forgiveness I beg

for although sharing with you has been on my mind

it has been prevented

by the enormous obstacle sitting quietly on my sunny window seat.

It really might as well be

a wide eyed monster

with glaring teeth

ready to jump at me when I come close,

for so I have been avoiding it

these many days.

Great events have come and gone

and projects have transpired

that I have not shared,

for with the scary creature always lurking

all pictures have remained

trapped on my friendly camera.
What is this monster, you ask?

It's this new fangled

someday-I-will-be-happy-with-it Mac.

Alas this evening I stole away my busy husband
who gave it to me in the first place,
thinking it will be helpful in the long run.
I happen to think the run really is going to be longgggg, indeed.

Simply a few minutes of desperately needed assistance

and the monster has been reduced to merely an annoyance.
Although I'm sure the lurking creature will lurk again,
I have, at last,

both a project and an event to share

with you,
my patient friends:

We had a party!

 

 A pillow case party!

 

And as you can see

by all the smiles

and silliness

that memories 

along with these cozy pillow cases were made

at our great

pillow case making party.

This is another perfect project to make with kids or if you are a beginner. It comes together in a snap, has all straight lines, and would make a lovely Christmas gift for anyone.  Check out this video tutorial, then gather the kiddos  or a few of your own friends to have some fun! Here is another pillowcase I recently made.
