craft night:march

we had our second monthly craft night this last tuesday and we had decided to do the whole dishware decorating with permanent markers.

when we first looked it up we found that it didn't work for a lot of people, and that when they washed them it rubbed off.

so we researched it a bit and found that if you clean your plate or mug or whatever you're drawing on with alcohol and then wear gloves, it won't come off after you bake it.

yay for us!

here are a few pics:

i decided to do mustache mugs :)

here are the plates and bowls i did:

these are my friend, kirsten's:

it ended up bein just me and kir for most of it and we had a blast listening and gushing over the les miserables movie album and drawing on our plates :)

next month: magazine bowls. {its gonna be a hard one i know it}

monthly craft night

if you know me...and know me well...you know i hate doing crafts. absolutely hate it. i'm not good at them, they're time consuming, and....did i mention i'm not good at them?

i have the proud attitude that if i'm not naturally good at something...i don't like to do it. i know....it's stupid. but i'm trying to get over it.

hence....monthly craft night with my lady friends.

i see all these super cute ideas and "diy"'s on pinterest and what not and i want to do it so badly...so some friends and i decided to have a monthly craft night....cause they're crafty...and can teach me their ways...or i can just copy them. which is what i normally do.

so for february we made banners.

i made one that says "love" for v-day.

and one that says "reece"

they turned out pretty cute.

and since i'm not living in my own space...and have no where to put it..i haven't hung up my "reece" one quite yet. but it is super cute, believe me :)

for more awesome and better pictures of our evening go to my friend, Kirsten's, blog post.

p.s. thought i would share that lately absolutely all of my spare time has been dedicated to watching downton abbey.....OOOOH how i love it. i'm finally on season 3...almost all caught up! yay for me!
