The theme was embroidery. I got a bunch of books from the library to inspire us. We made felt Easter eggs, felt bunnies, and a bunny embroidery taken from this blog. Everybody found their niche and even the kids helped out or sewed a project of their own.
There was an abundance of sweets, cupcakes, chocolate pretzels, Gianna's cookies, and macaroons! I made some fruit sushi that I saw in Craft's latest zine. I also made some hummus from a recipe my sister-in-law gave me and some homemade naan I made with my bread dough from this recipe.
I'm already looking forward to next month's crafternoon! I'm trying to think of a good mother's day craft.
Hummus:
1/4 cup packed fresh basil
1 clove garlic
1 can of chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
1/2 cup of tahini
3/4 t. salt
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
-In food processor, process garlic and basil until finely minced.
-Add chickpeas, tahini, salt, lemon juice, and olive oil. Process until smooth.
Refrigerate 2hours - 3 days.
I'm so glad your crafternoon was a success. It looks like it was a lot of fun!
