My first Sock Monster...







My first Sock Monster..., originally uploaded by powerbooktrance.



Rose had a sockmonster sewing class this past Saturday. We had four students who each had made their own monster by the end of the afternoon. Pearl and I made homemade pesto pizza for lunch. Rose did a great job of leading everyone through the steps of cutting, sewing, buttoning, embroidery and stuffing. It was fun to warm up a cold Saturday afternoon with a warm crafting circle in our dinning room.



We want to have more classes and are thinking along the lines of rughooking, collaging, oil painting,woodcut printing, pot-holders...



Help us connect with what you want to learn. We would love to do more classes in our home this year so let us know what you are thinking.

I love the thought of coming to a class at your place. I would love to hear more about your experience with the creative process and learning about your journaling and working out ideas visually. I would also be interesting in learning about woodcutting. You all have a wealth of things to share and I am sure there are many people who would love to come to a class.

I had an amazing time at the class and let Rose know that the GRflickr people loved my Sock Monster!!! So much in fact that if she has another class i probably have 6 people who want to take it including me again!
