Talk about serendipity! I was at the most wonderful summer treat ever (AKA The State Fair) and in the Creative Building where they show all the lovely quilts, knitting/crochet projects, etc., they had this little gem of an installation! I find it amazing and inspiring to our project. The pictures that I took of some of the projects turned out a little weird and fuzzy. Probably due to my excitement. There I was, a solo, overly tattooed, sweaty girl jumping around and squealing like a drunk monkey in front of this display. Wouldn't be surprised if I scared off a few small children in the process. While we, as a group collective, aren't doing a specific color theme for all, some of us did announce our color preferences. Maybe (not next year, but the year after), we can bind the books together and enter them into the fair! Just a thought. I'm a little squirrely that way. We haven't barely started, and I'm making plans two years in advance! Dork.
Anyhow, spent the better part of the morning (almost 3 hours) typing out the emails of who is sending to who while watching Top Chef. I probably could have gotten the list done faster, but was distracted by food. But it's done, the emails are out, and I have already gotten excited responses. What thrills me most is how everyone is SO genuinely into making this a success. I may have organized, but there is no way this could have happened without the other amazing women that I'm working with. We're a very lucky group of people!
