March ‘12 meeting

We had this meeting on my 40th birthday this year. It was a lot of fun. Thanks so much to everyone who came. I had a great time. I hope all of you did too.

Here’s the photos I took:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just click the text for the Peanut Butter Balls recipe for those of you who wanted it. :)  It is also on the side on the blog page if you ever want to find it again. 

Also, here is a link to some photos I took of the Nixon Library lobby.  These photos are of things we can yarn bomb in June.  There are three display cases and one bench.  The legs of the display cases and bench are 5” around.  There are two medal handicap button things.  They are 6” x 4” x 6” x 4” around.  I plan on covering one of them with granny squares. :)  The big poster holder’s legs are 5 1/2” around.  And the bike rack is 5” around too.  I didn’t take pictures of the big columns that we are making blankets to wrap around them but they are 66” around.  There are eight columns.  I didn’t measure the door handles.  I figure we could hang pom poms or other small things from them. :)  There is also a pay phone in the lobby.  I forgot to take a picture of it.  If any of you are interested in bombing something just let me know.  That way I can tell you if someone else is bombing it or not.

Our next meeting will be Saturday, April 21 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the 3rd floor meeting room at the Cox Creative Center in Little Rock.

 

See you then,

Opal
