My Lunch and Craft Date

Yesterday, I had an outing at Patti's, where I also met up with Michelle and Teresa.
Patti invited us to her place for lunch and then Teresa came up with a great and easy craft for us all to do together right there in Patti's kitchen.
Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling the absolute best because while I was getting ready to head to Patti's, I pulled something and got a TERRIBLE kink in my neck, which felt absolutely debilitating! It hurt so bad....but I took quite a few pills to help ease the ache and headed out the door anyway.
I am so glad I didn't miss it because WE HAD A BLAST!!!!!! We laughed until we almost cried, and most of the time they were laughing at me b/c of my ridiculous neck injury and trying to craft.....
Our craft that we made was primitive sugar pantry cakes. I made another version of some pantry cakes before, but Teresa had a very quick and easy recipe that had molded pantry cakes ready in approx. 20 minutes....but be warned, your hand may get a little cramped from stirring! ;)
Here we are all chatting away, while one would slave over the stove......



Some of our molds getting filled up.....


And here are some of my finished sugar pantry cakes. Not sure where the picture is that I took of them all, but I have a whole bunch of little cakes, and some are made from the small heart molds, and tiny tartlet molds....they all got sooo good and grungy! And they smell FANTASTIC! Can't wait to wrap some cloth around them and set them out!



After we did some crafting, it was time for lunch. And Patti served up this most wonderful tuna in shells salad.




It was sooo yummy!



Patti also treated us with some terrific desserts, but I forgot to take a picture of those. :) And check out what Michelle made each one of us....isn't she so cute! Thanks again Michelle!



Here are some snapshots of Patti's beautiful flowers around the shop.




So, that was my very special lunch and craft date with some very special ladies yesterday! Can't wait till the next one! ;)
