Well, my plan was to have a calm, crafty weekend, but it turned out I had a social life instead. A fundraiser on Friday night for an organisation I helped begin. Cool t-shirts were being sold for charity, I bought a bright red one which says Debt: Drop it like its hot. Get your own! Then on Saturday night friends and I went to Sounds Of Brazil to celebrate a birthday and dance the night away (see above). The birthday girl got this Amy Karol-designed clutch and a coordinated headband as a gift:
The closest I got to crating was showing a friend the basics of sewing on Saturday morning. She was inspired to buy a machine, after hearing about my Brother purchase a few weeks ago, and now she is plunging into the joys. She made an Amy Karol clutch too, and loved doing it. Despite the slightly "blind leading the blind" nature of our little lesson, I think my evangelizing has worked, and another soul has been converted. 
This friend travels for work, and has a really amazing collection of fabric to show for it. The outside of this clutch, that you can just see, is traditional indigo cotton from Shanghai with butterflies on it. Inside is a cheerful print (from India I think).
