What a BLAST! The First Crafting Call was a resounding SUCCESS!!! YAY!! Thanks to all who came…I can’t believe how fast the time went. We threw stuff together so fast, but really, it was just some super nice people showing and telling. It got a little confusing at times, some of us are a little aggressive in the talking department (guilty as charged) The loose structure worked for us, tho. I am sure we will change things from time to time, maybe focus on certain subjects, I just don’t know. All I really know is that I am so very glad this thing of ours is going down!

Sorry, No. I neglected to take pictures. I know!!! Shame on me and THIS is why I am NOT the family photographer! I am a mingler.

Oh, gosh… as much as I want to get out there and name names, forgive me if I screw something up, Jess has the papers…
Leah, Kim, Richelle, Kelly (and new hubby), Priscilla, Kate, Andre, Niki and Nala(?), Becky, Heather, Yasmin Did I forget anyone? I know I may have screwed up a name…if I did forgive me please!

We have so many DIFFERENT things. It is hard to believe how varied our crafts were. This shop will be PHENOMENAL!! You all are FABULOUS! I have to get our site up so I can link everyone together. I hope you get the drift of what we are trying to do and spread the word…

sighhhh…
happy happy

COME ONE! COME ALL! IT’S OUR VERY FIRST CRAFTING CALL!!!

Okay, my friends! It is TIME! It’s time to spread the word and gather together the myriad talented tweeps and other fine people for the very first meet and greet in the life of The HodgePodgery!

Everyone is encouraged to bring along samples, portfolios, and their good humor for this open house style event. Brainstorming is encouraged.

ABC offers good food and good drink if you are so inclined.

We have been focusing on 80% upcycled, recycled, repurposed and vintage materials. Do you find this reasonable? How much of this type material would you feasibly use?

We ALWAYS welcome suggestions and ideas. Please take a few minutes for our survey so we can add you to our contact database. Much appreciated!
