Hey Paul's Stitch Picnic

"Mom, I wanna learn how tah stitch!"

"Mama, can I stitch with you? I want to have my own hoop."

Two phrases I hear a lot. I had been planning to get a few plastic needles for the girls & teaching them a simple stitch or two. So when Kristen of Hey Paul Studios announced a Stitch Picnic at Loose Park, I was really excited to take the girls & share this with them. 

Several of us got together near the Rose Garden to work on projects & simply enjoy each other's company. The day was beautiful & we had a great time.

What a fun day to spend with others learning new things & seeing what others create. Throw in a near mauling by a squirrel, & you've got yourself a fantastic afternoon! The girls loved sitting in a really awesome tree & just stitching. They even asked to "knit" on the way home in the car. 

Thanks, Kristen, for a great day! Be sure to follow Hey Paul Studios for info on fun stitching events in KC. And check out Handmade in KC for a great group of local makers.
