So yesterday I went through what was awesome about Alt Summit. Today I will talk about my favorite part of the whole trip – the WAY MORE AWESOME part, the part that was not Alt Summit.
Where we got to relax and unwind and just be our silly selves with our sewing silly buds!!!
A small group of friends organized a lunch where we could get together, meet up, and laugh. And I was blessed to be able to be a part of it. And let me just tell you, these ladies are the awesomest. I love them all!
|
| Miriam from MadMim, Emily from Replicate then Deviate |
|
| Amy from This Heart of Mine, Amy from Naptime Crafters |
|
| Tori of Sassy Steals, Delia of Delia Creates |
|
| Miriam, Sachiko of Tea Rose Home, Miranda of One Little Minute |
And we even got to help Miranda celebrate a 30th Birthday!!!
I love them all, and this was by far the highlight of my trip! Anything where I can just relax, unwind, and truly be myself around people that I know love me for who I am. Where I am not worried about handing out my business card – ha!
It doesn’t get better than that! I just wish more of you could be there!!!
My dream? A day when all of us crafty divas live in some pre-fab sewing / crafty community together and Martha is the president of the association. HA! Love you guys!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and until next time…
Happy Sewing!
Looks like a blast! It’s so true how much nicer and relaxing it is to be past the business card handing out stage and just hang out
We missed you Marissa!!! Going to this lunch was like breathing deep again
oh how fun and exciting! that would be more my speed too.
This one is just like hanging with friends – definitely my favorite part
that looks like so much fun – what a great group!!
Mandy – I am still bummed I am not going to SNAP! to meet you!!! One of these days….
It WAS SO FUN. I never wanted it to end and in fact it went by too fast! I loved meeting you!
I loved meeting you too Delia! Was so much fun! You are just as beautiful in person as you are on the blog! Such a treat
I agree with Delia, it was so fun…we didn’t want it to end either, which is probably why we were all still standing around in the lobby after everyone left!

i so wish that i had gone. maybe next time. it is a lot of fun when you connect with others –and not worrying about your business is part of the connection. glad you found them!
It always amazes me what a small world it is, and The amazing connections I feel like I have made it through blogging
. Great friends through the Internet – amazing!!!
So fun! We need more hanging out time.
I agree 100% Emily! So glad you could make it!!!
When I think about the whole trip, thinking about this lunch makes me smile the biggest. I felt so at home, I don’t think anyone would guess that most of us had never met before!! There’s something to be said for being around our people!!
I agree 100% Stef! This was the totally laid back part where friends just got together and chilled. Definitely my favorite
. There definitely needs to be more meet ups like this!
