Cat Crafts

For this story I need you to know that my mom has been really into taking classes at her library for like the last year. And she's been harping on me to also take a library class. 

The thing is that these classes fill up very quickly and often have waitlists. 

So she started scoping out the classes offered here. That's actually how Husband came to take a rain barrel class this summer. Anyway, she very much wanted me to take a class so I let her sign me up for a String Art class that took place last night. 

I got there early. So early in fact that early voting was still going on and I wasn't anticipating that to be the case so I voted and now can check the box on that. I am delighted because the county moved my polling place to a venue that creeps me out and I didn't want to go there. ANYWAY, you should vote or make a plan to. 

So String Art. I got there and then immediately began texting my mom. The cat was different. Some people were mad. I liked the cat face better to be honest. 

TLDR: Everyone in the room had been to a million of these classes before and were shocked I got a spot because it fills up within minutes. (But my mom knows this from her own classes and that's why friends. Because I didn't register myself.) 

There were people just completely going to town on their cats while I waited for instructions which barely came because they all knew each other and exactly what to do. It was the weirdest and craziest evening of my life I kid you not. 

Admittedly, the actual crafting experience was fun. Not terribly difficult but I would love to make another now that I know what I am doing since I think I could improve my technique. 

Here are some of the other ladies' cats I was taking sneaky pictures of. 

This one was Sue's. She was the first one done so people were passing her's around as an example. I was happy when it was in front of me, it was helpful. 

And while I was at the class, all the ladies had their phones out to register for a class that went live at 6:30. I said something to my mom and it was weirdly a class she had already told us about because she thought Husband would like it. (That art major of his you know.) So... she got right on and snagged the class. 😂😂

Some women in the string art classroom got waitlisted and there I was with a ringer. And one lady was selling me on the classes offered at other libraries. So I somehow got signed up for a Holiday card class too. 

To be honest, I might end up canceling and letting some of the waitlist people go but who knows? They're free! 

So I gave it a whirl. The ladies were intense and it was a little crazy. But... I did get a free string art cat out of the deal so worth it? And I voted. Pretty successful night I suppose.
