Hi Girls! Wow - I'm so excited that so many of you joined us in the "Word Up" challenge - and I really do think that this could be life changing for all of us! Here are all of the words that were chosen:
Love them all! So, I thought it would be fun to have a little
for us to celebrate! And, our Charming Friend, Kris of Dandelion Quilts offered to co-host with me (Thank You Kris)!
Party Details
Who: All "Word Up Girls" (It's not too late to choose a Word if you'd like).
When: Saturday, January 29 (Kris & I will be there from 1 to 5 p.m CST - maybe longer -feel free to come early or stay late)
Where: Here (Charming Chatter). We'll be using Mr. Linky to stay in touch.
Bring: A sewing project that will be a reminder of you "Word" for the year and snacks.
You can make anything - a sign, a mini quilt, a pincushion or even work on a big quilt. It can have your word on it - but it doesn't have to include your word. It should be something that will remind you of your word and what you're trying to cultivate in your life this year! Oh, and snacks - can't have a sewing party without snacks!
Looking forward to an afternoon of stitching with you all - and in honor of being a MUF's girl - I think I'll start another new project (smile)!
So, if you're free, mark your calendars - get a project together and join us for the fun next Saturday!
TTFN,
Kelly
P.S. If you I missed your word, please let me know - and I'll get it added to the list!
Oh, this does sound like fun - count me in.

This sounds like a lot of fun :) I didn't pick a word, and I can't participate that day, but I'm sure all who do will enjoy it! Have fun!!

What fun! What fun! I'm in!
Posted by: Carol | January 22, 2011 at 03:22 PM
I am so in...guess I better be since I wanted to cohost, right? LOL. Oh, and my word is going to soon be posted on my blog.

Sounds like fun. I'll be able to sew along everyone because my husband will be a class all day so it will work out well. I'm going to be thinking of my project between now and sewing party day.
Posted by: Carol Lewis | January 22, 2011 at 04:26 PM
Oh this should be fun!! Can wait.
Posted by: Shannon | January 22, 2011 at 04:40 PM
My word was Achieve!
Posted by: Yvonne Benson | January 22, 2011 at 04:49 PM
Great idea. Off to think about a project that will remind me of my word.
Posted by: Brenda | January 22, 2011 at 04:49 PM
Sounds 'fun'! (my word, LOL) I'll be here! :-)

Wow Kelly, I'm all over this. I think I'll try to make up a little stitchery to work on. My MUF's are quite perfect for working on yet so a new project is in order, LOL. I'm going for my sketching case as soon as I finish this comment. SEW much fun and just in time. We should be almost back to normal and my DH just told me to mark it on my calendar as an appointment (woo hoo) Sewing room, here I come! Thanks for a super idea. I can't wait to see what everyone does with their words. See you there, "Good Lord Willing and the Creek Don't Rise"...Hugs...

What a great way to round out the 1st month of the year. I'm working on all my stitcheries the last week, so by then I will be ready for a new small project.
Posted by: Sharon Vrooman | January 22, 2011 at 06:43 PM
Well I'll be busy... Sewing... and PARTICIPATING!! (yeah. That's my word!) lol!
Posted by: Sandy | January 22, 2011 at 07:21 PM
Kelly this sounds so fun, I've been wanting to make a little quilt with my word on it - I hope I can remember to join you, lol!
Posted by: Allie | January 22, 2011 at 07:40 PM
I'm still blogless...but the word I choose is "healing." Thanks for doing this!
Posted by: Cathy Burk | January 22, 2011 at 08:17 PM
Love this!!!! Count me in. I have a quilting dinner the night of the 29...but I'm reserving the rest of the day for a project inspired by my word! Great idea!!!!
Posted by: Cheryl | January 22, 2011 at 09:56 PM
This is a great idea.Would love to join you! My word for this year is "listen". More at the party!Thanks so much!

Count me in!
Posted by: Mary Flynn | January 23, 2011 at 06:17 AM
Great! Thanks!
Count me in: FRIENDSHIP is my word:-)
Posted by: Grethe | January 23, 2011 at 09:08 AM
Count me in! I have chosen order as my word, as it reflects what is most needed for me in every aspect of my life!
Posted by: Michelle M | January 23, 2011 at 09:21 AM
I didn't see patience. Thanks
Posted by: Heidi Ross | January 23, 2011 at 12:49 PM
Hope that hubby can find something to do. This sounds like something that I need. I have several words -- peace, patience, hope, faith, they are all good.
Have a great day.
Posted by: Miss Nancy | January 23, 2011 at 12:59 PM
My word is "enjoy". I often lose sight of the enjoyment phase of working on projects because I'm so focused on completing the goal so I can move on to something else. It's often "I should" get this project finished rather than "I want" to finish this project. Can anyone relate?
Posted by: Sandra | January 23, 2011 at 04:56 PM
Count me in, girl!! Woo hoo!!
Posted by: Polly | January 23, 2011 at 05:45 PM
I'm in Kelly. This will be fun.
Posted by: Linda in Calif. | January 25, 2011 at 12:49 PM
I'm in too! I'd already been thinking about doing a mini quilt reflecting my word so this will be a great way to get it going.
Posted by: Esther | January 26, 2011 at 12:27 PM
Sounds like FUN...I hope I can make it! I just love the parties you throw!!!
Posted by: Michelle | January 26, 2011 at 01:15 PM
Count me in...Looking forward to it...I am due for a party! Not sure what I will make but that is the fun part..deciding... I hope this will post.. I am having a hard time lately to post on your blog. It does not recognize my link .. I have to type it in everytime...

Posted by: Joan | January 27, 2011 at 10:44 AM
Count me in too, our sewing parties are always a blast! :-) I gotta go figure out what I'm going to be working on now....
Posted by: Lisa | January 27, 2011 at 08:38 PM
We've had lots of snow this week, so I have been staying inside ironing and cutting so I can remain "Calm" for the sew in on Saturday.
Posted by: KatieQ | January 28, 2011 at 08:07 AM
Sorry I can't join in tomorrow- I have to work...but I'll be thinking of you. Enjoy every MOMENT!
