First Gathering in Oakland


Take 2 in Oakland turned out so lovely! I was worried it was going to be either too hot to enjoy a warm meal or too cold to eat in our lovely garden where we are visited daily by squirrels, butterflies, hummingbirds & of course our resident cats Poppy & Jack.
But it was a purrrfect weather! 70 degrees with a slight breeze and plenty of California sun. 
After lunch we transitioned from our love of food to crafting folk-art inspired stuff animals with love.  

 In partnership with my dear friend Robbyn McGill's organization Animals for Africa, we made a variety of stuffed animals for the KAYDA orphanage in Uganda.
 Crafting with a group of lovely ladies then inspired us to watch How to Make an American Quilt and go down memory lane with the Quilting Bee ladies. Total nerd moment.. but super fun!


They all turned out super cute!


















































































Thank you all for coming and supporting our first event and partnership !
