Last Week's Meeting
|
At last week's meeting we got together to do some beading and crafts. A couple people started some leather and beading projects and others made jewelry. We were able to get some porcupine quills and use those in making some of the crafts as well. It was a great meeting and we hope to have another beading and craft night soon!
