Photographs taken by James, who was a helpful host last night.  🙂  

See Coffee, Crafts and Conversation from August here.  We’re going to try to make it a monthly thing 🙂

It was too warm again for coffee, but some ladies humored me by drinking some anyways.  A few friends that came last time couldn’t come this time, but a few friends that couldn’t come before were able to.  We missed the rest of you!  

My friend Sarah told me last time that I am a gatherer.  Someone who likes to bring people together and make them feel loved and at home.  I guess it must be true.  And James is the same way.  We love having people over–we love the company of others.  The bonding.  The joking.  The youcanonlywear elasticpantsbecausebygolly, thisisaPAJAMAcraftnight-ing.  We love it when people don’t ask if they can have a drink . . . they just go into the cupboard, grab a glass and pour themselves anything that we have in the refrigerator.  Not that I don’t want to serve them–I just want them to feel at home here.  And I hope that they can all say that they do 🙂
