Mod Podge Rocks

Mod Podge Crafts and DIY

What I Did this Weekend and Father’s Day is Coming

by

Recently I went to a very fun sewing workshop at Whipstitch here in Atlanta. You see, I heard that Dana from Made was coming and I had to meet her! Dana is primarily a seamstress, but she does Mod Podge every now and again. Since I’ve been sewing for a long time (although it’s taken a backseat to decoupage), I thought it would be fun to participate in a Saturday workshop, and it was. We had a blast! I also met some other awesome bloggers. Please visit my new-found friends. They rock!

    As a teacher, summer is a BIG DEAL to me. I’m especially looking forward to trips to the Dallas Museum of Art and the Southwest School of Art and Craft, but also to having time to putter and piddle and maybe even finish some projects.

    I confess that summer is not one of my favorite seasons, especially when it’s a real hot one! But I am looking forward to the fruit and produce I will be getting from joining a CSA!

  7. RootsAndWingsCo says

    What a delight to find our project on your amazing site! Thanks for linking up!

    I LOVE summer! I just love anytime my kids are home all day with me. I feel like I never get enough of them! We are going to Yellowstone. For us that is 2 days of driving each way. whew! But we’re making the drive part of the fun. Plus, halfway we’ll get to visit my Grandmother (who is my absolute favorite person in the world! She’s the ideal Grandma and I’m so thankful my kids have gotten to know her!). Should all be a TON of fun! Hope yours is a good one. Looks like you’ve started your summer off with a bang!

    Looks like you had a terrific weekend! I’m looking forward to one thing this summer – my wedding! And I’m gonna Mod Podge the heck out of a cupcake stand for said wedding. 🙂

  10. janimal says

    Oh man, I really wanted to attend the workshop with Dana this weekend but already had other commitments. Bummer! Next time…..
    I am looking forward to more weekends at the pool!

  13. SewLindAnn says

    I went to Whip Stitch for the first time last week. Cute place! I unfortunately HAD to play tennis that weekend because of a shortage and couldn’t schedule to attend the workshop. So wish I could have. Anyway, love to be in the giveaway.

  16. Corie says

    This summer I’m looking forward to the birth of my first child and learning how to be a mom 🙂

  17. Beth says

    I love that card, so cute! I am looking forward to the nice weather and the late sunsets. I also LOVE taking my son to the spray parks!

  18. :::b r a n d i::: says

    I’m looking forward to my Mom and little brother moving closer to us!@

  19. ellie g says

    Man, I’m not looking forward to anything as fun as hanging out with Dana. I adore her blog. I sort of think she’s a rock star! Jealous! I guess I’ll just have to make my own fun out here in the West.

  20. Adrienne says

    I am embarrassed to admit that I cooked french toast and eggs yesterday for Father’s Day and it took me ALL DAY to realize that it wasn’t Father’s Day.

    Do you ever thinks MOMS get two days? No.

    MY husband will, though. UNFAIR!

  21. Leah the Orange says

    LOVE the photos – looks like you had a lot of fun, Amy!

    that hands project is absolutely ADORABLE!

    this summer, i’m looking forward to my Boys (hubbin and son) being off at the end of this week, and getting to enjoy some road trippin’ before i find myself a new job. not happy to be unemployed, but very excited to be able to ENJOY some summer days, at least for the next couple of weeks! 🙂

    (oh, and i’m looking forward to craftin’, as there’s a craft fair coming up, where i hope to sell my wares and maybe get a little bit of income!)

  23. Heidi V says

    I am looking forward to lots of hot, wet (pool/sprinklers/hose/water table) summer days with my boys:)

  24. jengd says

    I really don’t want the summer to fly by but a friend and I are going to our first CKC at the end of July and I can’t WAIT!!

  26. Jenny says

    Hi Amy! It was great to meet you this weekend! Thanks again for the bobbin! I would love to win this giveaway… I have never used mod podge and I am intrigued!

    I’ll be following your blog- come on over to the Southern Institute and say hello!

  27. Marilyn623 says

    Wow…that sounds like a workshop I would have loved!

    My big plans for the summer include organizing and purging clutter, and traveling to Scotland to visit my daughter!

    Gotta love the Mod Podge!

  31. Raye Marie says

    This summer I would love to get organized and catch up on some of the great crafts I have been wanting to try. Also, I hope to spend tons of time with my kids saoking in the sun. Thanks for the giveaway!

  32. cheekymonkey says

    I hope I win :] I loooove mod podge!

    This summer, I’m hoping to do tons and tons of crafts and sewing. I’ve just uncovered the wonderful world of craftsy blogs, and I’m completely enamored with everything I see!

    Thanks for your amazing blog!

  35. Kelly says

    I just discovered this blog and I am VERY happy I did. I have a bit of a love affair with Mod Podge!…for the summer hubby and I am planning and preparing for our first baby due Sept. 1st.

  37. Candace says

    I’m looking forward to family trips and pool days. I’m a teacher, so every day of my summer if cherished time with my sweet baby girl.

  39. Bluebonnets says

    Help me please! The three short people that live in my home are holding me hostage. They’ve taken control of the Mod Podge, the scrapping table, and the craft closet. This summer, we were planning to clean all of the floors in the house with toothbrushes. And every week we were going to mow the lawn – by hand, with scissors. Apparently the short trio has a better plan. I can hear them talking about scrapbooking and altered art projects. OH NO, one of them said we’re out of Mod Podge! They’re coming for me and my purse. SHHHH, don’t let them hear you – just save me from a summer without Mod Podge! aaaauuuuuuggghhhhhh!!!!

  40. Mandy says

    It’s winter here in Aussie but I will be looking forward to summer really soon! I will be out there in the garden growing more vegies – you gotta love homegrown vegies!

  41. cmjhawaii says

    We don’t have anything really fun planned, no trips or anything. I do have lots on my crafts to-do list. And we’re planning a two night stay in Waikiki just to get away from home and because we’re not taking a real trip anywhere.

    As I just received the news that my cancer is officially in remission, I’m looking forward to a summer where I’m NOT getting poked and jabbed with needles!! OTOH, I’m looking forward to getting back to making some more jewelry for a craft fair in August, playing with our new puppy (squeeee!!), and cooking like crazy! Our daughter just turned 20, and we’re having a cookout Friday night for 30 people. I love it!!!

    SO glad to meet you in person and have you in the shop!! I looved this whole event, and am really thrilled that you were part of it. Someday you and I will own machines that will tolerate elastic thread, and then we can be as super cool as the other kids in class. Until then–am searching for the perfect victim to decoupage in vintage pattern tissue…

  65. Zazzu says

    For me, summer means Las Vegas. It’s too hot for everyone but me and the hubs and we LOVE getting the place (mostly) to ourselves.

    This summer I’m just simply looking forward to the heat. The heat took its sweet time getting here this year. It was a long cold, windy and rainy Fall, Winter and Spring. So I’m ready to enjoy the heat. I look forward to the warm summer nights that’s my all time favorite part of the summer!

  94. Kimberly N says

    I just recently (and finally) tried Modge Podge for a Mother’s Day craft I did for my MIL and love this stuff!

    This summer I am really looking forward to spending time with my kids. My youngest started her first year of preschoo this year and my oldest started kindergarten, so I really did miss them while they were at school. We are doing a camp at home and I’ve been planning all kinds of cool outings, crafts and other fun stuff!
