Random Happenings

This post is just a hodge-podge of stuff I've done over the past couple of months, but never got around to blogging about.  I'm trying to catch-up here, folks and have a lot of pictures to get out here on the WWW.

Etsy craft night.  Mindy and I grabbed dinner at Five Guys (Burgers & Fries!) and then went over to Southstreet Seaport for an evening of nautical crafting.  We did an embroidery project and Etsy provided all the supplies.  I had no idea, but embroidery takes forever!!  I didn't get very far that night and swore I would finish it at home, but I still have not picked it back up.  Maybe on some cold winter night I will get back to it.

They even gave us a gift bag (and we didn't pay a penny

for ANYthing).  So nice!  Yarn, fabrics, thread, buttons!

I hope to do more Etsy craft nights.  We had fun

crafting away and really enjoyed chatting with the

other 3 ladies sitting at our table.

Lucy's & Jessica had a rooftop party.  I met

Stacy, Mindy, and Hillery for dinner at Dogmatic

beforehand for some yummy sausages.

Party, complete with DJ

Sorry for the blur!  Hillery, Angela, me and Amanda!

I met Rosella and Kianti for lunch at the Boat Basin one lovely Saturday.  Thankfully, the weather stayed lovely the whole time we were there...unlike last time when I went with Jessica and a random and sudden storm blew in!

Subway tour w/ Robyn.  Robyn moved away :(  After 10-years in NYC, she still had things to mark off her list of to-do's!  She really wanted to take a tour of the oldest subway tunnel in the WORLD, so I joined in.  It's located in Brooklyn and hasn't been used for many years now.  To get to it, you have to climb down a man-hole in the middle of a very busy street.  That was probably the most exciting part!!

Down goes Robyn!



Down goes Susan!

We had to make our way through

this little narrow section

Then crawl through this little hole

Then down a bunch of stairs

And finally into the main part of the tunnel,

along with a ton of other people

Self-portraits are bad.

On our way back out!



I had my old Community Group over for brunch one last time.  I made goat cheese scrambled eggs, butter horns, a spinach/strawberry salad, and a fruit salad.  Yumm-o!

Hillery, Erin W., Robyn, Kim, myself, Jen!

Mallorie and Erin G. couldn't make it :(

We'll stop there for now, but there's still lots more to come!  Stay tuned, friends!
