Whatever Craft Weekend // Yea, I won the lottery, well I didn't per say… Kristi from Barn Owl Primitives did, and she was kind enough to share her winnings! What did we win? A weekend at Meg's Whatever Craft Weekend!!
What is the Whatever Craft Weekend. Several of you have asked over Instagram. Meg from the blog Whatever, has a house, a magical house that she opens up a few weekends throughout the year for a fabulous craft weekend. Her partner in this endeavor is Kimberlee and together these ladies pull off one of the best girls weekends I've ever had. They pampered us (we couldn't even clear our dishes from the table), they made us laugh and most of all they inspired us! This Whatever Craft Weekend has become so popular in some circles that you have to add your name to the waiting list and then all of the participants are selected by a lottery sysytem. People have been on the list for over a year waiting for a spot. That's why I feel like one of the luckiest girls out there!!
When we first arrive at the house you're greeted with a smile and shown your room, and the minutes you walk in you are transported back to when you were a kid and life was just simple and magical…
My roommates for the weekend were…

Mique from 30 Handmade Days and the Queen Bee Market, Kristi from Barn Owl Primitives and Ashley from Little Miss Momma. These girls are amazing and I am truly blessed to be able to call them friends. Once we were settled, threw on our comfy outfits and Kimberlee treated us to her wonderful dinner, we got to work in the studio on our Whatever Craft Weekend Aprons…
These aprons are iconic and so fun to make. Meg has an amazing collection of fabric and goodies to use for all of the projects. Just take a look at one of the supply stations…
I wouldn't say that I have amazing sewing prowess and this project made me feel like a sewing ROCK STAR!! That's the magic of Meg's creation.
If you can sew a straight line you can make this project. It was so fun to see everyone's personalities come out in their fabric selection. Here are all of our aprons…
From left to right, Kristi, Mique, Ashley and mine along with one of Kristi's amazing Barn Owl Primitive signs. Aren't they all so fun!! They weekend is just amazing. Here are some more shots of Meg's house…
Everywhere you turn, you are treated with amazing eye candy. Color, textures and patterns are all over the place. The house is just so happy. The whole weekend truly inspired me in so many ways. For one, I realized I need more color in my life. Like I've said before, I think this year is going to be operation add color to my life. We all need color!!
Tomorrow, I'll share a bit more about our adventures and some of the amazing swag we received.

I saw your photos coming through on IG Heather and wondered what it was. What an amazing time and a beautiful place. Gosh, that'd be every crafters dream to go to a place as beautiful as that. My Aunt goes to a weekly Quilters Group. Its BYO sewing machine (and cake of course). LOL Can't wait for the next instalment.
