CW looks super cute & very festive!
Have a lovely time!!
Happy CrAfTinG!!
Posted by: Terrie G | January 28, 2012 at 08:18 AM
Beautiful bathroom! Can't wait to see more pictures from your CW. I belong to a craft club. Great friends. We meet once a month (sometimes twice) and craft. We rotate homes and have great snacks. We are hoping to maybe do a weekend one of these months. It would be so much fun.
Wishing you lots of fun ladies!!
Posted by: Penny | January 28, 2012 at 08:42 AM
It's my goal to one day be able to attend Craft Weekend ... enjoy! (BTW, your bath looks fabulous!)
Posted by: Kimberly Dial | January 28, 2012 at 08:44 AM
I want first dibs on your next craft weekend! Looks like a great time : )
Posted by: kribss | January 28, 2012 at 08:44 AM
Love the dining room all set up for craft weekend. i need my living room to look like this all winter :) no one could have the "gray day blues" in a room like that!
and I really like the shower curtain and color scheme in the bathroom. The pattern of the stripes is cheerful and high energy, even though it's not a bright color.
I'm a neutrals-with-pops-of-color gal, and I'll be interested to see how this room gets more Duerksenized over time. I like the neutrality a ton, but I have a hunch some crepe paper rainbow or polka dot towel is gonna creep in there at some point ;)
You've really outdone yourself on this dining room prep. This is just about the most charming thing ever. I totally want to come to a future CW. Last night, though, I gave my sweet baby and bath and rocked her to sleep. No regrets :)
Have a wonderful time!!!!!
Posted by: Jacci | January 28, 2012 at 09:02 AM
I must know. Where or where did you get the shower curtain? You maybe already posted that and I missed it but I can't live without it :)
Posted by: Sarah | January 28, 2012 at 09:07 AM
Oh, my heart is hurting b/c I wish I was there with my friend Kimberly! Aahhh!!!
I so hope you all have an absolute blast this weekend. Everything (including your bathroom) looks fabulous!
Posted by: Sarah H. | January 28, 2012 at 09:19 AM

Your bathroom transformation is fantastic... I've been there so I know how disruptive it can be. Kudos to Craig and your contractor! Have a super great weekend!
Posted by: Susan | January 28, 2012 at 10:06 AM

Posted by: Mandy | January 28, 2012 at 10:24 AM

It's a great day when you post. Have fun and I also would love to know what color you used on the bathroom walls. Cheers!
Posted by: Melinda | January 28, 2012 at 10:35 PM
When you talk about the sponsors, can you tell us about that book? It looks pretty cool!
Posted by: Leah | January 28, 2012 at 11:32 PM
looks amazing! love the strings of lights and bunting. love. I'm sure you're all having a wonderful time :)
Posted by: emily hope | January 29, 2012 at 12:15 AM
Your bathroom looks fantastic. And so does craft weekend. The bunting and the lights are adorable. I would love to go to one but my family would think I was insane flying half way across the country to craft with "strangers". I put strangers in quotes because I feel like I have gotten to know you and Ashley Ann from your blogs. For now I'll just have to look at the pics of all the cool kids having fun and making awesome crafts. I hope you and all the ladies are having a great time!
Posted by: Janine | January 29, 2012 at 03:31 AM
It looks like a dream come true. I hope you and your 11 new friends are having fun and crafting up a storm. Hope to get picked for a craft weekend one of these times.
Posted by: holly | January 29, 2012 at 08:20 AM
Meg, I just rediscovered your blog and was wondering if you are on Pinterest? If so I would love to follow your boards, love your style!
Posted by: Rachel | January 29, 2012 at 08:45 AM
aaah it all looks like TOO much fun!!
Posted by: Kerry | January 29, 2012 at 10:03 AM
Bunting and pretty lights. Looks blooming lovely. I need a higher ceiling!

Statement: Your bathroom is awesome! I LOVE it.
Question: How can we get into one of your Craft Weekends?
Sincerely,
Lora In Medford (it's cold here)
Posted by: Lora | January 29, 2012 at 05:39 PM

Posted by: crystal b | January 29, 2012 at 09:37 PM
Looks like so much fun!!
Hey, I wanted to let you know (and am too tired/lazy to find your rainbow cake post to leave this comment on there) - I have a little rainbow cake trick... I never loved the purple on mine, until I made one yesterday (you can click on my blog if you want to see) and I used PINK and blue (and just a little bit of red) instead of red and blue food coloring and it turned out to be a much prettier, brighter color purple! :)
Posted by: Vera | January 29, 2012 at 10:16 PM
love love your blog. i've been checking back like a crazy person to see if you've posted pictures of craft weekend yet. i can't wait to see what y'all did!!!
Posted by: kelly | January 29, 2012 at 10:52 PM
The bathroom looks great and so does the crafting space all ready to go! Can't wait to see pics of the weekend and what you ladies made. I read your blog and Ashley Ann's so I can't wait to see what you both post this coming week.
Posted by: JulieL | January 30, 2012 at 12:44 AM

Posted by: rachel / cr.e.at.e | January 30, 2012 at 07:19 PM
I am jealous. I would love to spend a few days crafting. I love the new shower curtain by the way.
Posted by: Lin | January 30, 2012 at 08:41 PM
So I know it's super random to say something reminded me of you seeing as how we've never actually met, I just "know" you through your blog, but I saw this on Pinterest and instantly thought of you. Looks like so much fun! http://thecolorrun.com/about/
Posted by: Arielle | January 31, 2012 at 07:02 AM
Love how you set everything up! It is beautiful. Your blog with the colors, fabrics and textures make me so happy to look at. :)
