Would you want to go to this?

[Bernadine]

A new friend of mine just sent out a fb invite for a craft day at her house. Ugh.

We're supposed to bring whatever craft we want to do- like, from pinterest, or something. And kids are welcome.

I hate crafts. I'm not great with kids. But I feel like I should go, because it's a newer group of friends, and I'd like to keep getting to know everyone better.

[partiallysunny]

Hell yeah. Right up my alley.

If you don't want to go, don't. Suggest something else to do with this group of friends next week or the week after.

[jerseygrl]

That sounds like torture - but I am not crafty

[pittsmcgee]

That sounds boring. Unless there's free alcohol.
I might just go to get out of the house and spend time with people, though

[snipsnsnails]

Yes! I have pinterest parties at my house! But they're at night and I have wine and desserts and there are no kiddos, so that might make the difference?

[laptopvixen]

I'd probably go.

[Deleted]

NO.

unless there was alcohol and good food. in which case, HELL YEAH. and i'd bring a totally wackado out there craft. like, making bloody skulls out of apples or something. just as a silent protest/joining the fun.

[amberlyrose]

Can you craft mimosas?

[dcannie]

maybe you can bring a bottle of wine to drink and say you're collecting corks for a future project?

[hubes]

Does craft beer count?

[iamgrace]

Maybe?

[emsumm]

I think it sounds fun, but without kids. It's impossible to do anything with kids around.

No. Because I do not craft.

If you are trying to get to know them better, see if maybe any of them are doing something you might want to learn about, and then bring some wine :-)

Why can't you get together and play drinking games instead?

Waterfall? President/Asshole? Beer pong? A beer olympics if you will.

[peachykate]

No, this sounds like a special sort of hell.

[livinitup]

Yes and I don't craft. I'd be social and hold things for the people who were really crafting.

In general I'd most likely say no, but if I knew it was a fun group of people, then sure why not. But I'd bring some totally inappropriate/ironic/hysterical craft, just because I would hate being in a room of people who took this kind of thing too seriously.

ETA: I just saw cville's response. Looks like we're on the same page.

high five!


also, i skimmed the part about kids being there.

as a person with kids, i'd probably still go if there was alcohol. before i had kids? NOT EVEN IF WE WERE DOING BODY SHOTS OFF OF CHIPPENDALE DANCERS.

[fuckstick]

God no. I only start crafts so that I can quit them. I'm good at quitting things.

[laptopvixen]

But you need to get good with kids!!!

[Deleted]

I would go. But I would leave DS at home.

Maybe not! I'm decidedly undecided on kids now, lol.

[mrsbro]

I love crafting and have 2 kids.

That being said, I would want more alcohol and less kids at this type of event. :heart: :drink: = ;D :Y: (*)

[melindafelinda]

I like crafts. But I don't like kids. I would be very torn.

Interesting!

[mrssavy42112]

I would want to, but I know that there is no way I'd have the time.

[eddy]

Can I drink?

I will do about anything if booze is involved. If not I am OUT.

[lightbulbsun]

It sounds fun to me, but I love crafts. I feel like it would be more hanging out and chatting than actually doing the crafts, though.

ETA: I missed the part about there being kids. In that case I might not go.

[karmasabiotch]

I can't do arts and crafts if my life depended on it. I would go because most likely they will sit around and chat. I would bring a coloring book and crayons or something to show that you have a great sense of humor.

I might not be as funny as I think I am so that could be a really bad idea.

[crazycakes]

If I wanted to hang out with the people, yes. I would probably bring stuff to scrapbook as I constantly start scrapbooks but get bored working on them by myself. I would also bring booze. And probably leave my [hypothetical] own kid at home.

[Tacocat]

With wine/liquor and snacks yes. With kids NO.
