SANEsters,
Many breads were baked, sliced and eaten. Pumpkin & cran preserves, and a yummo carmelized onion spread were, well, spread. The average calories consumed exceeded the adult daily requirement of carbs, I'm pretty sure. And not a klinker in the bunch. Perhaps we have been throwing our lives away with rubber stamps and graphic arts; we maybe shoulda been a baking cooperative. SANE Pain. Dough Nutz. Baker's Cousins. Staph of Life. The Carb Connection. I dunno, maybe just a pushcart in Faneuil Hall.
The sum total of Six-Word stories that we put together in the half-dozen moments when we weren't stuffing our faces are included here. Be sure to print these and frame them in gilt, by golly.
We did set a next meeting date: Tuesday, Nov 22, 2013. 7:00pm. Probably at Pam A's, and she'll obtain the paper clay. Bring rubber stamps & inks, and other paper clay-ey tools/supplies. More info as we get it.
Go Red Smocks!

SANE Meeting Tuesday, 22 October 2013
Just a note to alert all to an upcoming meeting. Thought I was unable to attend the last meeting, I was gratified to read summaries of the last meeting by cub reporters Milly van News and Bitsy Wordsmith, and both report that the 22 October meeting is slated to be a bread-off, inspired by the bread mastery of Mapela.
In addition to bringing bread (along with the add-on of your choice?) is a project planned? Not that I'm opposed to slicing/tearing, buttering, jamming and stuffing my face, perhaps there is something else we can do while somebody else has their hands on the loaf you have designs on.

I appear to have lost a summer. If anyone finds one, please let me know, and I'll come pick it up.
Going through previous project suggestions, here are a few that stick out:
Resin cupcake paperweights: http://www.designsponge.com/2013/05/every-day-diy-mini-resin-paperweights.html#more-174525
Turn a book into sculpture by folding: http://www.clothpaperscissors.com/blogs/clothpaperscissorstoday/archive/2013/08/28/altered-books-ideas-for-your-next-party.aspx
Other project ideas, or wanna bring up one I've sadly neglected? Lemme know!
Or write to tell me whatchoo wanna doo. Doo wah, doo wah, a doo-doo wappadoo.

SANE GloucesterLobsterClamsterFester 2013
SANEsters,
Betsey is chafing at the bit to have what she quaintly refers to as LobsterFest, and offers two Saturday dates: July 27 and Aug 3. I'm polling the membership to see who can make which date, so we can maximize the attendance. There is a slight pref for Aug 3, though either should do nicely.
It would be great if we can make this year's event as easy as possible for our host, who is determined for this event to happen. Not sure exactly what "easy as possible" means, specifically, and if you have some suggestions, that'd be great, and I'll pass 'em along. If you have any reservations or concerns, I invite you to take them up with Ms. B.
But we're asking for the usual info (please send to me, and I'll compile 'em for Betsey):
1) The date(s) you and your party can make it (and a preference, if you have one)
2) How many in your party
3) How many lobsters your party would like to consume
4) What food item you'd like to bring
5) Suggested appeasements to the weather gods
Looking forward to a successful event,
Richard
