Madge Ponders a Crafty Cruise.

(Painting by the incomparable Alberto Vargas)

I'm thinking I'd like to host a Craft Cruise. I've been pondering this idea for a while. I'd want crafting, dancing and music, because I'm a vocalist and I think a crafty cabaret with a little karaoke/piano bar action would be a hoot! I have an incredibly talented friend who makes his living entertaining on cruise ships. We used to do theatre together in Atlanta and he's my daughter's godfather. He's always traveling to the most interesting places and he sends her the most thoughtful and fascinating gifts. Although just going on a regular cruise isn't appealing to me, going with some creative fun folks and doing some crafting, dancing, singing and shopping together sounds fabulous!

Several of my crafty friends have hosted cruises and they all seem to have enjoyed them immensely. I think it's time for me to join in the fun!

Those of you who've read The Impatient Blogger for a while now all know that my true goal in life is to make enough money that I can retire to a tropical paradise, lie around in a hammock with an ocean view in some saucy shoes, a huge sun hat and a sarong and drink tasty beverages from pineapples served by cabana boys. So a cruise would be a great way to check out some tropical locales and find the one that suits my goals. Tee hee.

If I did host a cruise, what sorts of events and crafty projects/techniques/focuses would entice you to attend? Where would you most like to go? I'm curious. I'd need 30 people to go along for the fun to make it fly...are there 30 of you who might like to join me? Would you like it if I had another instructor or two to give it some extra bang for the buck? Tell me what you think and I'll start the ball rolling here when I get back from CHA.

Sailing...crafting...over the ocean blue!

I love the necklace! And the cruise sound fab, though I'm not sure my budget would allow me to join you. Good luck with the organizing!
