Spa Party this Thursday!

Our Spa party is this Thursday night! We are excited for a night of pampering and relaxation! Come enjoy an express pedicure and learn how to make your own lavender lemon sugar scrub. We made up a sample for the craft party at Sweetspot last Friday and it smells like a little piece of paradise.

Tickets are $20, and we do request that you buy them in advance so that we bring enough goodies for everyone. You can get tickets here on the blog, or in person at The Fabulous Fabric Shop, Sweetspot, or Amazin Nails. We have three sessions to choose from, 5-6, 6-7, and 7-8.

The Fashion Show is fast approaching, and now it is time for all the magical mice and bluebirds to come out and help with all the finishing touches. Oh, if only we all lived in Cinderella Land!

We can not wait to see you, this Friday 7-9pm at the Shasta Center Parking lot, you are sure to be amazed by all of the amazing talent that Redding has to offer.

Artsy Twists

We would like to personally and publicly like to thank Ruben Porras for writing that fabulous story about our event last weekend.  If you haven't read it, check it out now on The Record Searchlight.  We are both honored and flattered to be considered newsworthy in our town.  

See you again soon at another creative & crafty event!

Fabric Into Fashion

Our next event is the Fabric Into Fashion show outside of The Fabulous Fabric Shop on August 6th from 7-9pm.  We'll have, as always, a fun crafty project, a handmade designer boutique, and yummy things to eat and drink for sale.  Admission to the show is free.

And, the best part is that this event is totally family friendly!  The show will include fashion for baby, children's wear, accessories, and adult.  I love the fact that some of the children are actually modeling their own works of art that they made during the shop's sewing class. 

See you then!

So much fun in the summer sun!

Thanks to everyone that made it out on Saturday night for our party!  We had such a fabulous time even though the temp was in the triple digits.  We had lots of handmade designers, a creative little craft project, and the cutest little goodie bags!

If you weren't able to make it, you missed out.  But, we'll have another event soon.  We'll see you next time, right?

Come see what the buzz is about!

Come say Hello! and see what the buzz is all about.

We're sorry to say that the June Spa Party has been rescheduled for late July.  Tickets will be available soon.  Until then, be on the lookout for some other fun things we're doing to round out the rest of this month...

More fun stuff announced soon!

Recap of May Sweet DIY

If you were lucky enough to attend our first DIY Craft Party, you probably had a blast.  We thank everyone who attended and we wholeheartedly appreciate the enthusiasm for that wonderful thing called crafting. 

If you weren't able to attend, its OK.  You can still get tickets for June's session.  We'll be doing fun and frilly headbands this month!  See you then.

How do you beat a warm welcome of treats like this?

Sweet DIY

The Sweet DIY is a Do-It-Yourself Class where you get to learn something, make a project, and then take it home that same day.  This Thursday evening, we are hosting a class at The Fabulous Fabric Shop in Shasta Center complete with champagne punch and delectable desserts from Sweetspot.

The project will be wine charms and coasters made of chalk cloth.  What is chalk cloth, you ask?  It is a material that made to be written on and then erased over and over like a chalk board.

The project is just in time and perfect for summertime entertaining.  In fact, you could even use your newly made stuff this weekend for that Memorial Day barbecue!

The class goes from 7-8:30pm and costs a total of $15.  The class is $10 and then the supplies are $5.  If you have already purchased your ticket but not your supplies, please bring cash the evening of the event.  There are a few seats still available.  Get yours now!

PS: This is an easy project that would be great for moms and daughters or best friends that just need some quality time together!                                               

First Pedi Party

We had such a wonderful, glamorous time at our first Pedi Party last night.  The people were refreshing.  The food was, as always, fantastic.  The shopping was unique.  And our hosts were exceedingly accommodating.  We will SO be doing this again!

The Craft Buffet Recap

Thanks to all that made it out to the Craft Buffet!  It was such a good time.  We had a modest turnout, but you wouldn't know it by looking at ALL the stuff that was laid out on the tables.  There was so much that we couldn't even take it all home with us.  We actually stashed what was left for the next time.

Hopefully, we'll be posting some finished products consisting of Craft Buffet finds.  Be on the lookout for that.  Hey, what do you think?  Maybe we should have a contest.  Yes, let's do that.

Everyone that attended the first Craft Buffet, listen up!  You have a chance to win a ticket to the next Buffet.  All you have to do is submit your best project incorporating materials acquired during the event.  The only guideline is that the finished product must be comprised of at least 50% of traded materials.  We'll post the submissions in 2 weeks.  Then, we will all vote and announce the winner.

How's that for an incentive to follow up making use of your new supplies?  Can't wait to see what you create!
