June DIY was a blast!

Thank you to everyone that made it out to this month's Sweet DIY Craft Party.  As you can see, we had a blast designing our own headbands and hair snappers.  Everyone did such a fantastic job working from the supplies provided and creating something uniquely theirs.  Well done, ladies!

As always, the food is fantastic!  Thanks, Sweetspot!

Another sample headband perfect for girls that want to twinkle!

The first stop as our guests came in - the supply table

Most of us decided to hand stitch our flowers to snappers.

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

Oh boy, oh boy!  The Craft Buffet is coming your way! 

Sweetspot, The Fabulous Fabric Shop, and ReddingHandmade have teamed up yet again for the first ever Craft Buffet! On Thursday, May 13th, you and all your crafty pals can trade in old craft supplies and get something new (at least to you!). And not only will we be hosting the swap, but we'll also be serving up some light dinner faire.

What sort of items are game for trading? How about anything that you can make a handmade project out of. Buttons, fabric, vintage findings, beads, paper, tools. If you can create something out of it, it is worthy of being offered up at the Craft Buffet!

There's only one rule of thumb to partake of the Craft Buffet: please judge your stuff in accordance with the types and quality of things you'd like to take home yourself. Because, what goes around, comes around.

Your ticket price will include drinks, light dinner faire, a chance to recycle unwanted craft supplies, and an overall festive night out. Mark your calendar for the 4th Thursday of the month as this is a reoccurring event.

Admission of $10 must be prepaid via Paypal prior to event as we need to know how much food to provide. Payment due date is May 10th, but spaces are very limited...

Buy tickets now! Quantities are limited!
