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?

You guessed it! More coasters.  One side is fabric and the other is Chalk Cloth!

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!

Sweet DIY

Our last event for May, the Sweet DIY, is going to be absolutely SMASHING!  Essentially, it is a do-it-yourself class where you'll take home a finished product at the end of the night.  As a perk, there will be champagne and cupcakes from Sweetspot.

During the class, you will learn about a special fabric that is both whimsical and practical.  We will employ said fabric to create a table setting component that is ideal for summertime entertaining.

Tickets to the event are $10 and supplies are $5.  So, for $15 you get an evening of enjoyment, delectable treats, and a finished product.  Event goes from 7pm-8:30pm and will take place at The Fabulous Fabric Shop on Churn Creek.  Oh, I forgot to mention that you also get the know-how for when you're feeling crafty later.

And, for the record, there are no rules when it comes to DIY!

 

Handmade Shopping

This Thursday night will be SO fabulous!  Though I adore champagne and cupcakes, I'm especially excited about the handmade designers that will setting up shop that evening.  Which item is your favorite?

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!

Yea! We sold out the 2nd session of the Pedi Party already. But, you can still get the 1st session for the time being.

How will the Craft Buffet work?

Thinking of attending this Thursday's Craft Buffet but just not sure you get it?  Here's how its gonna work.

You are going to attend the event with a bunch of stuff you don't want (all of which is creative or artsy or crafty in nature). Before letting go of your stuff, you'll have your items tallied as to how many credits you get. Big items, 2 credits. Small items, one credit. Then, we'll chat and have a bit to eat. When that's done and after we've all sort of had time to peruse the pile a bit, we'll take turns picking an item. Once everyone has chosen, we'll give the opportunity to trade among each other if you see something better in someone else's hands. They can accept your offer or politely decline.

Bring as many or as few items as you want. That will determine how many credits you get. It is an opportunity to get rid of stuff that has been gathering dust. But, no one pays for stuff during the event. The price of the ticket gets you in for the event, light dinner faire, and something lovely to drink.

Think of it as some creative entertainment, the possibility of new inspiration (maybe grab stuff from a medium you've always wanted to try), and good conversation.

Tickets must be purchased in advance.  Thanks for being considerate!  Still need tickets? Stop by Sweetspot, The Fabulous Fabric Shop, or buy online below.

We all love a good sale

Stop by Sweetspot tomorrow (Saturday, May 8) any time and score an amazing deal on event tickets.  I believe you'll be able to get them as a "Buy one, get one half off" deal." 

See you then!

Lactose Free Milk

So I just realized that the Facebook "Like" box on the sidebar to the right does not feed over to Oh!Carousel's fan page.  Instead, it feeds over to the fan page for Lactose Free Milk.  Needless to say, I went ahead and removed the link until I can figure out what the problem is.  In the meantime, enjoy supporting lactose intolerance!
