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!

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!
