BE CRAFTY at UNGLUED, Fargo, ND

We were so excited when UNGLUED asked us to come and teach a BE CRAFTY workshop during their GRAND OPENING of their handmade UNGLUED shop!! A big CONGRATS to them!! It was so fun to seeing so many people coming in and out of the store!!

Throughout the afternoon, everyone enjoyed creating 3 different crafts. A bunting banner, a decorated notebook and some cabochon accessories. How fun it was to see all the different skill levels creating something to give or take home. We even had a few who had hardly even sewn before, and left  inspired to buy their first sewing machine.

Thanks again UNGLUED for having us!!! We had such a great time and excited to come back December 1st for a Holiday BE CRAFTY workshop!!

Announcing GIVE CRAFTY 2012!!!

Hello sweet friends!!!  After a crazy fun & busy summer, we are back in action and hatching new ideas for our next big workshop.  I know it is crazy to think about crafting handmade holiday gifts--I have barely come to terms with all the yellow school buses around this week. But we have had tons of girls asking when our next get-together would be, so we wanted to get the word out early: 

{ NOVEMBER 17th...SAVE THE DATE! }

This year we are even hosting the workshop before Thanksgiving: 1) so you will have time to take our ideas and run with them if you want to make more gifts at home. And 2) so it won't compete with your (already) jam-packed December.
