March Project

Hey ladies~

Just thought I put up a little teaser in case any of you out there happen to check before I remind you to check...

This month we will be making denim pennant banners. You could make a it a Happy Birthday banner, a holiday banner or put one of your kids name on it and hang it in their room. Start thinking about what you might want to do. Joy brought one of these to show you at the January craft night, and had it displayed on the wall. There will be more information to come, but start saving any old denim or fabric scraps.

T-shirt pom poms

A little information...

For anyone who is planning to do the t-shirt pompoms, I thought I'd pass this along. Hodge Podge Thrift store, which is behind the Grand Theaters, has a "rag barrel" full of t-shirts for 10 cents each.

New Project!!!

Plans for February are as follows:

We will be meeting at the church the church at 7pm on Wednesday the 23rd. There are no other activities that night, no scouts, yw/ym or activity days.

Head bands

These can be found here at Paige and Brooke. And lots of other ideas for your viewing pleasure at Little Miss Momma.

For the headbands, you will need to bring fabric and thread for the one pictured above. If you have a sewing machine (although we will have a few on hand) and could bring it to share, please do so. We will provide elastic and interfacing for a $1.00, or $2.00 for interfacing, elastic and fabric. Also, I suppose we will need a few irons for the interfacing. One more note, you can use two different fabrics and make these reversible! So cute!

We will also be making t-shirt pom poms. The tutorial is found at Craftaholics Anonymous.

You will need to bring your own t-shirts, frames, and whatever else you may want to embellish these.

Be sure to check out the links above to see the tutorials and find out exactly what you will need. I will have cardboard for the tshirt poms, but be sure to bring your own scissors!

Please let us know if you can make it and if you would like to do the fabric headbands so we can plan accordingly. We would like collect any money ahead of time so we can purchase the materials. Please make payments by Sunday the 20th. Thanks!

If you just want to come hang out and not craft, or bring your own craft, we'd love your company!

Thanks to everyone for a great craft night! All the blocks and pockets turned out so cute! So glad you all could come!

Special Thanks to Steph and Joy

for all their efforts in getting things ready for the big night!!

Watch for more information on a February Craft Night!

A little more info...

Prices will be as follows:

Blocks:  $3 per set

Pockets:  $1 per pocket

Everything will be provided, except pockets, although there may be enough for everyone, as some people have extras.  Remember, save the rest of your denim for a future project.

We will have paints, paper, little pretties, etc.

If you have a glue gun, you may want to bring it so we are not all sharing one.  If you want to bring a snack to share, well, we all like food.

*~*~*~*~Don't forget, if you just want to come be with the ladies, you don't have to craft!!!

Thanks!

I need a number!!

Ok, ladies, here's the deal:

I can't tell you a cost for the blocks or pockets at this point.  It will depend on how many people want to participate.  So, without knowing the cost, but knowing that it wont expensive (look who's planning it... have you ever known me not to be cheap???)  I need to know who wants to make the blocks and the pockets.  

Keep in mind that I will not be able to provide pockets for everyone, but if we all can bring as many as we can and share our extras, that would be great!

Please leave a comment of how many block sets and how many pockets you would like to have.  Or you can email me.  Please let me know by Sunday!!

Also, please tell others about the craft group.  The more the merrier!!

Let me know if you have any questions.

January Craft Night

We're back!!  Lots of info to follow, so pay attention.

We will be meeting on Thursday January 27, at the church, at 8:30 pm.  Just ladies, no little ones.

We will have 2 projects to work on.  

#1  LOVE blocks.  These will be 2x2 blocks of wood.  We will paint them, then glue scrap paper with the letters printed on them.  You can sand, stain, mod podge them to your hearts desire.  If you want additional embellishments, you could do that as well.  

#2  Pockets of love.  These will be sweet little valentine jean pockets with a rick rack hanger.  They can be dressed in many ways.  They will be adorable to hang on a door knob and put a valentine or sweet treat in for a loved one.   Start collecting your old jeans!!

Even if you don't want to participate, please consider saving old jeans for others.  We will need them for this project as well as another in a few months.  Thanks!!

More information regarding price and supplies will be coming, but we wanted to get the date out to you and let you start thinking about if you want to participate.

BTW these pictures are just for the idea, not exactly what we will be making.  We will have them a valentine theme.  Thanks!
