Crafting a Creative Summer Event

Hello Artists and Crafters! Summer can be an excellent time to work on your arts and crafts projects, or even try something new! With that in mind, over the next 2 months I’m hoping to provide lots of opportunities for motivation and inspiration with our “Crafting a Creative Summer” event.

Take a chance on something new with one of our “Try it Out Tuesdays & Thursday” ideas, celebrate your love of yarns with “Wonders in Wool” on Wednesdays, explore new “Mediums and Methods” on Mondays or maybe you’ll try your hand at “Sewing Saturdays”, or just join in creating a “Cupful of Colour” every Sunday, and don’t forget to save some money with our “Frugal Fridays!”

If you have ideas or might like to help make this event a success please don’t hesitate to reach out! As each day’s thread is created it will be added to the list below.
