We're back!

Wow, what a winter! Spring is now here and the Craft Lounge is back on every first Monday at Fleur Fabrics. Please bring something crafty to work on and come hang out with other creatives this Monday, April 6th from 7:00 - 9:00 pm. The event is free - but I'd bring some money because Fleur has lots of yummy new stuff for Spring!

See you there!

We still *heart* craft, but...

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will not be having the I *heart* Craft event this month. I do apologize for any heartbreak this may cause. We will be on our regular schedule at Fleur Fabrics starting next month (March). Till then, keep on crafting!

It's swap time!

Happy New Year! I hope your holiday season was good and crafty!

For January and February, the Craft Lounge will be held in conjunction with another event. On March 2nd we will have our regular BYOC night at Fleur Fabrics. Then in April we are cooking up something nice as a precursor to Spring Bada-bing - RVA's only large scale indie craft show.

January

The Craft Lounge will be held on Sunday January 18th at Art Works. The Richmond Craft Mafia and the Richmond Etsy Street Team are holding the 2nd annual Crafter's Anonymous Craft Swap that day from 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm. There will craft tables (supplies provided!) where you can work, sit, and chat with other crafters. Feel free to participate in the swap as well! Bring all those gently used or unused supplies you have lying around and swap them out for new-to-you ones. For more information on the swap, please check out http://www.RichmondCraftSwap.com.

If you want to just sit and craft, please mention this blog post at the door so you won't be charged for coming in.

February

Love is in the air and February's Craft Lounge will be held in conjunction with this year's I *heart* Craft event. The event is scheduled for Sunday February 8th from 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm at 201 W. Broad Street (the same location as 2008's Fawn Shop). This is a social event for any and all crafters and lovers of craft(ers) in RVA. More details to come soon!

So, no need to sit at home and craft alone this winter. Come on out to Craft Lounge and make a new crafty friend!

December Craft Lounge

Happy Holidays everyone! December has turned out to be pretty busy for everyone so we are NOT hosting a Craft Lounge this month. Please continue to support our sponsor Fleur Fabrics! Jenny has some wonderful things in stock that you can use to make practical, handmade holiday gifts.

We have big Craft Lounge plans for both January and February! Stay tuned for more information to follow soon!

Happy Holidays!

It's almost Holiday time!

November's craft lounge will be this Monday from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at Fleur Fabric Boutique.  Since the holiday season is fast approaching we're getting a jump on handmade holiday cards (greeting cards, invitations, place cards, etc.).  Techniques on how to incorporate fabric, yarn, and ribbon to your cards with fusible webbing and even sewing will be discussed and demonstrated.  I'm into recycling last years cards into new cards to give away this year and looking for more ideas - so if upcycling is your thing, come out and swap ideas!  

As always, you are welcome to bring whatever you want to work on if card making isn't your thing.  Bring your goods and we'll see you tomorrow!
