the first meeting of the {craft mafia} pcb!



... will be July 31st, at 11 am at my place!! Yay!! I'll have tables set up for use as workspaces, sewing machines {too many, if you ask my DH ~ but then, he doesn't "get it!"}, beading station, hot-fix crystals {an obscene amount} and more!

{if you don't already know where "my place" is, holler at me for directions!}

We'll have a light lunch {so we don't run the risk of being too full to craft, much less get food on our projects!}, chat a bit, and then, my idea for the first meeting's project is ...

Refashioning! Have a top or pair of jeans that just doesn't "wow" you anymore? Too plain? Too ... ugh?! Well, our first meeting is gonna help you take that garment and make it {WOW!}!!

I'll have beads, hot-fix crystals, several {ask DH} books on refashioning ideas, tips, and techniques, and an embroidery machine to make any embroideries/patches/appliques needed!!

Soo ... for the 10 {shy} people who've signed up ~ and whoever else wants in {the more, the merrier ~ and the more ideas!}, go ahead and start rummaging in your closet for those "blah" pieces!!

Whoooooooo-hoooo!!! :)

{Craft Mafia}



I have always had a jonezin' to earn my bones for the {Craft Mafia}. Luckily for me, joining the Craft Mafia doesn't require giving some poor guy a pair of cement shoes. All it involves is starting a "local" group! So consider this my grassroots effort! :)

{if you don't know what the Craft Mafia is, take a sec and go {{here}}. Then come back. I'll wait for you, I promise!}

So. If you like crafting; like being creative; like hangin' out with creative peeps; sharing your particular craft genre; or learning about someone else's; and you think running with scissors should be an Olympic sport AND you live in the Panama City-ish area:

Okay ~ what do {you} have to do? It's easy. Just hit the group up on {{FaceBook}} or via my {{email}} and just tell me a little bit about you, what you're looking for and what you'd like to do. Since this is a grassroots effort, you get to have a {huge!} say in what's what! Sounds good, huh?!

Hoping to hear from you!! 

As always,
{sew-y craft-y hugs!}
