Post-Valentine’s Day Crafting in LA, Feb. 15th

Dear Friends in Craft:

My apologies for the long hiatus.  It’s hard work growing a baby!  The first Church of Craft meeting for 2009 is just around the corner, on Sunday, February 15th.

Come on down (or up, depending on where you live).

Grab your knitting needles, crochet hooks, embroidery thread, yarn, paper, pens, pencils, anything you need to make something cool and join us Sunday, February 15th for the next Church of Craft meeting.  I’ve missed everyone!

Meeting details:

Where: The Coffee Table in Eagle Rock
1958 Colorado Boulevard

When: Sunday, February 15th
2:00 pm until 5:00 pm or so

You can park on the street or in a lot across the way for free.
For those of you taking public transportation, many bus lines
and the DASH serve this street. Check out the trip planner on
MTA.net to plan out your specific route.

Email me with any questions or comments at: brenda@churchofcraft.org

Also, if you have any suggestions for future meetings or things you’d like to do, let me know.

Peace Through Craft,
Brenda

Craft-On at ETSY in Brooklyn


Please join us on the third Thursday of every month from 5-8 pm.
We’ll be at Etsy Labs!

55 Washington Street, Suite 712 in DUMBO Brooklyn

This place is AMAZING! The labs are home to all kinds of special tools & equipment, plus lots of donated supplies for us to use (but it would be a good idea to bring thread & stuff if you want to use the sewers). They are all about encouraging people to make stuff, just like us, so we get to have this special event every month where access to all of their goodies is totally free. If you like it there you can always go back for their Monday Craft Nights.

There is lots of big tables & chairs to spread out on. Our meetings are a casual drop in affair, come any time, bring anyone, bring anything you are working on or come & just check out what everyone else is up to. Snacks are welcome.

Sign up for the monthly e-mail update here.

Please e-mail the Very Esteemed Callie Janoff for more information.

Can’t wait to see you there!

Back in the Saddle in Anchortown!

What an awesome summer it has been! I know we’ve all been busy scurrying around outdoors enjoying what the weather had to offer, and now with termination dust making it’s debut on the mountains, it’s time for us to take our cue to get crafty.

Join us at Bella Boutique (2601 Spenard Rd, Midtown) for an as always fun night of getting our craft on. Thursday September 29th from 5 – 8ish with munchies, your brew or vintage of choice, and a lot of fun. Tables and chairs provided, but feel free to bring a floor pillow to kick it Old School. Overflow craftiness moves to Sugarspoon next door.

As always this group is open to the public so spread the word. We are a totally fun group (if I do say so myself) and respect the opinions and views of all members.

And of course, keep track of the chatter on our Facebook page. Get in on the action and get crafty!
