Greetings!   

 

Whoa we almost let January slip by us!  First we'd like to thank everybody for a great 2011! 

 

2012 has kicked off in style - weather-wise, anyway. If the world's going to end this year, we'll at least have a milder winter to show for it. Right?? But it just means you better get all the crafting done you have on your "someday" list. So get crackin'!

 

We will be participating in our first yarn shop hop in April! More details to come as we get closer to the date, but we will be debuting our own Crafty Planet yarn as part of the shop hop festivities!

 

 

Just a reminder, Craft n' Chat is now just on the FIRST TUESDAY of each month, 7-9pm.
