We’re taking a little break, but we’ll be back to school with the rest of the kids on Thursday, September 6th. Keep an eye out for our fall class schedule, which will arrive in your mailbox soon. In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the summer, and we’ll see you in September!
Running The Craft Lounge over the past four years has been a dream come true for us. We certainly couldn’t have done it without YOU. So please come on by during Leonia’s National Night Out, and let us treat you to some tasty sweets, good company, and a chance to win a free workshop:

WOW. We are still reeling from a fantastic session of Craft Camp. In this one-week camp, we managed to complete 8 projects: paper mache & decoupage bowls; sugar scrubs with fancy labels; painted glass; pretty packaged spa soaps; foot jewelry; paper mache stick puppets; button necklaces; and paracord survival bracelets. We had so much fun, we’re considering running a mini-camp during February break!
Boy have the craft campers been busy. So far, we’ve made bowls out of paper mache and decoupage; luxurious sugar scrubs with fancy personalized labels; spa soaps (still waiting to be packaged for maximum awesomeness); and glamorous foot jewelry. We have a few more things in the hopper, too. There are still 2 days left, but the kids are already talking about what we’re going to do next summer!
Today is the first of our Kids’ Drop-in Wednesdays! Bring your child by for an hour or so to make decoupaged picture frames. (12:00pm – 5:00pm; ages 6 & up; $20)
Need a last-minute teacher present? A little something for that special graduate? We’ve got your back. Come on by and pick something from our splendid selection of affordable handmade gifts and cards.
Join us for the ultimate in instant-gratification crafting! Michele Muska, of Simplicity, will demonstrate how to use this fun machine, which has 12 needles for quick and easy felting. Learn how to give new life to things you already own – and to make beautiful new objects – with wool, silk, bits of yarn, repurposed sweaters & blankets, and more.
After you’ve had a chance to try this awesome machine, throw your name into the ring to win something in our raffle!
This event is FREE and no special skills are necessary.

Many of you have asked when we’d be getting more of these beautiful votive holders in — well, the they’re here! We have a nice, big selection in gorgeous colors, so stop on by to pick one out for yourself.
Also, please note that there will be no Drop-in Saturday craft this week. Join us next Saturday to make some beaded wine charms or rings.
