Make a Hula Hoop!

 

This weekend, our Drop-in Saturday craft is one that’s fun for kids and grown-ups alike.

Drop in on Saturday, September 24th between 12:00pm – 5:00pm, and we’ll show you how to make one for yourself. $20

Do something fun this fall!

 

We hope you’re enjoying these last days of summer. We certainly are, but we’re also looking forward to all the great classes we’ve got lined up for the fall.

 

Our new schedule includes two 4-week sessions of  TCL Craft Club, Drop-in Saturdays (including hula hoops!), and Shaina’s Mixed Bag Knit & Crochet, which is now being offered on Monday evenings, in addition to our regular Wednesday mornings. Marilyn Fernandez is also back with scrapbooking and other paper crafts for both adults and kids.

Taking a little vacation…

TCL will be closed from August 10th through August 30th. We hope you enjoy those last BBQs and days at the beach, and we look forward to seeing you all on August 31st.

 

We’ll be mailing the fall class schedule out soon.  Craft Club will return on Thursdays, and we’ll be unveiling some brand new classes as well. Thanks, as always, for your support.  Now, go have some fun!

 

Thank You

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping The Craft Lounge reach its third anniversary. We are so grateful for your support, and we look forward to sharing another great year with you.
