Get a jump-start on National Hobby Month (January)!

Out with the old and in with the re-newed, as we craft our way into a green 2011! This winter, join us as we make beads out of paper and create new jewelry out of broken and neglected old pieces. It’s always fun to be eco-friendly at TCL! We’ve also added day and night sections of our knit and crochet workshops, in several different levels — something for every busy schedule.  So, start your year off right by treating yourself or someone you love (classes make a great last-minute holiday gift!) to one of our great workshops: TCL Class Schedule

We’re staying up late to usher in the holiday season and we hope you’ll join us. Stop by to spread some good cheer and get a head start on your holiday shopping.

Learn how to make upcycled mini trees…

We sold a ton of these trees last year (well, maybe not a TON, but you get the idea).  I think it’s time to share the secret of how to make these cuties.  So, on Thursday, December 9 from 8-9PM, we show you how!  Feel free to bring in a felted wool sweater (call us if you have questions), or use one of ours. We’ll also supply you with vintage ornaments and glitter to make these trees extra-special. This is a fun craft that ANYONE can do, promise.  We have a few spaces left, so if you’d like to sign up, please e-mail us: info@thecraftlounge.com, call us: 201-944-3311, or better yet, stop by!  See you soon…

We’re now collecting the chemo caps…

Thanks to everyone who’s been madly knitting/crocheting hats for our chemo cap charity event.  We’ll be collecting all the hats and donating them to a local organization in mid-November.  So, please drop off your hats at The Craft Lounge in the next few weeks.

Thanks again for all of your help.
