Magic Loop Knitting Class – 10/25/10 @ 7:30PM

Posted by on October 20, 2010

Do you hate knitting with double-pointed needles?  Well, Kathy will be holding a class next Monday that will teach you how to knit in the round without them.  It’s magical!  She’s betting that you’ll be so into “magic loop knitting” that you’ll be inspired to knit a toasty pair of socks.  Here are the details:

Monday, October 25 from 7:30PM to 9:00PM ($25)

We’ll be taking reservations for the class until Friday evening.  If you’d like to sign up, please call: 201/944-3311, e-mail: info@thecraftlounge.com or visit our handy-dandy website: http://thecraftlounge.com/.  I feel loopy already.

Carve a Pumpkin That’s Squirrel-proof!

Posted by on October 11, 2010

I can’t tell you how many complaints I’ve heard about rabid squirrels destroying people’s poor pumpkins.  Well, we’ve found a way to foil those pesky critters: Faux Pumpkins!  They look just like the real thing, but they’ll never get moldy & they don’t taste great either!  We have 4 spots open for the Faux Pumpkin Carving Class (Family-Friendly).  Enrollment is open until Thursday.

Faux Pumpkin Carving ~ $25 ~ 6 spaces

Saturday, October 16 from 2 to 3:30PM

We’ll supply you with a very realistic-looking faux pumpkin, and we’ll teach you how to carve that baby so that you can enjoy it year after year, and no one will be the wiser.

Shrinkymobiles!

Posted by on October 7, 2010

What could be better than a cool mobile? A mobile made from shrink plastic and chopsticks, that’s what! The Tuesday Craft Club crew spent yesterday afternoon busily drawing away. Next week, we’ll assemble their mobiles. These will look so great hanging in the kids’ rooms!

Treasure Boxes!

Posted by on September 29, 2010
Paint, glue, pretty papers, ric-rac, markers… we pulled out all the stops when we made these fun treasure boxes at Tuesday’s Craft Club. Some of the kids shared what they’ll be keeping in their boxes, but we’ll never tell!

More fun at Craft Club…

Posted by on September 27, 2010

The kids had fun making these pretty decoupaged pencil tins last week at Craft Club.  They were skeptical about how they would turn out since they were covered in white glue when they left.  I think they’ll be surprised when they see how lovely they now look!  This turned out to be a perfect kids craft.  All ages enjoyed it.
