I'm opening up 2 spaces for the Halloween Craft Night. First 2 to email me are in. FULL- Thanks!

 Kate's been running around the house for weeks saying, "Great Pumpkin, WHERE ARE YOU????" When I asked her what I could applique for her, she wanted a pumpkin. A pumpkin it was. For the Halloween Craft Night we are going to be reverse-appliqueing which is a really fun & simple technique that you can use…

Mark your calendars my fellow Angelinos (that sounds/feels weird.) This looks like a great time for the whole family! I love that some of the proceeds benefit LAUSD school garden programs even though I'm pretty sure our school doesn't have one. Boo.  They had me at Tote Bag, Giveaways and Chef Demo's.
