Here's a shout to all the local girls...
The second-ever Craft Swap is just a little bit more than a month away.
For those of you who don't know, the Craft Swap is
A) Just like a yankee swap, only with handmade items
B) A great chance to unleash your inner craft-diva
C) A surefire way to go home with something great
and
D) Insanely FUN!
And we would love to have you join.
There were almost thirty ladies swapping the last time we did this.
I think that any of them would say this is an event that is not to be missed.
There's a lot of swapping and stealing and I encourage that kind of thing.
Half the fun is stealing from each other, so NO BEING NICE!!!
(I assure you I will be cut-throat myself.)
Watch out for this lady in the picture above: she is RUTHLESS!!!
In order to participate, you MUST SIGN UP IN ADVANCE and receive a copy of the craft swap guidelines.
No craft swap crashing!
And, your craft does not need to be sewing-related.
It can be knit, crocheted, appliqued, decoupaged, felted, beaded, bangled, spangled, tatted, bedazzled, cooked, baked, or all of the above...
As long as it is handmade by you and FABULOUS, it is up for swapping.
(Okay, so bedazzling is probably out then.)
We will also have some food and drinks and the craft swap just happens to be the day after Mom's birthday so I think a little birthday cake is in order. She will probably try to use the birthday thing to her advantage and I can't blame her... it is a pretty good strategy.
So put your game/craft-diva face on and SIGN UP!!!
(You can do that by e-mailing me at rhea@alewivesfabrics.com, or calling us at 207-563-5002 OR you can stop in the shop and sign up in person.)
I hope to see you there!
XO,
Rhea

Totally off topic, but I'm new to this blog...
The Heather Bailey summer blouse looks like it might be strange in the shoulders. Did you make any changes?
