Big Boxes

I love when the UPS man arrives, and I always seem to forget what could possibly be in the box. Well, this time the new round of Midwest Modern from Amy Butler,

and the latest yummy delicious round of Drawing Room from Anna Maria Horner. By the way, I just ordered her next quilt fabric line called Garden Party and honestly, really, it is my favorite fabric line ever. EVER. I hope you love it too. Pretty sure you will.

Jewelry Classes with Jennifer Perkins

Last month we had the fortune of having the lovely Jennifer Perkins of Naughty Secretary Club teach a couple of awesome jewelry classes here. Above is a photo of the girls at the end of the Charm Bracelet Class. I was so jealous that I had to do paperwork, because the beading options alone was killer. Jennifer brought the best and funkiest bead selection ever.


There were so many options, all the girls made totally unique and different creations!

Anywho, coming up this month we've got three new classes with Jennifer:

Charm Bracelet and Earring Class - Saturday, June 21st from 11am-1pm
Fabric Jewelry Class - Thursday, June 19th from 6:30-8:30pm
Collage Cuties Class - Tuesday June 17th from 6:30-8:30pm

Each class is only $40 bucks and includes all the materials. Email us to sign up at info@austincraftorama.com and check out the website for all the juicy details.

Here are just a few examples of the outrageous creations you can make in the fabric jewelry and paper jewelry classes!

Crafty, Crafty

Ever had one of those icky plastic wrist pincushions? They are sticky, uncomfortable and pretty much unbearable. Well at our last craft night, we put our troubles to rest by creating some super sweet fabric wrist cushions that are not only comfy, but stylish as well!

Adding the finishing touch of the button, love the glitter.

Look how in to it everyone is, or are they just avoiding the camera?

Crafty wrist pincushions unite! The next Craft Night is Thursday 6/12 and we are making appliques! Bring something to applique on and we'll supply the patterns, fabrics and instruction. Bring your friends, your drink and snack and join us for some crafty fun!

Oh Anna....

Okay, this first group isn't Anna, but I'm not technically savvy. Above is some fun home dec cupcake fabric. Perfect for tablecloths and such!

Now onto my new obsession. Oh Anna Maria Horner, you rock my world. Your new fabric line "Drawing Room" arrived today (more on the way) and I want to take it all home and for my very own. Love, love, love the colors and big bold graphic prints! Thank you.
