We've received a couple of inquiry phone calls from the Community Events notice in the Pennysaver. Tells me there is interest out there beyond the confines of BHR.

Looking toward our first evening gathering, I've compiled a list of craft "topics", some of the possibilities, interests, ideas that people might have. While doing so I have began to put together SOME supplies for any subject that I might have. Can't bring all my craft stash, car won't hold it.

If something catches your eye and you think you would like to try it at the first meeting, please try to bring at least the minimal supplies you would need:

Example (1): Counted cross stitch: You should at the very least bring a needle and maybe an embroidery hoop. There will be patterns, a very small amount cross stitch fabric, some floss, and embroidery hoops.

Example (2) Gallery Glass: Bring a piece of plastic to practice on. Patterns and some gallery glass colors will be available.

Example (3) Polymer Clay: We have some Sculpey clay in a few colors, along with patterns. If you have an old cookie sheet, oven safe glass tray, or other flat cleanable surface please bring it to practice on. Not something that you will ever use again for food!

Example (4) Loom weaving: We will have one small plastic loom, with some yarn to practice. Patterns and instructions of course.

Example (5) Crochet: Please bring a needle for your own use. If someone brings theirs and shares with you please remember to return. There will be some threads and yarns available along with patterns.

Example (6) Plastic Canvas: Patterns, limited canvas, limited yarn available. Please bring a tapestry needle.

Example (7) Painting - Well, we will have some colors in a variety of mediums to share. If you want to paint on canvas, please bring your own. Bring your own brushes too if possible. Just a multi-pack like the "One Stroke" will get you started. There will be some small pieces of wood, and rocks for surfaces. Practice paper available.

Here is the list I've compiled. If you think of anything else and/or have some supplies to share or patterns please bring them..............
