First Meeting!

Our first meeting ever took place last Thursday on the 13th (sorry about posting this a little late). Two members sadly couldn't make it, but nevertheless, we had a fun and successful time. Since it was just the first day, we decided to take it easy with the crafts. First, we made a couple of announcements on upcoming events and fundraisers (such as the Couple's Basket) and then we decorated our craft bags with fabric paint, felt, lace, and more. We shared a lot of great discussions and even had a little taste of Ms. Mitchell's (our supervisor/sponsor) personal music (hee hee).

Here's a few pics of the club in action (sorry for the sucky camera angles, I don't exactly have a steady hand)

Sneak Peak: Couple's Basket Raffle

Attention all couples attending GPA!

I know it's a bit early to start thinking about gifts for Valentine's Day, but if you want to get your sweetie a great gift, it's better to prepare for an opportunity like this. Starting February, The Craftettes plan to sell raffle tickets. Buy these tickets for a chance to win the Couple's Basket (valued around $40!) Specific details will come later*

*details may change,but will be updated immediately

Here's a couple of pics of the things contained in the basket:

-two adorable plastic "glasses"

-a pair of hand-crocheted love birds (valued at $5 each)

-a pair of coordinating wrist warmers, also hand-crocheted (valued at $5 each)

-this is how the wrist-warmer looks while being worn

-a hand-crocheted sleep mask with a sequin accented strap, which is backed by a soft felt on the other side (valued at $15)

not pictured: a miniature bottle of apple cider, decorated recipe cards for Valentine's Day dinner ideas, and a large Valentine's Day card made and decorated by The Craftettes' fellow co-prez herself, Jinsil

Remember that you don't have to have a boyfriend or girlfriend if you want this basket. The basket can also impress your crush, too!

Love,
Hannah

Brief Intro...

So you must be asking, Who are the Craftettes?
The Craftettes is the name of the new craft club at our high school. It's a play on the word "crafter" with the ending "ette" (Think "The Ronettes" or "The Pipettes", two awesome musical artists I highly recommend if you're into to that whole 60's girl-group pop).

Our club is not totally official, but we've been approved by the school and our upcoming meeting is going to take place around next week. From there, we'll round up members and give them a little taste of craftivism. All our future projects are going to be eco-friendly, easy to construct, and a lot of fun. We'll post pics in the future of projects, fundraisers, and events to keep ya'll in touch with our whereabouts.

So don't go away, we're just getting started!

-Hannah, co-founder of The Craftettes
