Spring & Autumn Happenings


Craft-n-Chat

Please join our online social gatherings! We meet twice a year to share and get inspired.

Every autumn and spring, you can enjoy six fun projects and a special creative challenge. Grab your favorite drink, log on, and let’s create together!

We invite you to dive into these six creative opportunities each autumn and spring, and check out #7, the creative challenge specific to each date on their pages.

We can’t wait to see your innovative work! Let’s make this event truly special together!
