Last night was our first monthly crafter's roundup at the Grow Interactive offices. Those guys (especially Drew) have been extremely supportive of everything the Craft Mafia's been doing. They are letting us use their space for free for our meetups and workshops. So awesome! They're the official sugar daddies of the Norfolk Craft Mafia. Thanks Grow!

Lots of crafty hands last night. Decoupage, embroidery, crochet, spinning, more crochet.

We are planning a Learn to Crochet workshop in the next month or so. If you know the basics of crochet and would like to lend your skills, please comment on this post or email info@norfolkcraftmafia.com and let us know!

See everyone at the next meeting February 3!

Another Norfolk Craft Mafia skill-sharing workshop! Learn to Crochet!

If you are attending please RSVP by replying to this post so we can know how many supplies to bring!

How to sew a lining for a crocheted bag. I have a feeling this will come in handy after our Learn to Crochet workshop in a few weeks!

Check out this super easy ironing board cover tutorial! I am totally making one with these vintage curtains I found at a yard sale.

Recipe: Black bean hummus with olives. YUM!

Eat, Drink & Be Crafty, an awesome little social event is coming up February 10, brought to you by the Richmond Craft Mafia. Sounds like a lot of fun! If you're interested in going, post here, maybe we can organize a carpool!
