Learn new crafts, teach your favorite, and find a group of friends who enjoy your same hobbies. Whether you scrapbook, tat, do needle point, knit, crochet, sew, make jewelry, quilt, or have other crafty addictions this is the place for you!

I am putting together a group of men and women who want to teach and learn from each other - as well as make new friends. An example:  I know how to knit very well (and I'm humble) - but I do not know how to crochet or use my sewing machine.  I can teach knitting and I want to learn the other stuff - including any other fun craft that a member is willing to teach! I am thinking meetups at my house on occassion when we need an outlet - say for a sewing machien or hot glue gun!  And having other m …

We are a group of people in the DC Metro area that love craft beer and trying new things! Beer Snobs need not apply! We are much to laid back to talk snobbery and say we hate this or that. We try all and accept all as they are. We meet twice a month, the first and third Thursday at local bars that have a good craft beer selection. And one Saturday a month we tour a local (or not to distant) brewery or host a bottle share!

I am an independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and Creative Coach.  I'm looking forward to sharing techniques, layouts and projects with you! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions.

Consider this a kind of graduate level literary fiction reading/writing/workshop. I am open to location/dates/times/number of times/number of members with the following caveats: If we are going …
