Meetup group intended to explore Washington's craft beer scene. There are plenty of interesting taps around the city and some breweries as well. We'll try to sample some of their wares, and we'll do so in a way that respects the beverage, the craft, and each other (i.e., this is NOT for the binge crowd!).  Anyone interested in tasting and learning about a chronically underrated and underestimated craft, and doing so in moderation, is invited to join.  We do monthly events, and if you want to mee …

There are so many reasons to be a scrapbooker, cardmaker or papercrafter and if are reading this, then you are already well aware of what those are or are interested enough to find out for yourself.  For me, nothing says it better than "scrapbooking is cheaper than therapy". Making time for it makes me a better wife, mother, daughter, friend and neighbor! One of my favorite things about this hobby is that there is such a camaraderie among other women who share your interests, and that is what t …

Hi all, As a divorced baby boomer thinking about retirement I'm interested in finding an alternative to living alone or in a high-rise retirement building. An alternative that allows several women to live together and have separate 1-2 bedroomn apartments while also sharing some common space like kitchen, dining, deck, garden, craft/art studio space, etc. for enjoying each others company. The research I've done shows that co-housing communities tend to be expensive and they often have long w …

I am a newbie to crochet and want to learn more. I am not able to go outside the area to other crochet events, so I decided to see if there is a want for a crochet social in the Woodbridge/Dale City area. If so---Great!

I would be great to make it into a regular class for our youth. There is soo many avenues I would love to …
