Year-Round "Home" Blocks - April 25th and May 23rd

I made my first trip to The Wood Connection last weekend and was not disappointed!  They had so many cute wood crafts, I could have bought everything in the store!  One thing I really liked were these "Home" blocks with the interchangable "o".  There are 13 different "o" pieces for each month of the year + a birthday one too!  I thought this would be fun to do together, since it is seasonal with all of the different blocks :)

The month "o" pieces come in a couple of different sets -
since May is just around the corner, we'll start with the summer blocks.
May

June

July

August
These "H" is just over 6" tall.  
You'll have a choice between black, brown, or cream for their H, m, and e letters. 

Because it would take too many hours to do all of these in one night
(paint the letters and each of the 4 "o" pieces), this craft night will be split into two - We'll first meet on April 25th at 7:00 to paint the flower (for May) and the H, m, e letters.  Then, on May 23rd we'll finish the June, July, and August pieces.  I will be buying these in a set which will cost $25 (including wood, paint, glitter, ribbon, etc). 
Full payment will be required before the first craft night.

*if by some chance you already have the letters but want more "o" pieces, the cost for these 4 "o" pieces (inclinding wood, paint, glitter, ribbon, etc) will be $15.

I'd like to get a head count so I can get the wood ordered asap. 
If you would like to attend this craft night,
please email craftywives@gmail.com for more information.

Menu Board - February 7th @ 7:00pm

I have been wanting to make a Menu Board for months!

Having an easy way to "meal plan" has so many benefits!
You save money (because you eat out less), you have ingredients you need
(because you planned and bought them ahead of time),
you eat healthier, and you'll have less stress before dinner time!
This is definitely something I could use at our house!




On February 7th at 7:00pm you'll be able to make one of these cute menu boards!


Option 1
checkered/polka dot
light black/cream

Option 2
Floral/Brown/Cream


turquoise blue, mustard yellow, pea green, solid red

All spots are filled! 

Space is limited!
If you're interested in coming, text Heather or send an email to
craftywives@gmail.com and I'll get you more information.

This craft will take around 2 hours to complete.

Lantern Vases - January 5th

It seems like Christmas approaches and life tends to get WAY crazy. With that craziness (and Teresa, CraftyWife #1 moving) our blog has been so neglected!

We planned a craft night making these cute Lantern type Vases for December
and it sneaked up so fast that some of you weren't able to make it.
We will be holding another vase night next week on Thursday, January 5th at 7:00p.



Another fun craft will be posted soon- more info coming!

Last Craft Night....

Okay, it's been WAY too long since this poor blog has been updated.

Here are the 3 pictures we took at our last craft night
(making stocking hangers)....
They turned out so cute and
we hope you all were able to use them for Christmas!

November Craft - "The Stockings Were Hung...."

As young married couples, many of us run into the problem of not having a fireplace/mantle to hang stockings on for Christmas. Instead of just nailing stockings to the wall, we thought it'd be fun to make a wall hanger to put your stockings on. This sign is 19''x10''.


This craft night will be held on Tuesday, November 8th at 7:00pm.



We have a few price options this month based on the number of knobs you want on your sign.
Option 1: sign with 2 knobs will be $10
Option 2: sign with 3 knobs will be $11
Option 3: sign with 4 knobs will be $12
Option 4: sign with 5 knobs will be $13

You have three color options: cranberry red, cream, and hauser green.


This craft night has closed! We'll see all of you who signed up next Tuesday!


If you can't come to the craft night on November 8th but you'd like to make this craft, you can buy a kit for $13. See the form for more information.
Just a quick reminder that your spot will not be held until you have paid-

If you are coming to our October craft night, remember that you can sign up there for this one! If you choose to sign up at the October craft night,
please bring your money with you so we can start getting your supplies.

Thanks everyone!

Googly Eye Frame

When I saw this frame I knew I had to make one!




Check here for the tutorial. I waited too long to find "EEK" letters in stock at Joanns, so I ended up buying a 19 cent wooden bat to put on mine.

What a cute idea!
