There are so many varieties and they're all so gorgeous. I love their texture, their color, the way they don't hate me when I forget to water them. They're easy peasy to take care of and even easier to propagate. More on that awesome in a future post...


I was super excited when, while perusing my local meetups, the Crafty Girl had an event using pretty succulents she had propagated herself and cute vintage containers she had been collecting from around town. I couldn't wait to sign up and brought my friend Sarah with me. The Crafty Girl was sweet, funny and great to hang out with and we got to go home with two pretty creations (I'll try not to kill...)



That awesome purple in the vase is actually recycled mirrors broken, tumbled, and dyed delicious color. She found it at Ikea... if I weren't in the process of my own Ikea intervention, I'd head there now, because pretty.


Sarah and I had a chance to be social, crafty and creative. Love that. The whole premise of theCraftySocial! I'm still in the planning stages, but wouldn't you love to get together with old friends and new friends and create something handmade and fancy? I can't wait til all of these plans floating in my head come to fruition! I hope you can join me!

I have always been know to family and friends as the "crafty" type. I am pretty consistently elbows deep in about 397 different crafty endeavors and planning the next 12. I love paper and glue and paint and textiles and anything else that allows me to be creative while crafting something pretty and handmade...  However, there's so much that I want to do, so much that I'm inspired by, that I'm unable to follow through on any one project to completion before something else entirely has caught my eye.

I love the process of planning and prepping and trying out new hobbies, and over the years I've come to realize THAT is the part of crafting I love so much. If you're anything like me, or maybe you're interested in starting something new, or maybe you have no clue what it is you'd like to try, or feel UNcrafty all together.... You're going to LOVE the Craft Social! You'll have a chance to dig in to a variety of different crafty projects, get a taste of various techniques, socialize with fellow lovely peeps and all in just a couple of hours. Better still, you'll go home with something pretty and handcrafted by YOU!

From DIY home decor, to mixed media art, to handmade jewelry, I have SOOO many project ideas for all of you! I hope you'll join along in the fun!

I can't wait!

There are literally thousands of hobbies out there... thousands of ways to be creative and crafty. Inspiration is everywhere you look. If you're anything like me, you want to try it ALL! I have a craft room full of supplies to prove it... I am absolutely intrigued by anything and everything that encourages me to make something beautiful with my hands!

Maybe you have a certain hobby that you love already, maybe you want to try something new, maybe you've decided you're UNcrafty all together... and to that I say no way! Craft Social is a great way to try something new or learn new techniques while hanging out with other lovely crafty people and take home something fabulous and handcrafted by YOU!

Each meetup will include all of the supplies you'll need to complete a project and are generally 1-2 hours in length! Purchase a ticket to attend and then head to the Facebook Event page (link will be provided) and RSVP. Bring a friend and get ready to have fun!!
