Upcoming Events

We had a great meeting this past Thursday and the sweet treats that everyone brought, well I might as well just apply them directly to the location where they were going to end up!





First, We Can DO IT - to show up at our T-shirt workshop & Parade that is! See note at end on why we need to DO IT!

Here is the line-up for the next months meetings, all meetings are at Emily's home at 7pm until otherwise notified.

March 15th - Wichita Handmade T-shirt night! Bring your T or "T's" to the meeting where we will either stencil or bleach print our WH logo or name (ok or both) onto them and we shall be all prepped and ready for the parade on Saturday. So... this means workshop day & fun all wrapped up into one!

March 17th - Represent Wichita Handmade in the Delano St. Pat's Parade, we need everyone! Bring yourself, your children and your children's children, all are welcome! $3.00 donation for the parade fee would be greatly appreciated (it's been paid for by other members).

April 19th Stash Swap (timely planned just before the Parking Lot Sale - see note below)! Bring any tools, papers, books from your crafting stash that have been ignored and are undoubtedly unwanted and help them find a new home.

April 28th Parking Lot Sale at Wichita Pottery/Secret Garden (fee to be announced, it's usually really really low).

May 17th Photography workshop. Ever wanted to know how to get the best photo for your products for Etsy or your website?

June 21st Notepad workshop. Learn how to make some snappy, snazzy notepads (which I think always come in handy).

July 19th Stamp making workshop. Learn how to make some handy, dandy stamps (which I think always come in handy too)!

August 23rd Handmade Necklace workshop. What else can you make with a t-shirt or fabric, why a necklace of course. Two different demos will be provided.

September 20th Christmas Gift Exchange. Yeppers, planning ahead we are! This way we can get gifts lined up way before Christmas, rather than the night before Christmas!

Now for some busy-ness, we are working on an Etsy Grant and to schmooz them a little bit we could really, really, really use a good turn out for the T-shirt workshop and at the parade for St. Patty's day. We are trying to get a screen printer so we can do our own t-shirts in the future. Here's my thinking, the more people we have at the parade wearing our homespun handmade T's will help them take pity on us while also applauding our ingenuity. They will then agree completely that we truly do need a screen printing machine and knowing in their heart of hearts that we will put it to great use immediately for the betterment of the handmade community. Great idea don't you think? Thought so! Can we DO IT? Yes, we can, so please - we need a really great Wichita Handmade "family" photo and would like everyone and their youngen's and their youngen's youngens to come to the St. Patty partay with the T's we make March 15th! Also, any photos that you may have of our buttons from our past grant winning button machine would be welcome also. Trying to put together a really great grant package and both of the above would help tremendously.
