Spring Spoonful Lab Recap

May 5, 2014 By Erica Deuel 5 Comments

craft_party_roomDo you know the feeling of when you dream, plan, and prepare for something for so long and then it’s over?

Part of you is relieved. Part of you may be sad. A lot of you might be tired. BUT, through it all you have a really happy high that you are proud of what you accomplished. I have been dreaming of hosting a Spoonful Lab in my house ever since I dreamed up the idea of hosting craft days last fall.

It’s no secret I love to create and help inspire others to do the same. I feel like if we use our imaginations and try new things, we can create beautiful things for less, and the process of creating can teach us so much. The blog allows me to do a lot of this, but hosting craft days where I can love on, poor in, get to know, and relate with fellow crafters and new friends in person!? That is a side of this whole blogging/business that just lights a fire in me. I love it. Until it is possible to bring you all to my house, I will still take my crafts to you through this blog and my Spoonful Tribe craft kits.

I demonstrated how I make mine, laid out a bunch of fun embellishments and my sewing machine and let everyone get their craft on.

craft_dayIt was so fun to see girls meeting, relating, and encouraging one another in such a short period. I love how these events bring crafting and being relational together. Too of my favorite things! It was so fun to see how some girls put their own spin on something I have created or go totally in their own direction!

I love seeing the originality and creativity come alive! I learn so much from being around other creative people. This was one inspiring day!craft_party_creations

heart_embroidery_hoopAfter making embroidery hoops, we ate lunch and then made some screen print type pillowcases. I loved everyone’s pillowcase! I had a third craft, but we didn’t even get to it. Everyone took it go. I was so happy to see everyone felt comfortable enough to go at their own pace, create what they wanted…and even felt comfortable to get down on my floor to craft!

    […] The next step was getting guests! I ended up just posting a Facebook status asking if anyone else was interested in crafting and chatting. I was amazed at the responses I got! That led me to pricing out what my costs would probably be. I bought all the supplies, tablecloths, and drinks. I ended up asking everyone to bring a side to share. This gave away the part that stresses me out, kept the cost down, and kept me planning the part I most enjoy – the craft! I learned from hosting my last craft day. […]
