Looking for something to do with your kids?

Wow! Winter Break is right around the corner. Wondering how on earth to entertain your kids and their friends? How about a sewing lesson? Put that old sewing machine Grandma gave you to work! We offer sewing classes that are appropriate for all age groups and skill levels. You can even learn something new together by taking the Parent and Child Sewing Class — check out our calendar for details. Our First Annual Secret Santa will be held this weekend, December 16th from noon until 5pm. Kids and teens can purchase handmade crafts for $10 and under all day! It will be easy to find something for everyone on their holiday list. There will be volunteers from Cleveland Church of Craft available to walk children through the store if you are on their nice list. (If you’ve been naughty, you’d better make up for it now!)Local artists and designers have been working hard in Santa’s workshop to bring your children some unique and beautiful items, so we’ll see you Sunday.
