This Wednesday (TONIGHT!) March 14th, 2012 from 9pm until 12-ish at Akbar, it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
Project: Photo Leprechaun Ornament (amaaaaazing) 
$2 Processing fee, please
$4 Cosmo Drink Special – The Luck o’ the Irish in a hot pink martini glass… 

It’s not enough to chase leprechauns anymore, just like it’s not enough to belong to just ONE social network.
Today’s modern times demand that YOU be YOUR OWN leprechaun and start partaking in various types of mischief.
Stop messing around building all those leprechaun traps! You have the power to grant yourself three awesome wishes and free yourself from the endless waiting!
You are your own fairy shoemaker!
You are your own pot o’ gold! (and I’m not talkin’ about the toilet…)
You are your own wizen’d wrinkled and bearded olde elfe!
You are the rainbow!
YOU ARE MAGICAL!
To further instill the idea that you can move mountains and wear buckles on your shoes and smoke from a meerschaum pipe, we’ll be working with a good luck ornament that involves tiny wooden spools, foam pieces and a space (1 1/4″ round photo size) for a picture of your head. You can choose a photo of someone else’s head, or the cat’s head, or you know… something totally naughty or crazy, use your imagination, it’s your thang, do what you wanna do. At the end of the evening, you will have this very cool looking leprechaun ornament!
You can hang it from someone’s car mirror to scare the heck out of them on St. Patrick’s Day! Leave it on the doorknob! Perch it on the coffee maker at work! It’s sensational, and I think its safe to say it will bring you good fortune beyond your control.
Your four leaf clover runneth over, see what I’m talking about, and see you tonight!

Erin go Braugh at the Craft Table,

This Wednesday, February 29th, 2012 from 9pm until midnight at Akbar it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
Project: Magnet Crafts on LEAP DAY!!! 
$2 Processing fee, please!
$4 Cosmopolitans! The best part of waking up, is Cosmo in your cup! 

It is with great pleasure and happiness that I announce our very FIRST Leap Day CraftNight in the history of all CraftNights!

As you know, the 29th of February comes into existence once every four years to keep our seasonal calendar from tearing apart and blasting the collective world’s chronological structure asunder, making everyone’s day runners and smartphones explode into a fiery pit of misery.
Adding an extra day to the calendar every four years compensates for the fact that a period of 365 days is shorter than a solar year by almost 6 hours! It’s totally amazing that people can figure this sort of thing out! This is cause for celebration.
To commemorate this wonderful day that messes with people’s reality and perception of time and space, we’re going to play with magnets. Magnets can help you organize your life, you can make a modular calendar for your fridge and add or subtract your OWN version of leap year! I’ll break out the foam shapes and the glue and the felt and it’s up to you to make whatever you want!
You’ll get some magnet strips, and you have the option of creating one or two BIG magnets, or cutting the strips and making a bunch of mini magnets! Don’t let stuff fall off your refrigerator ever again, magnetize it! Or make a fake lodestone that leads you to your lover! Or do that thing where you chase one magnet with another one and scootch it all over the table and it looks all supernatural! I don’t know… do what you wanna do, but come do it HERE at CraftNight this week!

The next time leap day falls on a Wednesday CraftNight, we’re going to be a helluva lot older, so come in and play so you can say you were THERE for the history books!

See you at the Craft Table,

Like many a CraftNight craft, this craft is a beady, melty wollup of a good time, and if you are into detail, this is your bag, man. If you’re into color, say no more, just busy yourself gettin’ in here, we’ll be waiting with bells (and crafts) on.
