Stephanie has been working with Vitae to put on a Craft Night the first Friday of the month. If you’re interested in having a special beverage, bring it! Craft Night will be kind of like an open house type thing, no need to be there right at 6 pm, because somebody will be there from 6-8 to teach you whatever the craft is!
Scheduled Crafts:
- October – Cuff from sewing trims, lace, and ribbons
- November – Decorated Clothespin Magnets
- December – Paper Garland
A Facebook event will be made under the Des Moines Swap-O-Rama-Rama fan page, so check it out to see pics of what will be made. And if you aren’t already a fan, become a fan to get up to the minute info on what DSM SORR is doing!

Blue Planet Green Living helped us out tremendously by writing an article about our event. Check it out here!
BPGL posts green living ideas, humanitarian stories, interviews, product reviews, tips, book reviews, social action, eco-friendly beauty products, eco-travel ideas, and more! They inspire positive action through stories about people and businesses working to protect the world we share.
BPGL is thinking about starting a SORR in Iowa City, so if any of you Iowa City crafters are wanting one, you should offer to help them out!
We are looking forward to working together more on SORR 2011!
