Hi Reader, I hope you are having a fab week! Today I am sharing some super exciting news!!!!! La Creative Mama Gift Making Workshop 2024 is launching this weekend - WOHOOO!!!! I am so excited!!!! So, since the season of giving is upon us... what could be more heartfelt than a gift created with your own hands, made with mindful energy and filled with love vibrations!!! This weekend, we're unveiling something truly special at La Creative Mama: our Gift Making Workshop "Holiday Hues", an invitation to dive into the amazing world of handmade sustainable crafts. We will be working with onion skins as our chosen dye to create a variety of colors on wools and silks (which makes it super easy for everyone since onion skins are available everywhere in the world no matter what season you are in). What's Inside?
Ready to embrace the joy of eco-friendly gift-making? Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional looking to expand your skills, this workshop is the perfect way to add a touch of sustainability and creativity to your holiday season. More info coming SOON! 🌻New Segment in our newsletter We have been receiving so many emails and DMs in our instagram channel asking for more info about equipment and materials in general that David (my lovely husband and head of customer Success here at La Creative Mama) has come up with a great idea! Every week we will share a couple of picks for products and materials that people are asking us about...so this week we are starting with these hot picks! Please use these links as information...so, if you are in the lookout for whatever we are sharing and the price is right for you it's a great opportunity for you to go ahead and get your item, but you can also check out our recommended products and try to source it at a local second hand store in the case of the stainless steel pots or see if a friend has something similar that you can borrow for a while. We will only share brands and items that we are using ourselves and that we think could be great for you too! 🌺Picks of the week for sewists and natural dyers ✅My favorite fabric scissors (I have been using mine for 15 years) ✅My best pick for a good quality stainless steel pot 20 quart (for big quantities) ✅My best pick for a good quality stainless steel pot 8 quart (for smaller quantities) Please reach out should you have any questions about the upcoming Gift Making Workshop or any of these items we are sharing above!
