that old chectnut...

It's damned hard coming up with project ideas when you're not in the least inspired. We've all been there: deadlines,brief to meet and....nothing. Nada. Not a spark. Then out of the blue...they come in thick and fast! For November me and the Craft Guerrilla gals decide to have our Craft Events as a "Count Down to Xmas"kinda thing. This is OK but that means I need to come up with at least 4 or 5 new seasonal craft projects. BUT it's all in hand and I've come up with a few little offerings that might be a hit:
An embroidery diy craft pack ( A robin tray cloth), an autumn badge pack (a kawaii chestnut) and a few more I'm keeping under my hat. We wouldn't want to give the game away and ruin the element of surprise either!
So if you'd like to make your own gifts and pick up a craft skill on the way check out our events page:

part of something good!

Hooray the Craft Guerrilla is growing into something quite spectacular. We've been inundated with requests from other creative people that love the idea and want to set up their own army. I can tell you that come JUNE...we'll be in another UK city! Watch this space.
It's all about sharing and linking up to a wider community and making it something that evolves and grows which promotes each and every individual in our community. I'm so excited by the prospect and I honestly admire all the great people that have made this possible. With out them it would be no more then a great idea that lived in a note book in a forgotten drawer.
After a brief sabbatical Munano will be back in May at the Craft Guerrilla Summer Markets at Beautiful Interiors. Lots of new characters to come!

craft guerrilla's first birthday!

It's official CRAFT GUERRILLA is one year old! This time last year it seemed to be an almost forgotten dream and it almost didn't come to life! Three years in the planning ,last March 2008 our little craft group started off as an answer to getting to grips with the world and it's unhealthy appetite with mass produced items and the waste it generates. Wow how things are a changing! We're happy that every one's woken up and joined us on this exciting and creative endeavour! We started off by holding craft markets but things have a funny way of coming together and evolving into even bigger and better projects. Because of the markets we've met many talented people and because of them things like the D.I.Y. craft nights have come to light and become the success they are today.
Join us for a celebration of what we hope will be the first of many more!
The first 50 people through the door will get a goody bag...all you early birds get a special crafty treat!
As usual we'll have some fun and easy craft projects,guest DJ's, vintage board games and impromptu workshops. This edition Lisa Margreet will be holding a "make do and mend" session. Bring along those slightly tatty knitted items and she'll show you how to darn them back into life! Now is no time for chucking things out and because we're all feeling the pinch we're still not charging an entry fee! However there is a small charge per craft pack but you get a project and hopefully some new skill you can use in future. So weather you want to learn something new or brush up on a forgotten skill we hope you can join us!
Also don't forget to bring your GUILTY PLEASURES.Your love to hate/hate to love records! The fab DJ duo Handsome Twins will spin them for you and you wont have to own up to it!
All crafters welcome. Bring your own projects and if we can help you let us know.
See you all soon.
