A grand opening party at Creative Outlet Studios on Saturday and Patchwork indie arts and crafts festival on Sunday – looks like you’re gettin’ your craft on this weekend, southern California!

I met the team behind Creative Outlet Studios at last year’s Craftcation Conference, and I’m so excited that their space is open!! You really need to get over there on Saturday and explore. And then get back here to my blog and leave some comments about how great it is, because over here on the east coast I’m gonna miss out!

A little more about Creative Outlet Studios from their website:

“Creative Outlet Studios is a creative workspace nestled in the equally creative community of Costa Mesa, CA. The studio was borne out of a desire for broader access to quality and unique equipment and support for whatever it is you may want to make or learn.

Whether you are just dipping your feet into this enormous craft community, or are a veteran looking to expand your skills or business, there is a place for you at COS. Take a look at the Studio section for more details on our space and equipment!”

And if that wasn’t enough crafty goodness for you this weekend, get your rear end over to Long Beach for the Patchwork Indie Art and Craft Fair!

If you’ve never been to a Patchwork show, you’ve been missing out! Nicole and Delilah constantly and consistently put together the cream of the crafty crop, and this holiday season’s shows are sure to be a hit. Get a sneak preview of what you’ll find at their Facebook page!
