Enjoy Some Winter Crafting Projects!

Craft To-Go: Mantel Magic- For high-style at a fraction of the cost, embellish everyday candles with items retrieved from drawers and cupboards. Clear beads, wisps of metallic embroidery floss, thin gold wire, and snow-like Epsom salts add texture and design. Each bag contains a candle, glue, Epsom salt, charms, and wire to get you started.

Kitchen To-Go: Mulling Spices- Make some delicious mulled apple cider or mulled wine! There are two spice bags included in each kit so you can try both. You could also drop a spice bag in water and add tea bags, or simply drop in hot water to make your home smell lovely!

Craft To-Go- Decorate Your Own Gift Bags- Includes gift bags of different sizes, three colors of paint, paper plates and shaped sponges, tissue paper, raffia, and paint brushes. Your own personalized bags make your gifts even more thoughtful and special!

Available all month, first-come, first-served.

Welcome Winter Activities

We have some wonderful To-Go bags this month to grab and go. If you are putting items on hold, or using no-contact pickup, just let us know which ones you want and we’ll hand them out to you!

While we are not able to offer our traditional programs in the meeting room this fall, we would like to help you gather and create in different ways. And so we have gathered together some online resources for you to help you get inspired, get involved, learn something new, and part of a different kind of community. 

The UMaine Cooperative Extension has put together an awesome lineup of online workshops, with a suggested donation of $5 per session. Can’t make a donation? That’s okay, we’ll make one on your behalf. We will make a donation for any patron who brings in or emails a copy of your program registration.
