The “Ber” Months Are Here!

September is here… where did summer go? I think August was five minutes long… but I’m totally ready for cooler weather and falling leaves, and even fires in the fireplace. There’s just something about fall that feels cozy and inviting. AND it means we’re gearing up for fun fall crafts, seasonal gift making, ornament parties and more! Here’s what’s happening THIS month at Delight Design…

CRAFT/PAINT PARTIES and OTHER EVENTS:

September starts with a bang as we join in the Yorkfest Activities. We’ll be having a Make & Take on Saturday, September 7th, from 11 to 2 pm. Come paint a “Furry Friend” or any of our other paintables. We’ll have the paint out, along with the color markers and pencils, so all ages welcome! Price is $4 each or 3 for $10.

On Sunday, Sept 8th we’ll have a table at the Cultural Festival at the Auditorium. We’ll be showcasing items for our HUGS FOR TOMORROW friends – safari animal earrings, stitch kits, and other African themed designs made both by us and by artisans from Africa. All money from any items sold will go directly to HUGS, to feed and educate kids in Malawi, Africa.

On Tuesday, September 10th, I’m hosting a Wood Embroidery night with the September embroidery project. It’s a two piece pumpkin, with 2 simple wood embroidery stitches. This will be at 6:30 p.m. in the shop, and the price is $18. You can “register” for the event by purchasing the kit HERE. For our non-local friends, I hope you’ll pick up a kit too, and embroider “with” us from afar!

And are you ready for this one? We’re doing our September Paint Party on Saturday, September 21st at 10:30 a.m. This adorable “Highland Cow – Moo…I Mean Boo!” door hanger will be a fun one to paint! You can register for this event by purchasing the kit HERE. Again, this kit is available for shipping too, for all our non-local readers!

And finally, on September 26th, we’ll be part of the York Sip & Stroll from 4 to 8 p.m. You can get tickets at the Chamber office or online. What a fun month this is going to be, and we hope to see you soon!

FALL CRAFTS ARE HERE!

We have been filling up ALL the shelves with all Fall and Holiday kits, and we’re ready for you to visit and craft! Come get a head-start on your fall decor and Christmas gifts!

If you aren’t local, you can still craft “with us” – check out the website for tons of kits! Let us help YOU craft!

GRATITUESDAY – Paint Parties!

I’m a day late, but better late than not! So, it’s GratiWednesday this week!

We had our first acrylic painting Paint Party in the shop last night, thanks to Samantha Jewell. Nine of us painted the Floral Heart Painting last night, and it was SO. MUCH. FUN! Besides all the fun we had, the party raised money for HUGS For Tomorrow, feeding and educating kids in Malawi, Africa.

When I opened the Delight Design shop, one of my main objectives for the Party Room was to fill it with not only lots of crafting, BUT to use it in ways that would glorify God and share His good news. Partnering with Samantha to gather people to paint WHILE raising money to feed kiddos? THE BEST!

Paint Party at Delight Design in York Nebraska

And we are just getting started! This Paint Party is one of THREE we scheduled for the Floral Heart Painting. We filled up the first party in less than a day, so we added a second one. And then a third! And Samantha is already working on the painting for March. The excitement and positive energy filling the shop and the party room is electric, and I’m so incredibly grateful for what God is doing.

Besides paint parties for adults, we are also making plans for paint parties for kids, AND so many other crafting type events. I can’t wait to see what 2024 brings, and we’re off to a great start.

Now, if you missed last night’s party, do not worry! You can still join us! There is ONE spot open for tomorrow, Thursday the 8th, and THREE spots open for Tuesday, the 13th. We originally thought we could get eight spots, but when we set up, we were able to make it nine. So, SIGN UP, come join us, laugh and have fun, paint a fun picture, and feed some kids in Africa at the same time!
