NEW Yarn in Stores Now!

The holidays may be over, but the cold weather isn't. There's still plenty of time to knit a little something for those with a January or February birthday. Try this new yarn from Lion Brand called Amazing. Mimicking the look of an expensive, hand-dyed yarn, the subtle patterns and shades that emerge as you work are truly Amazing. It has a soft, brushed texture and a lightweight construction that is warm, without being heavy, making it ideal for garments and accessories.

Holiday Goodie Bags!

Here is a quick little idea for a holiday goodie bag. If you mass produced these you could have them by the front door and ready to give when friends stop by. This way you'll have a little something on hand for the unexpected visitor. Fill them with candy, homemade treats or add some shredded paper and place a small gift inside. So easy to make!

1. Seal any size envelope and trim off one of the short ends.
2. Measure and cover envelope with your favorite designer paper.
3. Punch several stars randomly;cover clothespin with paper and attach star and button with yarn, hemp or thread.
4. Put clear treat bag or baggie inside to hold gift or treats, fold down top and attach stamped tag with clothespin.

Perfect for your kid's holiday parties at school, or any time of the year - the possibilities are endless.

Quick & Easy Last Minute Gift Idea

Heidi from our web team whipped up this super cute scarf (shown on Allison) for a local fundraiser and we just had to share.

Supplies Needed:
1/4 yard of fleece (cut to 7" wide)
Ruler, tape scissors or rotary cutter
Pony beads

Instructions:
Cut fringe up 4" from ends and 1/4" wide.
Thread 3 or more pony beads onto each piece
of fringe using a toothpick to push fleece thru.
Tie a knot near the end of each piece.

It's that easy. Great gift idea for kids too!

Another Great Weekend With Author Theresa Pulido

Theresa Pulido, professional crafter and author of Hook, Loop & Lock, responds to her time with us in both Rocklin and Citrus Heights over this past weekend.


Theresa Pulido writes:

"I had a great time doing my locker hook book signing and demonstration in the Rocklin and Citrus Heights stores this past Saturday. I was able to set up a display with a variety of samples and demonstrate locker hooking techniques--including how to make holiday ornaments. I received such a warm welcome from the customers, they were excited to watch and asked lots of great questions. The stores offered my book at a special price and they had fabric discount coupons for the customers too.
We also gave away a "Hook, Loop & Lock" starter kit at each store that includes all of the tools and materials to make a locker hooked trivet with a ceramic tile.
Mother Nature cooperated and the store lights were on this time. In the Santa Rosa store the prior Saturday we had a power outage due to a big storm and I was pleasantly surprised to see so many nice people still showing up to make purchases and see my demonstration.
Please join me this Saturday at the Soquel store from 11am-1pm and then Monterey from 3-5pm. I look forward to seeing you there!"

We look forward to seeing you there too, Theresa :) Thanks so much for everything!

Angel Project Gets Off to a Fast Start

Dress Up .....

Kids love to play dress up, and this is a perfect time to start collecting things for a "dress up" box". We've created this box using June Bug paper, paint and chipboard letters. You may also want to include other jewelry items, pretend make-up and of course a pair of fancy shoes. Also a great idea for a Christmas gift (never too early to be thinking about Christmas!)

Dress Up Your Home For Halloween!

Beverly's has a great selection of Halloween Home Decor. Make it scary or cute...... we've got it all.

Halloween Fabric and Patterns

Time to get started on those Halloween costumes, October 31 will be here soon enough. So come into Beverly's for some fabulous Halloween print fabrics and patterns:


Beverly's has all Simplicity patterns at 50%OFF!*

*Not available in some stores. Excludes SewEasy.

Here's a couple of costumes made by Dana in our Soquel store a couple of years ago to give you some inspiration:








We'd love to see your creative creations, so leave us a comment and share!

New Papercrafting Product at Beverlys!

Beverly's is now carrying the Cling Rubber™ Stamps from Stampendous. Cling Rubber™ stamps are the same premium quality, precision trimmed rubber stamps as their traditional woodmounted version. They've simply removed the wood and added a piece of cling vinyl to the adhesive side of the foam mount. This allows your rubber image to be used with an acrylic handle mount just like their Perfectly Clear™ Stamps.






Also, new from stampendous..... Velvet Class a'peels Stickers and Perfectly Clear Stamps.

Getting Ready for Halloween!

Since Halloween is just a little over a month away we thought we would have a little Halloween fun all week long. Each day we are going to tell you about something new in the store, give you some inspiration or who knows what, to help you get those Halloween projects started.

To get things started we want you to check out two new Halloween projects:

Halloween Candy Box
This is an easy little project is not just for candy, but could be a gift box for jewelry.


Halloween Characters Canning Jars
These would be fun to make with your kids at home, in the classroom at school, girl scouts or any group that's looking for some craft fun. We filled ours with candy corn, but the possiblities are endless.

For more halloween ideas, check out all of our Halloween projects here.

September's In-Store Sales!

Our September Circular is available to view here. Check it out for great savings this month.

Have you been waiting to get your hands on the Slice from Making Memories? NOW is the time to go for it. Beverly's has it for just $119.97 and the Slice design cards are 30% off.

Re-purpose Your Storage Boxes

While everyone knows these clear storage boxes are great for scrapbook paper, we wanted to share a couple of other uses for them. Sometimes it's more fun to organize rather than actually make a project. Sound familiar?

For ribbon storage, cut 3 pieces of foam board 13" long x 3" wide to fit in the box and divided it into rows. You can adhere it at the edges with clear packing tape. Poster board could also work. Keep the ribbon on their original spools, or create new ones by cutting 3"x3" pieces of matte board (could use heavy poster board or foam board) and wrapping shorter pieces of ribbon around it and secured with a rubber band.

Also, a great way to store your fat quarters. Organize by color, and make it easy to get to!

We would love to hear your favorite use of these storage containers. Leave a comment to share your idea(s). Fall is just around the corner - it's a good time to get organized!!

Wednesday's In-Store Special!

Plaid Iron-Ons! 25%OFF!

Beverly's has these adorable Iron-Ons from Plaid on sale this month ..... hip designs with a hand-sewn look! A super easy way to jazz up and customize your tees, hoodies, tanks and so much more. Here's just a small selection of all the cute designs we have, come in to see them all.
