Tried knitting, but hated it? Went to a sale at Michaels and lost your mind buying stuff? Do you wonder what on earth you’re going to do with all the craft supplies taking over your house?

All your unused craft supplies can find new life at a Supply Swap at Sew Crafty (in the Heights) on Sunday, April 11, 2010. Bring the stuff you’re ready to unload, then “shop” from everyone else’s discards. Leftovers will be donated to a local nonprofit called It’s Cool 2 Care, which provides neighborhood kids and teens with materials to make craft projects to benefit local charities like Friends for Life and Trees for Houston!
