Beer and Love

It's no secret we Bombshells love to have fun.  We like our social calendar full and we always show our friends a good time when they come to town.  We get to combine a few of our favorite things for a whirlwind few days: beer, crafts, and the fabulous Shawn Bowman of Criminal Crafts fame.  She’s stopping by Cincinnati to promote her newest book, Beer Crafts.  If you’d like to join in on the fun, you can visit us on Saturday August 24th at the Christian Morlein Taproom in OTR for an evening of crafting with all things beer.  (Well, almost all things - bottle caps, beer labels, etc.)  On Monday August 26th, we’ll be at the Contemporary Arts Center for the “One Night, One Craft” with Shawn from 6 pm – 8 pm.  Tickets are $5 for CAC members and $8 for non-members.  We recommend getting your tickets in advance for this event.  It's sure to sell out.  You can purchase them online through the CAC.  After the event we’ll move the fun to Arnold’s (another Bombshell favorite) for what’s sure to be a fantastic after party.  When dedicating your crafts to beer, it’s only prudent to belly up to the bar for research purposes.  Right?  Anyone…? 


Despite our larger than life personas, being a Bombshell isn't all cocktails and good times.  Sometimes our hearts are as big as our blonde hair.  We recently knit an assortment of chemo caps for a dear friend.  Everyone expresses their love and support in different ways.  Some bring food.  Some clean the house.  We knit and crochet.  When we’re truly touched by someone, love flows through our hands and into our creations.  It’s a win-win situation.  We get to honor someone we love, and what girl wouldn't want a fashionable wardrobe of hats?
So come raise a glass with us, visit with Shawn Bowman, and make a few things.  We hope you’ll join us.  A girl shouldn't have to drink or craft alone.

Hugs and Stitches,
