April 24, 2009 We're excited to bring you a few crafty happenings around Brooklyn! Have an event to share? Let our community know in the Etsy Forums. Not in Brooklyn? Check out the live events all week long in Etsy's Virtual Labs. Free For All 
This week, on Monday, April 27th we're hosting an open Craft Night, as we do on the last Monday of each month. Instead of an organized project, this week we are throwing the doors of the Etsy Labs wide open and letting you work on any project that strikes your fancy. Bring what you'd like to work on during this week's Craft Night, whether it's paper to make a card for Mother's Day (coming up on May 10th!), that half-finished skirt you are sewing with hopes for a warm spring day. Start a brand new project, the sky's the limit! For directions to the Etsy Labs click here. Want to see what other Craft Nights are coming up? Check out the blog post here.
