If the wind and rain haven’t squashed your will to get out and do something tonight, why not keep your hands busy with some arts and crafts at Spacecraft (355 Bedford Ave between South 4th and 5th Sts, Williamsburg, Brooklyn; 718-599-2718, spacecraftbrooklyn.com)? From the stain on your jeans to the hole in your hat, you probably have something that needs bedazzling. If not, just get creative. “We had a gentleman come in to make an Obamoctopus,” explains store manager Christine. “He knitted an octopus and the pattern had Obama’s face on it.”
Visitors to Spacecraft’s “Church of Craft” (6-9pm, free) are welcome to bring along any project of their choosing, from quilting to embroidery to drawings with crayons. No one’s there to judge, though you may pick up some pointers on inventive uses of toilet paper. Half of the store’s space is taken up by a long wooden table, around which visitors sit, drink wine and get crafty. Supplies (scissors, needles, rulers, etc.) are provided by the store, but you should either bring your own materials or buy them from Spacecraft’s wide selection.
