New look for the classroom

I've been busy re-arranging the store... again. I've moved all the beads and beading supplies into the classroom. I've removed the door to the classroom and cut a window between the classroom and my workshop. I've also replace all the standard lightbulbs in the classroom with florecent lightbulbs. The lighting is much nicer now. You'll have to come check it out.



I'll be teaching a beading class this afternoon while my children here. It should be interesting. This trial will let me know if I need to get a sitter during classes or not. I hope they don't disrupt anything too much.

I will also be starting a Tuesday Beading Buzz group. Beaders of all levels are welcome to come work on thier beading projects (or other crafts) and socalize with other crafters. You are welcome to bring snacks and beverages. There are also plenty of outlets if you prefer to work with a task light. I hope to see you soon!

Mmmm, cookie!

Here's a pic of the kids enjoying a cookie from Highland Hollow Emporium. They make great cookies and lots of other fun treats.

First craft show of the season.

I have just finished recovering from a craft show in Medford. I thought it went well, but most of the vendors that have been there before said the fall show is much better. So far for the season, I've signed up for the Cheese Curd Festival in Ellsworth (June 24th and 25th) and the Syttende Mia Celebration in Woodville (May 20th). I'll also be open extra hours during Elmwood's UFO Day's festival. I'm hoping to be in at least two shows a month for the entire summer. It will be busy, but I enjoy it so much that it's worth all the bustle.

New Floral Arrangements

My aunt brought several beautiful floral arrangements on Saturday. Some are in glass, and some are in baskets. Some are large, some are small. They are all georgous. You'll have to stop by to see them for yourself!

I also have a bunch of great Easter items... plush bunnies, candles, rubber ducks dressed in Easter costumes, Easter bear ornaments, charm bracelet kits, candy necklace kits, Easter stamper sets... lots of great gifts to put in Easter baskets instead of (or in addition to) candy!
