January Class Schedule and Update



Hi sorry for the extreme delay in making and posting class projects for January. On December 6th my husband of 19 years was diagnosed with Non- Hodskins Lymphoma. Needless to say it has been a crazy month with tons of doctors appointments and the start of chemo last week. We will beat this, we just need to re group and remember no matter how busy we are to stop and enjoy family first. I finally got some time to craft so here you go.

Sorry for the delay in posting, back to school & back to dance makes for a busy couple of weeks. When you come into the store next please notice on the front wall of the store we have project samples as well.

Also unless you are taking the class please do not take photo's of my work for you to figure out how to make it on your own. I am sorry if this sounds harsh, but I spend alot of my time and my money to bring you these projects and teaching these classes is how I make my living to help support my family.

My 2 Newest Crochet Wreaths


I am having alot of fun making these. The wreath is made by single crocheting a narrow scarf and wrapping it around a 12" foam wreath. The owl pattern came from http://mojimojidesign.com/nesting-rainbow-owls/ and the turkey pattern from http://www.petalstopicots.com/2013/11/thanksgiving-turkey-crochet-pattern/

May/June Class Schedule


First.......Thank you to all for standing by me this year with schedule changes and my wacky schedule in general.
Starting June 1 we go back to 10-1 and 2:30-5:30 classes. I will be adding back in some new cricut classes as well. The cricut classes will be for those who use all cricut machines except for the cricut explore. We can not operate the explore in the classroom as we have not internet access available in the building. Through the summer we will also have 1 day a month that is a project make up day. Recent projects you have missed are able to be taught on that day. You do need to sign up ahead of time for these make up days and also contact me via email atleast 48hours ahead so I can bring the files and supplies I need to help you with your project.
