Spotty Internet.

Please forgive me I have been having some troubles with internet this week… Making it quite impossible to keep up to date on my posts and work!

Here are a few things I have to tell you….

First… there are only two spaces left in our first Mini Summer Camp session…

Week One- Summer Night Camp

July 10-13th from 5:00-6:00 PM (All ages welcome)
For four days in July, your child will create beautiful creations based on the theme A SUMMER NIGHT. Each Child will create a night sky painting complete with glowing stars, a terrarium for a collection of fireflies, a special pillowcase and their very own up-cycled book.

Email or call me if you would like me to hold you a spot. You may also check our Calendar of Events Page for more options.

Second

Here are some photos from our Needle Felting- Cats workshop yesterday…

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

I usually try not to take every single workshop but I couldn’t help it because I just love Rachel Gerowe’s Classes and I love kitties. I didn’t take many photos because I was focusing on making my cat, Bunny.

This is her.

Please let me know if you would like to sign up for an upcoming Needle Felting Workshops…

Third… Lets see… Oh… Yes… There is still time to get to The Golden Button to paint your Father a gift for Father’s Day…

Make an “I love you more than__________” Painting.  There is no age limit but we ask that you wear old clothes or smocks. We will be using acrylic paint, which will stain clothes.  You do not need to call ahead for this activity but you can if you want.

The cost is $12 for a 8×10 canvas board and all the supplies. We will be using a canvas board so that you may frame your artwork if you would like. On the following dates you may come to The Golden Button to make your paintings…

Wednesday, June 13th anytime between 2-5:30 Pm

Friday June 15th anytime between 2-5:30 PM

Then this weekend is…

Mini Terrarium or Garden Design- a gift for Dad!! 

You may come to create a mini terrarium or mini garden. We will have containers and everything you will need to create a home for your plant.

This would be a fun activity to do with your father!!!

Last…

Some of you may know that I work as a teacher in the mornings… I would like you to know that at the end of this month I will no longer be teaching in the mornings. I will have arts workshops available at The Golden Button and I will be using the extra time to focus on growing my little shop. I would like to thank all of you who have supported me and my shop and helped The Golden Button grow!
