| goldenbuttonshop

After a short not-so-terrible Winter I finally got the front of The Golden Button shop on its way to looking cuter….

(I took this photo right when I was finished painting so the sign isn’t up. Now I am working on getting some benches and a few pots to plant stuff in.)

 

 

Here is the before photo…

I will be so happy when I have some plants growing in front of the shop.

This week…..

Learning to Make Yarn!

When I was getting ready to open The Golden Button I met Rose Garbien from Bittersweet Ridge Farm. Rose has a bunch of Shetland Sheep and Angora Rabbits. Rose makes her own yarn and her own soap and she knits and felts!!!  I wanted to learn how to make my own yarn for quite a while now…. So Rose agreed to do a Drop Spindle Workshop. Its a two part class where we learn all about different fibers and tools and how to make our own yarn. It was wonderful!


Here is my yarn before I took it off the Drop Spindle… We had soooooo much fun!!!!!

Next week Rose is going to show us her Spinning Wheel!!!!!!!! Can’t wait. Thanks Rose!

Don’t forget we have a Acrylic Painting Workshop… cost is $30 at 4:30 on Wednesday….

Learn to paint still life flowers. Focus on color texture and form.

This Friday afternoon Bradleigh H. is coming to do Open Card Making. She will be offering a different card every Month!

Cost is $10. You may show up anytime between 4:30 and 6:30 pm.
