New Floor Paint...

The new floor color, a couple shades darker
than the walls. It still needs another coat or
two to keep the old orange color from showing thru
on the scuffed spots.

It is so mellow and calming, I love it!!

May Class Schedule...

Hooked Scissor Keeper
Wednesday, May 7th at 3pm
Bring 12" hoop - $28
(We decided to do this class in reds, blues or greens.  It is sort of multi colored
 and mixing them is so creative and fun. Everyone has their favorite color,
please let me know which color range you prefer when you sign up so
I can have enough strips cut for you to choose from)
Flower Basket Applique Mat
Wednesday, May 14th at 3pm
Bring scissors - $22
(Ok, this is another class that we decided to change up a bit.
We had another mat we were thinking of featuring this month
which has a similar but more autumn design, so what the heck
we decided to offer both at the same time. Just let us know which one you prefer
so we have enough made up ahead of time.)
(This is the other choice Flower Mat)

Needle Felted Spring Robin
Wednesday, May 21st at 3pm
$18
(This one is pretty cute and just about life size)
Needle Punched Button Keeper
Wednesday, May 28th at 3pm
Bring 7" hoop and needle punch if you have them - $15
(Good for keeping track of odds and ends or a wonderful gift)
All classes include a light supper.
Please call 218-744-5673 for more details 
or to sign up...
...we look forward to seeing you!

A new look...

The last week saw a lot of changes at the shop. 
Barb closed her tea shop and moved on to a new job 
so we have a whole new look.
A work in progress...
 a new coat of paint 
and the next project will be a new floor color, 
hopefully this weekend. 
It is all very exciting!

A spur of the moment...

Today we had a spur of the moment felting fun afternoon,
 and sheep and polar bears were on our list.
Working on a sheep,
a super job for the first time felting!!

Another first, the first polar bear,
and so lifelike!!

A wonderful way to spend a snowy afternoon,
friends and felting!!

Rug Hooking in Soudan


Saturday was a wonderful day, the forecasted snow/rain went south of us and we had a fun day hooking. New projects were started, new colors experimented with and we had a wonderful demonstration of toothbrush weaving. Who would think you could weave with a toothbrush?? We maybe have a couple new hookers, anyway everyone had a good time. Thank you CoZ Sisters for your hospitality and wonderful bright comfy room to get together. We appreciate all your help with our event.

Looking forward...

I am so looking forward to this weekend up in Soudan! Getting together with friends to enjoy a relaxing break, meeting new people, rug hooking, eating, visiting, and more rug hooking...

Today was a quiet day and I spent some quality time with my dye pan, even though I have a good idea how the dyes will take, it is still always a bit of a surprise. Here are some of my creations...

I can just see this hooked up into fall leaves or trees!

Some leaves, trees and flowers

And this one... I'm not sure,
way bright for my taste, but we'll see.
Maybe it will go back into the dye pan to
be toned down a bit.
