good morning-
I am feeling very relaxed today. The rain we are enjoying here in Raleigh, NC is just the thing to calm me down, plus the fact that we are out of caffeinated coffee and I am drinking decaf is also helping with that. This week is looking like a good week to spend some time at the work table. I have about 10,000 unfinished projects that I could wrap up, plus a new acorn pendant from Loriola that needs to be made into something...how about you? Bring your unfinished projects in this week and join me at our work table, I'll save you a seat!
See you soon-
Cynthia
Happening this week:
Join us this week for
KidsWork Wednesday. Bring your 5-12 year old in for a project or two every Wednesday and you can enjoy a few peaceful moments watching your child create something new while you get a few minutes to finish up something you've been working on. Every Wednesday from 2:00-5:00, all projects $2.
Join us on Thursday night at Ornamentea for
Technique Thursday. This week you'll make the Brass Swing earrings and learn to create smooth arched components using a ring mandrel.
Friday is
Breakfast & Beads. Join us for some early-morning craft time at our work table. We'll have coffee, tea and breakfast treats ready to go for you. Your seat is waiting...
Friday is also time for Studio Fridays. The talented Ndidi is there to help you with all your metal smithing conundrums. I am often there making a new class sample or playing with a new tool. It's fun! Please call to pre-register at 919-834-6260.
Kathy King classes at Ornamentea
We are so proud to host Kathy King for a weekend of special classes here in our store May 22nd and 23rd. Kathy is a member of the Carolina Designer Craftsmen and her revolutionary bead quilling technique is one of the only really original things to come out in the seed bead world in years. Her fab book,
Bead Quilled Jewelry has been a sellout success at our shop and on-line. Kathy will be teaching at Bead&Button in Milwaukee in June but you can take two of her classes here this month.Click on the class images for more information.
