Due to the double storm forecast for today and tomorrow, I’d rather play it safe than sorry. The Beader’s Night Scheduled for this evening, Tuesday, February 1st, will be rescheduled to this Thursday, February 3rd. Although the snow prediction for today is light (2-4 inches), the snowfall prediction is from midday through 8-9:00 this evening. The prediction for tomorrow is for a wild, snowy day with snowfalls around 12” here in Central Maine. If that’s the case, I may close early or not open at all. So, call before coming in on Wednesday, or better yet, get what you need today so you can have all of your supplies handy to stay in and bead tomorrow. The storm will cleared out early Thursday according to the meteorologists , so we should be in good shape to meet on Thursday evening. Those of you who have signed up for tonight, please drop a quick line back to me if you can to confirm that you have received this information.
If you are a “Wise Woman” who has been planning on stopping in tomorrow for your card and to take advantage of the discount, I will honor the discount today or Thursday for this week only.
Speaking of the “Wise Woman” arrangement that is starting here at the shop, a customer approached me with a terrific idea. She told me that when she first saw “Wise Women Wednesdays” she thought it was going to be a beading group that got together on Wednesday. Well, why not? It doesn’t have to be just for people 65 and over, it’s for anyone who has the availability to come in during the daytime. No fee, no set hours just come on in, meet and make friends with other beaders and let it evolve naturally. Over time, it could develop into a beading guild of sorts, or just a friendly afternoon of beading shared by likeminded people in a pleasant atmosphere with lovely music and a great view. Let me know what you think or just come on in next Wednesday and stay a while.
We all had a great deal of fun with Odin on Saturday learning the art of Japanese Weaving with the Gradient Pendant. This Saturday, February 5th, Odin is back for more fun with crystals. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the lovely Crystal Heart Bracelet is so easy to learn and fun to make. You’ll be making up dozens of these sweet little hearts to fashion into bracelets, earrings or whatever you can conjure up. String them, connect them with wire, dangle from a chain for a free floating pendant or handbag embellishment. Give one to all of your sweethearts!
Happy Beading,
Linda
