handmade holiday workshop at the barn


It's time for another workshop at the barn! I get so excited about making presents, wrapping them artfully, and spreading good cheer. Seemed like a class was in order to share my how to's. The focus will be on creating inexpensive, simple gifts... many with materials already on hand: in your recycling bin or maybe your back yard. There will be lots of demonstrations, time for crafting along side old and new friends, inspiration for gifts for all ages.

Imagine the smell of baking cookies and mulled cider... festive music in the background. All of this at the beautiful red barn! Oh, it's going to be such fun! I'd love to meet some of my local readers, so I'm letting you in on this first. Next week I'll begin promoting at my near by stomping grounds. E-mail me directly to sign up and/or get more details.

*****************************
I wonder how many of you will be up with me tonight as I finish my son's Halloween costume... putting the final touches on your own costumes? How I love that it's on Saturday this year! Have a wonderful weekend.

    Hi Maya - where are you located exactly? I'd love to come but not sure if you are a drivable distance away or not! :)
