Hello craft fans, and happy spring!Mary Breen, Owner
Starting April 1, Wise Daughters is pleased to be hosting a 6 part series of interactive home design talks presented by Wo-Built, a local women-owned construction/design company. Perfect for new home owners or anyone contemplating improvements to their living space.
You can come make a sock monkey April 8, conquer your fear of drawing April 18, and get in touch with your inner diva April 26. There really is something for everyone next month! Plus the weekly Sit 'n' Stitch of course - come for great conversation and a chance to finish those projects languishing in your closet.
There are just 2 spots remaining in this Saturday's felt moose trophy
workshop... call quick! We'll keep a waiting list and offer this workshop
again soon. Look for an article about the shop and needle felt artist Wendo Van Essen this week at www.blogto.com.
