I just took some new pictures of my shop. The Grand Opening is today. I’m so out of the way that I don’t expect that many people. Mostly I want people who love to felt to know about my shop. I’ve already met some really cool people. Go to http://blogtheblacksheep.wordpress.com to see more about the shop.

Been Really Busy

Okay, I have the perfect excuse for not posting anything in such a long time: I quit my job at the Art Institute, bought a house with room for a store and studio, and moved into my new house. I’ve been preparing the studio for a classroom to teach in, and preparing the store. For the classroom I ripped up the old rug and put down those peel and stick tiles; I built two 8′x4′ tables for my students (and me) to use;

One of the 8' Tables

I painted one of the closet doors with chalkboard paint, and the other door I covered with cork for a bulletin board.

In the store I painted furniture and walls, put up shelves,

and put in a new outside door.

My new door, not quite finished yet

I’ve started a new blog just for the business, which is called “The Black Sheep”. Soon you’ll be able to see all my progress on that blog: http://blogtheblacksheep.wordpress.com/

I watched a sheep being stripped of her wool coat. I think she enjoyed getting the heavy wool off her back. Rate this:

New Hampshire Sheep & Wool Festival 2011

We went to the festival on Saturday. I was in fiber heaven! I purchased some Merino batt and I’m anxious to try it. There was so much to see, and so many vendors to visit. I learned a few things about wool, and felting, and I think I found a good source for good Merino batt.
