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;

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/
Congratulations Jane on everything!!!! I love the name too! Where is the store and what/when are you teaching?
Thanks Adrienne. The store is in Center Barnstead (up in the route 4 area), sort of. And I’ll be teaching feltmaking: needle felting and wet felting. Scarfs, beads, seamless feltmaking, and more. It’s so nice to hear from you. How is everything?
