Changes

 Fall officially begins on Tuesday and I am ready. Ready for some change! Fresh air. Rain. Wind. No fires. Fall colors. Creativity bursting as our days get quieter and we spend the evenings at home making things. Feeling inspired. Beginning fall projects that can even turn into holiday gifts.

This is my favorite time of the year. The days have cooled off and now I can hold larger crochet and knitting projects on my lap and not feel as if I am in a sauna! I can turn the oven on and make pies with all the leftover summer fruits. In a few days, I will trim back and put my garden to bed for the winter. There is only a small project or two left to finish. Evenings will find me in front of netflix in the house, working on new drawings or needlepointing or in the studio working with beads or in the metal house using the kiln and working in silver. Maybe this is the year I will add a rolling mill to my collection of tools. 

The shop is open 5 days a week and I am your girl on the spot. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 11 to 5, Sundays 12 to 5, and Mondays 11-5. We are closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Appointments might be available then, however, especially if you are coming from a distance. 

Anyhow, more news and updates later. Happy Fall and be well! Shop beads!!

Summer's End

 Here we are already at the last official weekend of summer. The Corn Moon rose in the sky last night as a big glowing light bringing me to the feeling that fall really is just around the corner.

Summer has been busy in the shop and we have been so happy to encourage customers in their pursuit of creativity and craft. As long as the pandemic continues, craft can be a source of comfort and inspiration. We can not teach classes at this time but we can still help you with projects at the shop's counter. 

As we head into the glorious days of fall, our shop hours will remain the same - knock wood. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday from 11:00 to 5:00. Sundays from noon until 4:00. We have curbside delivery available too if you would like to call ahead to order something ( 360-385-6131 ) or you can order from our website for shop pick up at wynwoods.com. Not everything is on line but you can always text a picture to me and I can match up what you need. Call for my cell phone number.

I need to get back out to the studio now and make some jewelry, paint a sign and string some beads. Some days are just a big multi tasking kind of day! I am also going to take a front porch rocking chair knit break.

These are three of my works in progress with our bone face cabochons. I hope to have them finished so I have new brooches to wear on my sweaters this winter. So much fun! 

See you on the block soon! xo Lois
