Happy New Year! Looks like I've been neglecting our blog...sorry! Hope your holidays were happy. I'm writing this as we are getting more snow. It's only the beginning of winter and I'm sick of the snow already! Winters in Chicago are no fun. But it's the perfect time to stay inside working on a beading project!

As you know, our winter store hours are now in effect. This is an experiment and I would love some feedback. January and February are normally slow months for us. And with the Paulina el stop still under construction, I thought it might save us a bit to be closed a few days a week during these months. But...if we hear that enough of you would like us to be back open Mondays and Tuesdays, we will do that. Just please let us know. We don't want to lose you because we're closed on these days!

Our January and February class schedule is now online. We have some fun new classes this session. We're introducing some beginner metalsmithing classes for those of you who want to take your jewelry making to the next level. Resin is still hot! These classes fill up fast, so sign up early to guarantee a spot in class.

Bead Therapy nights start this Wednesday, Jan. 14 from 6 to 8 pm. Bring a project or start a new one. We'll be here to offer you help and advice. It's a great way to meet new people and keep busy during these cold, snowy months.



Hope to see you soon!

Charlene
