You can not imagine how much fun we had last weekend. We had just unpacked the store and were open to welcome customers Tuesday morning.

Thursday night Caela Conn Tyler came to teach 3 days of exceptional classes for us. Oh the fun! Friday we had a wonderful lecture/spontaneous painted canvas embellishment class and then Saturday and Sunday we stitched Piazza San Marco.

Piazza is a gorgeous piece and so much fun to stitch. Caela has worked out all the details. All we had to do was relax and follow along on the journey. We did have to count but no one seemed to mind. We were entranced with the project. If you have the chance to take Piazza San Marco do so, you will love the project and the class.

Caela is a truly gracious teacher willing to share her talents and skills. We’ve already invited her back!

You can see our new classroom in these photos. The space is quite comfortable. Plenty of room for everyone!

One of the new additions to the classroom is this large poster of our Bee. I’m asking each of the teachers to autograph it when they come to visit. It will be a great reminder of all the years of fun, learning and friendship we are going to have in this space.

I can’t wait to watch it all unfold!
