It is snowing again with a little wintery mix and, well, all I can say is, it’s pretty. The sun sets a bit later in the day and on 39 degree days I forget to put a coat on. I am dreaming of seeds and dirt and making plans that will rely on warmer weather and no snow on the ground. There will be changes here at Blue Skye, as Erin and I make future plans. Meanwhile, Sunday will be our last Beyond Beginner watercolor painting class. I am so proud of my students and how they have embraced this medium. I have been experimenting with using dyed broomcorn in my broom making and I love it. Stay tuned for future classes and fun stuff! Be well, Kay
Well, The cold has returned! We are enjoying cozy nights by the woodstove and I am thinking about baking and making holiday plans. We’ll be making a batch of fire cider this week in hopes of keeping winter illnesses at bay. The shop is stocked for holiday shoppers and I am putting together a calendar of winter class offerings. I hope to see you all out and about soon! Be well, Kay
Mid Summer! I picked the first tomatoes from my garden yesterday, there are so many plants with blossoms and I will have to keep my eye on the cucumbers. Those little tiny mini cukes will be behemoths in no time. The bees swarmed but we miraculously caught them. We have honey this year to sell along with our usual fare and we hope to have soap at some point. 90 degree and very humid weather is not the ideal for soap making, but we’ll try our best. Please check out the classes that we are hosting and consider coming to learn a new craft. Be well, Kay
We look forward to all that you have to bring. For now, we will be content with cozy fires and brisk walks. Join us at the shop for a class or two about essential oils, making baskets, tying brooms, soul collage or painting with watercolors. We hope to see you, with best wishes for the season! Be well, Kay and Erin
Autumn has arrived with a warm colorful first week of October. Erin and I are getting ready for our Fall craft fairs. We are spending more time at the shop too. We have been offering Aromatherapy classes and there is interest in a broom making class. The date and location for the class is yet to be determined, though we are looking at the last Sunday in October. We hope that you are able to get out and about to enjoy the Fall colors and all that the season has to offer. Be well! Kay
