Melody Johnson’s workshop has just complete their first day of class and they are already asking if they will be able to buy some more Wonder-Under. I asked them about the 4 bolts of W-U that Melody brought for them and they all chimed – It’s almost gone! They must be fusing up a storm out in the art studio. I’ve too been busy catching up on all the paperwork, that piled up in our absence while we were in Chicago to promote the fiber art workshops, to spend much time checking on what was going on in the studio but tomorrow I’ll be out there as often as I can.

Lucky for the students, there is more Wonder-Under to be had! We have on-site our own mini fabric shop provided by Log Cabin Fabrics. Log Cabin Fabrics is a fabulous little shop just 30 minutes away in Ravena. Londa, the owner, put together a great little selction of fabric, beads, threads, books, and other goodies. And more is available with just a phone call.

Another new item around the inn are some cross-stitched little “Do Not Disturb” pillows that I made for the interior room doors. I thought they would be a little nicer than the plastic signs I originally made as a temporary measure. I still have to figure out what I’ll do for the rooms that have exterior doors.

Yet, another new sight at the inn is the extension of the fence at the back of the property on one side. We were getting a tremendous amount of trash blowing over on our propery from the mini-mart/gas station that abutts our property in the back. So we asked our handyman to extend the fence all the way back to the property line. Yea! No more trash.

We have started to clean up the underbush around the trees and will start putting in a meandering path through the woods.
