Whew!

Well here we are already February.

The studio is nearly empty yet the new one is not quite ready. Guess where everything is. Yes, one of my garage bays. Thank goodness it is a tandem bay.



Much more has been packed in here since this photo. I tried to pack in an organized manner. As I'm sure you know, that only works for the first 75%.
So look at this photo and know that I have NO IDEA what is in 25% of those boxes.
:)

So. it's no secret that we are moving to 3231 Creatives at 3231 Broadway in Everett.

We will be primarily a workshop space and still have open crafting time on the schedule. Workshops will be Thursday - Saturday and Wednesdays will be Appointment Only and private groups.

Third Saturdays will of course be: Art Walk!

The online stores are slowly but surely ramping up to handle 80% of the retail business.

Watch for our announcements to come via FaceBook, this Blog and our Networking site!

Guess what we're doing!?!?!?!?!?

Halloween Decoration Art Party!

During the Day!

Tuesday the 26th if you want to join in, 10am at the Studio

We will meet at the Studio and move on to Goodwill Outlet to find ourselves pieces to remake with paint, paper, cobwebs & whatever other scariness we can come up with. I'll have the truck and can carry 4 additional persons and haul "stuff".

You are welcome to take your own car to the Everett Goodwill Outlet if you prefer. If you need to come a little later, meet us at the Outlet on Casino Rd, just off Airport Road.

Low key, no participation fee, bring your own lunch and any creepy stuff you want to add to your decorations.

I will set up space outside if you want to spray paint. (you will need to bring your own spray paint) I'll also have the sewing machine set up (for banners or ? and some basic power tools; drill, chop saw, bench grinder.

** You will need to buy your own things at Goodwill Outlet. For those that haven't been there, everything is sold by the pound. My last trip I came out with two giant bags of wooden things and doll heads and it only cost $11 ***

Donations accepted but not required

You can RSVP on the website or meet-up or just plain show up!

another New Adventure!

Black Door Studio has launched a new etsy store.

5 Dollar Studio

It's a mix of vintage, supplies, kits and handmade goodies but best of all, EVERYTHING is $5 each.
Each item is packaged for gifting or you can keep it and treat yourself!


Here are just a few of the offerings:


Most items will also be available at the studio while supplies last.

Almost open!!!

So, I order these chairs. 8 of them to be exact.


The website says shipped from Texas within 2 days, UPS ground. Yay! I order them on the 20th knowing UPS ground can take as long as 7-10 days. Here I sit, (on my other chair) holding my breath. 12 business days is tomorrow, Tuesday, and I have my 1st group gathering at the studio on Wednesday evening. "What about your fatally optimistic attitude?" you ask.

Well, I would have faith and chant my "It'll be fine" mantra like I usually do...

BUT:
When I called the company to get my UPS tracking number the non-english-speaking Texan gave me another number to call. That led me to a slightly-english-speaking Texan who told me he would call me back with tracking info. Never did. I persisted with another email, (the previous unanswered email was 4 business days BEFORE the phone call) and was given a tracking number. As I was putting in the tracking number on the UPS website, imagine my surprise to find out that the number they gave me to track my package was MY ORIGINAL TRANSACTION NUMBER and not a tracking number at all!

SO:
Ladies of WCW, I have 4 tall chairs if I bring my tall chair from home. Some of us may get to stand :)

It will be fun!
