I hope everyone is having a good work week so far. I know that this week may seem long with all the rain we have been having. But never fear; I have a list of weekend events for you all to look forward to. 

• The first thing I would like to start with is; for all the crafty people out there. If you enjoy making things by hand, The Sill will be excited to have you for their Macrame plant holder class. This Friday, at 5 pm, you can learn how to compose your own Macrame for just $45. You will craft your macrame in this class, get a plant and a new art form all in one evening.
