The Snowflake Project

Installing The 10,000 Snowflake Project

The Easton community is mounting a community-wide campaign to cut 10,000 paper snowflakes and paint the town white! The goal is to fill all the windows of Northampton and Third Streets (both occupied and vacant) with these symbols of community spirit by January 22nd. Hand cut snowflakes of all shapes and sizes will showcase our wonderful businesses AND highlight the available properties awaiting potential businesses. The best part about the program is that the entire community is getting involved and working together to help build our downtown.

We've actually already surged past our goal and are at 18,000 snowflakes and still counting. Here are a few pics of some vacant property windows I helped install today. I can't wait to see the entire downtown covered in snowflakes!

Vogue Knitting in the New Year

Happy New Year! Wow! I can't believe how fast November and December flew by. Life has been great but super busy lately, and I'm afraid I've fallen behind with the blog. I have lots to post, and hope to get everything caught up in the next few days (pics from Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, the new exhibit...).

In the meantime, I wanted to post a few pics (click to see them larger) of one of our note cards of a hand-drawn ball of yarn (by the masterful Ron Morris, of course) that's featured in the Winter 2010 Vogue Knitting magazine among several "note cards for knitters". It's beyond cool, and we're so excited!!
