They are very kind. friendly and so knowledgeable easy to talk to. I believe I spoke with both sister (Laurel and Jess) on the day I went. Ok with that being said, let's start, this is a must shop to visit (it has everything you can think off) each room is filled with beautiful yarns, large selection of knitting needles, crochet hooks, notions and accessories. They have so many finish samples to get your brain flowing with great new ideas. My eyes were going in every direction in the most wonderful way. It felt homey and warm, they also have a table/room to teach you knitting, crochet, nedle felting, weavers and so much more. Prefect for a person who wants to learn about yarn craft and of course for us veterans as they have unique yarns I have not seen and prices are reasonable and true to the yarn brand. If you are not able to visit the store, they have a great website https://www.thespeckledsheep.com. PS if you go, do leave the family at home/hotel, because you will need time to enjoy it! I wanted to stay longer, but my boys (teens) kept coming in to get me out, lol. There is free parking in the back, you just need to walk a small hill to go in the front entrance. They also carry other beautiful items handmade by the locals.

Since I "liked" their page I've been meaning to check them out. It took me awhile but finally got there last Friday night for a book reading/crafting event for kids for $5 I knew a little about the business and what they offered from Facebook but didn't really understand the concept till I was there. You can craft here a number of ways. On their walls they have tons of completed projects that can be customized just for you. Mainly the trendy graphic signs and such. For a fee they provide all the supplies, crafting space, and additional materials (glues, etc) as well as instruction. For graphic signs you pick from their enormous supply of specialty papers and they'll cut out the design on their circuit machine, provide instruction than you complete the project. You can customize the print, size, font, papers, and the backboard. You *may* even be able to bring your own design to them to see if it's something they can do. The crafting space is spacious and cozy - the perfect space to connect with friends and socialize while you craft. An added bonus is they do the clean up! While the projects on display are not for sale they are priced so you know how much it will cost to make. While I did feel the prices were the same or higher than buying the project premade from Etsy (for example) the experience and girls night out would make up for it. In addition to crafting on your own they offer workshops for specific projects ranging from graphic signs to string art - both for adults and children. The event we attended was a few days before Christmas. The children were encouraged to come in their jammies to hear a Christmas story, drink hot cocoa, than craft a wooden ornament. All for only $5! Our girls loved the experience and as grandparents we enjoyed that the painting, glue, and mess wasn't in our house! We'll definitely be back to craft some more.

I think most important of all, it's really a positive and supportive environment, academically intense but not competitive in an unhealthy way.

So when my coworkers planned a private party event at Board and Brush, the thought initially made me cringe. Board and Brush is a DIY workshop that teaches you how to make custom wood signs that you can use for décor pieces around your home. At $68 a project, I was hoping I wasn't going to be just wasting my money on a terrible looking piece of "art". I was SO wrong! This place was an absolute blast and I could not have had more fun. Our private party consisted of 16 people. The facility is BYOB and BYO snacks/food, which was awesome. They had tables set up for our food/drinks, to keep it out of the way while we worked. Weeks before our scheduled date, we picked our projects online and paid. There were SO many options, it was overwhelming! They all looked so cute too - it was hard to pick just one. They have everything from clocks to front porch welcome signs, entryway signs, trays, and height rulers for children. I settled on a 3 piece framed set for our home office. We were able to pay online as well, which was nice to not have to worry about the day of. Tawni is the store manager at this location. She is absolutely wonderful! She explained everything so clearly, and made our evening so much fun. There were also 2 other ladies with Tawni helping her throughout the night. Having 3 people walking around to help was really wonderful. At times, I think we all had questions, and there was always someone readily available to help. The shorthand version of what happens at Board and Brush is this: once you arrive and settle in, your "projects" are brought out to you (which at this point is just a blank piece of wood). You are in charge of sanding the wood, distressing the wood, staining the wood, applying your stencil, and finally painting. It sounds overwhelming, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Like I said, everything was explained so well and it is all done in steps. The entire experience from start to finish took 3 hours, and at the end I was left with an adorable piece of decor that I will be proud to hang in my my house! I cannot wait to book another reservation with my friends to do this again! I highly recommend checking out Board and Brush!

Remember that paint and sip fad that swept the nation a few years ago? This is like that but way…read morecooler. Instead of a painting that inevitably finds its way into the trash, you are left with a cool piece of art on wood that looks like it took way more skill than I possess to make. This store is located right on Fruitville Pike in Lancaster near the shoppes at belmont. When you register for the class you pick one of many designs they have to choose from. They have lots of really cool projects like clocks, monograms, holiday decor, etc. Every step of the project making process from sanding, screwing, staining, stenciling, and painting is facilitated by a lovely and knowledgeable staff member. Tawni helped our table and she certainly had her work cut out for her but she was fabulous and very helpful! Oh, and lest I forget, sipping is encouraged to facilitate the creative process as well. Imagine going to a bar with your friends but you get bring a custom wood sign home instead of giving the bar all your money with nothing to show for it! You are afforded a fun day out and a lovely piece of artwork to show for it. Board and Brush Lancaster was a blast and I will definitely be back!
