CRAFTING MAKERSPACE
GRAND OPENING MARCH 19TH
Starting mid March we will be offering our barn as a crafting makerspace! To start we will have knitting, crochet, and weaving materials like yarn, knitting and crochet needles, and simple weaving boards. We will also have books on those subjects that you can use in house.
If you are looking for a space to work on a project, we have a wonderful space in our barn with plenty of seating! Make yourself at home on the nice big couch and chair, as well as multiple chairs surrounding a large table. Grab a cookie... or two and a coffee from the kitchen, settle in and get crafty.
Oh, and don't forget to bring a friend or two... or five!

AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT
JULES VERNE
Before Jules Verne, the term/genre “SCIENCE FICTION” didn’t exist! This prolific French writer was the first to combine scientific fact with adventure fiction. Originally called “Scientifiction” which later became the term we use today.
​Verne’s works can be divided into three distinct phases. The first, from 1862 to 1886, his positivist period which included much of his more well known titles.
​
"The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides. The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the Living Infinite." -Verne
​
The second phase, from 1886 until his death in 1905, is considered Verne’s pessimist period filled with the dangers of technology wrought by hubris-filled scientists.
The third phase (1905-1919) is when his posthumous works were published—after being substantially revamped—by his son, Michel.
