CSPS is looking good after post-flood renovation
Our town needs some yarn whimsy. Three years after a major flood devastated our downtown and some residential areas, things still aren’t back to normal. We’d like to add beauty and handmade art to street fixtures--lamp posts, sign posts, parking meters, etc.--that are merely functional, mass-produced, and--let’s face it--rather ugly. Crocheters and knitters are welcome! Leave a comment, or join our group on Facebook (Yarntagrz)
We salvaged the chair from the CR Habitat for Humanity ReStore (before that, it had served in a GEOLOGY classroom -- yes, gum is stuck under its seat). Then we invited visitors to our table at the Maker Faire to help us embellish it. We added a few finishing touches at the home of Foundrix.
At the Maker Faire, people voted on where we should put it. First stop: the break room of the Cherry Building, in the New Bohemia neighborhood.
