In the Ellwood Park neighborhood, we transformed a resident's living room. The project included updating outdated electrical wiring to meet code requirements, installing a brand-new ceiling, and refreshing the space with a fresh coat of paint.

There's a brand new obsession for knitters, weavers, and fiber crafters: The Local Stitch just opened in Fells Point! Stop in Wed-Sat to check out their gorgeous yarn and embroidery thread (they even botanically hand dye their own!), notions and supplies for weaving and needle art. They offer workshops that include fabric dying, clothes mending and embellishment, plus various skill-building and project-based sessions. We're already hooked! (It's crochet humor, get it?)
