puppet love


We're creating the best 
bunch of puppets EVER!  
We measured, cut, snipped and glued 
hair, hairdo's and faces today. 
 Oooooo, 
how I love puppets 
at the studio. 
It's like having a whole 
new batch of friends, 
paper mache style.

PAINTED PAPER PENNANTS


WHAT?! do you do with a table cover that has been saturated with paints for weeks? 
MAKE a garland for the studio, of course.


                             WE set up the round table as a watercolor station last session.
 Classes, workshops and parties painted, detailed, 
and decorated art work, gifts, cards, tags, sculptures. 
I'm talking endless projects. 
I wanted to see what the result would be if we didn't change the paper.  
The richness grew as it was splattered, painted and a tad glittered. 
It had a worn texture to it.
 It was an old friend.


Get yourself some color here.

keep it coming

Nutscene Garden Twine

My mom gave
me this great garden twine.
She's  given me larger spools 
(in a handy can) which I've used in and around the garden throughout the season. There was something about this colorful row of tiddlers I could not share with my tomatoes.
Today, I made a great hand scrub and wrapped it up tight.
Love.

Us and Them


Take in each moment and 
 truly watch them, feel them, 
think like them, 
smell them,
laugh with them,
listen to them,
learn from them.
Enjoy every spec of them.
And when you think
you've had your fill,
do it again.
And again.


I wrote this post last January.
 Hearts are aching. 
Give your children 
YOURSELF today.
