It was a rainy day so Zoe and I took advantage and felted some dolls. It was nice to spend some quiet time together creating our pieces of art.  She is growing so fast and I realized as we sat side by side that these moments of togetherness are precious.  I hope your rainy day was just as special.

Wet Felting

Join this workshop for some artistic fun.  Wet felting is the process of taking raw wool, hot water, soap and friction to make beautiful pieces of art.  In this workshop we will wall hangings, small blankets or play mats for children.  It will be fun and inspirational.  The great thing about wet felting is that no artistic skill is required and every art piece is beautiful!

Join this workshop for some felting fun.  Learn how to use a felting needle and raw wool to make beautiful toys. In this workshop we will take 2 hours to learn how to make soft balls for your children.  Leave feeling inspired with a technique to make felted fruits, vegetables and animals.  Share with other women as we create works of art.
Children are welcome to participate or play.  Supplies and light snack will be provided. Contact me Annie Bananie to let me know of your attendance.  Happy Spring to you!

Signs of Spring

The sun shines upon our faces, we feel it's warmth on our skin. The Earth wakens with new growth.   Stirrings of abundance is upon us.  Light is feeding dark and we are relishing every moment.   

 

A verse for you!

 Here is a little verse that we have started saying before our lunch time ritual.

Two little feet go tap, tap, tap

Two little hands go clap,clap, clap

A quiet little leap from my chair

Two little arms reach high in the air!

Two little feet go jump, jump, jump

Two little fists go thump, thump, thump

Then we all put on a a golden crown

And last of all sit  quietly down

Today Naomi, Zoe and I  gathered to clean and organize our space.  Jeremy a friend volunteered his time to help out.  The basement is now organized (thanks Jeremy :) and the side entrance is free of clutter.  The baseboards and walls are gleaming. Working together we got inspired by the space we work in.  

Not only do we have spring fever but we are getting ready for our open house. March 27 will be the big day where we open our doors to families who are interested in checking out our space and programs for kids.  It's from 10:00 - 13:00 if  you feel like dropping by.   I have to say that I work with 2 really amazing women and I love my life!

Mrs. Thaw is here :)

Spring is still 2 weeks away but in my heart it is here.  The vibe around here has been festive and fun.  We've been spending much more time outside observing the works of Mrs. Thaw as she sweeps away the snow.  Rubber boots is the footwear of choice and puddles and mud are what we like to explore.  Every spring I feel like a new woman ready to tackle my dreams! I hope you are feeling the same!
