Paper Crafting Workshop Spring 2011

Today was the third of four paper crafting classes held at the Seekonk Public Library. Children made a small book folding paper in a zig zag fashion and then gluing to cardstock (matted on cardboard) which we cut out using the Big Shot die cut gadget. Some children made journals, others drew pictures or cropped photos for a tiny photo journal.

Last week we made Spring Bunny Favors...so cute!
For the fourth class (4/30) children will create cards, books, and gift boxes. I'm sure Mother's Day cards will be popular!

Don't forget...May 7th is May Madness at the Library...a spring sale of books, plants, and crafts. Support your local library.

Trip to Bead Cache

I don't usually like to spend sunny days indoors, but the wind made it a little too chilly for my taste. So off to the Bead Cache in Mansfield, MA. They are moving by the way. Sometime in May if all goes well. It will be a space improvement as well as new class and service offerings.

I finally finished wrapping a stone that I purchased at Seven Arrows. I really like the copper colored cord they have at Bead Cache. I must have been in round disk mode because I made two pairs of earring using round beads. The orange colored beads are coral with small black accent beads attached to copper chain. The blue/pink beads are made from Sculpey clay, coated with glaze and I added a 3mm Swarovski bicone.

I still haven't gotten the lense needed to take closeups.

Oh Deer ~ February 10, 2011

 I got a phone call from my neighbor Bev early Thursday morning. She sounded excited telling me that there were deer traipsing through our neighborhood. Grabbing my camera, I quickly snapped a few photos...sad that I had to go off to work. I would have liked to watch them for a while...so beautiful!

Three of seven deer peer from the shrubbery in Jim's backyard.

Now where do we go? Doesn't look like anyone will feed us here.

Yay...Greenfield Street is finally passable!
