Our monday morning art project was a custom cardboard outhouse for my potty training guy. There's a half moon on the door, a cup of markers inside if he wants to linger and a stack of books outside the window for me to read if he gets lonely. Keep it up kiddo.

Aren't these sweet ! Just bought them at the summer craftacular in our town. These were made by the very talented glitter workshop gal .
They're tiles with decoupaged images from storybooks on them. Of course I couldn't resist the Max coaster and the Gnome mama reminded me of someone.
My son is a drummer, the neighbors know this, my daycare provider knows this, even my dog knows this, YET it has taken me at least 2 months before it sunk in with me. So, in an effort to understand and empower my little tito puente, I found a few simple wooden spoons at the thrift shop.
My thought was to make a few sets of "boomers" or "drumming sticks" as he calls them. So after naps, we added some paint and after a drying period of about 10 minutes he started whacking away. I hope I saved at least a few kitchen utensils in the process
as usual my art projects last about...... five minutes before all interest is lost. He did get a load of paint on them. Good Job Felix !
whew, it's like trying to harness a wild horse sometimes. At least he drums on the porch or outside.
A rare moment. Thinking about blogging, man o man, how do you all do it? Where do you find the time?? To take stellr photo's, do projects with your kids, look beautiful AND post it all? I may not be cut out for this.
A studio is a work in progress, I know I know. But here's my latest attempt. I tried to have a workspace for every outlet I have, painting, collecting, printmaking, framing, drawing and sewing. Centered is a my wooden table that I just inherited. I hope that in any spare moments, or on the way to the laundry room, I can prep, paint or sew something.

I was terrified, I've wanted to sew clothes for myself for such a long time and I finally did it. Thanks to lots of support, I took my time and actually finished my shirt on time to take it on vacation. Whoa.
