Many thanks to Carla Luke, a Georgia art teacher, who gave us permission to use her idea for our Littlest Witch painting yesterday. The kids loved it! They are so ready for Trick or Treat time!

Look at the beautiful sunflowers at sunset that we painted at The Studio last night. Gorgeous. Everyone did amazing work! Such a nice evening. Thanks everyone.

Crocheting is a terrific hobby to develop. I learned as a young child from my grandmother who was patient enough to teach a curious young girl. And I’m glad she was because I have made hundreds of items over the years. It is something I can do for a few minutes in between doing other things or I can sit for hours and crochet. That is the beauty of it. You can pick it up and put it down without any preparation or clean-up. And you can take most of it anywhere to do. Stick it in a bag and crochet while in a waiting room or on a long car ride. I LOVE IT!
If it’s time for you to learn then be sure to come to The Studio on Friday, October 18th and get in on the fun. We will learn to make an infinity scarf. Click here for more information and to register.

Glad to be back at The Studio after a few days away. The kids did a great job this week with their scary Ravens…getting ready for Halloween. Lincoln is not so sure about them. LOL!

Yesterday morning, before my sister has to leave to go home to Georgia (she came up to take care of Lincoln so I could go on my trip to Cape Cod for the art workshop), she gave me and my friend Ruth a lesson in bread making. She makes a ton of it where she lives as people are always requesting it for family events and fundraising. It’s a marvelous cinnamon-raisin bread. We even tried a variation using apples….and it turned out great too! It was fun to do something a little different from creating art…the only problem is that you can’t just eat one slice. Before you know it a half of a loaf is gone. Oops!
