Lincoln and Charlotte

July 25, 2019 by kellywalkerstudios

Back in May I shared a post about Lincoln and Charlotte. You can see it here. Lincoln loves her and it brightens his day when he gets to see her. Last night she came to art class with her mom and she wanted to paint a portrait of Lincoln. She sketched him and then went to work painting. She captured him beautifully. It’s so much fun to see the two of them together. Super sweet!

Kids Should Learn to Sew

July 22, 2019 by kellywalkerstudios

machine This year for the first time we are offering a “Sewing Camp” for Kids at The Studio on Monday and Tuesday, July 29-30. I learned to sew when I was very young. My grandmothers and mom taught me first and then when I was in school my Home Economics teacher took me to the next level. This is something that I have used my entire life and is a skill that all kids, girls and boys, should learn. Why you might ask? Sewing not only helps you to produce something useful and creative but it teaches other skills too….like math skills, problem solving, self-control, how to focus as well as patience. (That last one I might have missed. LOL) If you have a young person, ages 7+, we have a great two day session planned. Click here to register.

Celebrating Lincoln!

July 18, 2019 by kellywalkerstudios

Today we wish Lincoln a Happy Adoption Day. He has brought lots of smiles and joy to us and those who have gotten to know him. And he has adapted to his new “work” at The Studio with enthusiasm. I recently saw what a friend wrote about his mixed breed dog and loved it….so from now on, because Lincoln is such a funny looking little mixed breed and I get asked a lot what is he mixed with…I will say “PERFECTION”!
