Getting Artsty/Craftsy

This week we had an Art Time class...
at first the table was set all nice and Easterish...with an example of the Charm Tree that we were going to make...
my little laughing bunny....there was a year when these were all the rage!
then I started adding all the things we would need...
there must always be snacks...
we needed tulle (in my opinion you can never have too much tulle)...
there were plenty of pots to choose from...

twine and trim...sticks and fabric...and it is beginning to look like crafting will be done here!


Everyone got to work...


and with just the right amount of fun and silliness...some beautiful things were made!


Our Charm Trees were planted in their pots and adorned with flowers and a few tiny bugs (made out of shells of course!).
One of the things I love about doing Art Time is that as everyone works you can see their idea of the project emerge...
we had an all yellow tree where the flowers were attached right to the tree...
and a lovely green and white tree where some were attached and some were hanging...
accented by it's precious little container.
New friends were made (another one of the things I love)...

Mom's and kiddos crafted together...
as I demonstrated here and there.
The table became my favorite kind of chaos...
and a good time was had by all !!!!!!!!

You must come and join us next time!
