Sweetness.

Sweetness.
Nothing like a handmade token of esteem. Take a few minutes to jot a note of affection for someone you value, love, admire or just needs a kind word. Small acts like this set the world to better balance for all.

We had a full week on instagram with lots of love, a valentine Lioness, a cool crafternoon, sewing kids, lots of pinspiration and sustainable fun @createstudio on instagram

Weekly WOW!

This little lady made these felt finger puppets all by herself she said, her mom only helped a little. That means that at age 5 she came up with the finger puppet idea,  the materials to use, the composition of the puppets and probably was even able to tell mom what to do to make it all happen .
The mind is a beautiful thing.

Plastic Counting Blocks!
These should be lots of fun to work with. Things that are square are super versatile when it comes to exploring creativity.

On the road…

Had a blast at Super Saturday at Oak Park High School today. We got crafty, valentiney and as always, green making stuff from stuff during this fine sustainable event on an  impressive eco campus. It is so nice to be surrounded by innovative thinkers and mindful community memebrs.

Win/Win fun!

Dulce (10) is going for “Most Creative” in her class with her Lioness valentine box. I think she’s got a good chance!
Projects like this where there is a seasonal connection to a project shared in the classroom keeps the spirit of fun in the air for all to enjoy. That’s a Win/Win for sure!

Exploring Machine Sewing

Working on her wild side during our Exploring Sewing class today. The kids were quick learners. Hopefully we’re planting a seed to grow lifelong sewers.

Fuzzy Foam Pieces!
A little wild and wacky, these puzzly pieces are fun to fit together, stack, or rework in a million different ways. Let the fun begin!
