Just doodling…

​Just doodling on cardboard with a paint brush…Ella ( 11 ) sat and let her creativity flow idly through her fingertips painting the dog she would like to have. She was shedding light on a dream in the most casual way. I bet her dream will come true.

Messy Exploration…

​The big reveal during Messy Toddler Art time today.

Finding their names under layers of paint and glitter were wonders for these little guys to behold.

Ladies Night!

​Loving Linda’s Pinterest inspiration at our Stroller Strides ladies night tonight.In our opinion, having a little creative me time  makes for a happier and more present mama.

Today!

​It’s Homeschool Thursday at CReATE! 

Come and make stuff just for fun or as part of your lesson work.

All Homeschoolers enjoy our   Homeschool rate of $7.00 child- all ages! Let’s CReATE today!

Happiness…

​Sparkly paper plate sunflowers gave us sunny feelings on a cloudy day.

 It’s the simple things that make our days fuller.A little reuse goes a long way.

Creating at home…

​Loving our no-sew t shirt tote! 

This makes reuse idea number 7 for creating at home.

All you need is a tshirt that is ok to cut and a pair of good scissors.

Cut out the neck a little deeper than the neckline then cut off the sleeves and your on your way! Those cuts  become your tote opening and handles! 

Cut fringe in about 3/4″ widths around the whole bottom of the tshirt- vertically. We made ours about 4″tall. Then tie one front fringe to one back fringe all the way across the bottom of the shirt and you’ve got a groovy bag! You can do fancy knotting or add beads or other embellishments to bling it up too.

Now, let’s go shopping!

Staffie!

When a large cardboard frame is donated, the obvious choice is to put it to use for a CReATE staff picture. 

We make a great team ♡

Weekly WOW 

Logan and his mom Donna are a dynamic creative duo who know how to bring beloved animated characters to life, isn’t that  magic! They made a great mama and son pair gathering materials in just the right textures, just the right sizes. They collaborated, shared ideas and work through the snags they encountered and in the end made these two silly characters, Tails and Sonic. Hurray!

​Color wonderland at the Rosebowl flea market.

Getting out into the world on a Sunday is refreshing and inspiring.

Tea Towel Stamping…

​I just LOVED @flygurl_designs tea towel stamping night at CReATE and this collage she posted of some highlights. I wanted to take every towel home.

We will be doing a project night  together again for sure!
