Happy Thursday 

We’d love to spend some creative time with you whether it’s for open ended creating,  school project making or or homeschool fun.

We’re open from 11am-6pm

Happy!

We all need a “Happy Book” filled with antidotes, doodles, words, stickers and other happiness makers.

The Girls Club Girls inspired us today ❤

What makes you happy?

Be Kind

In a world where you can be anything, be Kind.

Hurray! I am so proud of Our Kindness Wall Project; a joint partnership between CReATE STUDIO and Girls Club Strong and maintained by the Dude Be Nice Club at Agoura High School (my two daughters alma mater). 

The wall is ready for positivity and good vibes through campus shares from students, staff and administrators of kind doodles, words and notes. This is what makes me smile!

Global Warming is a thing…

Natural elements are changing all around us as they always have.
In todays world though, the process of change is sped up by the number of people sharing our planet.
We are using more space, building more structures, growing more food, feeding more people and buying more items than ever before so planetary change is coming on strong.
As I think of the quote by sustainability proponent, Annie Leonard, “there is no such thing as away.” I shiver at all the bi-products of our more-ness.
I am not sure what came first for me, reuse or creativity or maybe they walked a tandem line as I noted from a childhood age the potential and intrigue of consumer packaging, what was destined to become post-consumer waste. A wrapper has more to it than just covering this chocolate bar… what could it be? That concept still unfolds for me each day at the studio when I see what creators do with the stuff we have. Looking at packaging and more this way means recycling just makes sense on so many levels. We do it for fun with a creative connection but there is so much more I think about. Our planet and all of it’s inhabitants is what I think about. It’s a real thing to think about, I have children and they may have children…oohh boy.
Today, I keep it simple and focus on what can be reused and recreated to make a happier child, a more curious mind and a more conscious mind.
I am focusing on reuse as a a desire to step in the right direction.

Resourceful.

Cardboard pocket ninjas for imaginers on the go!

Genius

During our Project Sewing Class today Addie made this little “cold buddy”, a friend that is also a kerchief. Her big idea. Genius!

Foxy!

Love this fox eye cover sewn by Jordan during our Project Sewing class today. Inspired by her findings on Pinterest she figured out what to do and how to do it, just by glancing at a photo. So smart!
