workshops/playdates

I have had the good fortune over the last few days to spend my time creatively - with creative types. Gotta love that. On monday I got to share the love of cold connecting with some fine gals who took to it like ducks to water. We made a goodly amount of mess ...

...and ate yummy macarons ...

Oh and and my students left with fantastic handcrafted wearables along with a bunch of new skills. Now that is a good day! Today a young friend came over looking for a distraction from the wait for Uni offers (first round on Thursday!) and looking to craft up a mosaic storm. Again, we managed to make a goodly mess ...

It was very productive and chopping up bits of china is a pretty good distraction ...

We managed to fit in a trip to the op shop - for supplies of course. And here is one of the mosaics my friend made - "Chiller Squirrel"! How much fun is that?!

I have had a really good time and I think if I was Prime Minister (or King of the World), I would issue a decree that everyone had to take one day off from work each week to dedicate to creative pursuits. I think it could work. Really. It would bring us one step closer to world peace. I am sure of it!
