O W L S

We are heading to the theatre today to see Legend of the Guardians.  We have been eagerly awaiting this film.  It looks great!  We are very fond of owls around here.

I found this fun project to get us into the spirit of the movie.

Gail, that artist woman, has even more fun owl projects if you are in the mood.  Perfect for this time of year, I think.  We'll have a movie review for you tomorrow!

autumn corn necklace

Goose loves autumn corn.  She loves to grind up the kernels in her mortar and pestle. 

She loves to make potions with her magic corn.

I thougtht we could do something a little more decorative with it.

So we soaked the kernels overnight.

Then we used a needle and embroidery floss to string our "beads" into a necklace.

Can you see the garnet, carnelian and amber?

This is definitely an adult supervised project.  And I recomment using a thimble!

I love these necklaces!

autumn afternoon

the afternoon was spent at the dining room table.

i with my tea

and the kids with their brushes,

paint brushes, that is.

while they were creating their masterpieces

i was crocheting!
yep, i'm slowly but surely getting
the hang of it.
what i love more than anything is the relaxed state i fall into while doing it.
sipping tea and listening to goose and binky chat
about friends, snowboarding, and autumn projects was heaven.
there was a peaceful calm in the room that i did not want to end.
it was a blissful afternoon filled with art and love!
