Important things in life:

Many people try to fit in too much into their lives. I am guilty of that at times. One thing must never be sacrificed in all that busyness....that is relationships. Relationships to God, our spouses, and our children. God designed us for relationship with Him and designed the family as a hands on example of that love and relationship.

art for kids

:0
Today is my first blog posting!!!
I plan to offer kids art classes once a month at the pottery studio on our farm.
This month classes will start during spring break.
The cost of the art workshop is $35 for the whole day or $10 per class. Be sure to bring a sack lunch. Drinks are provided.
Class will be Tuesday, march 24th from 9 am to 2:45 pm
I want to start a quilt block per month. Then when we get enough squares, we will put them together. Children need to bring 2-3 pieces of old clothing to cut up for their squares that will help them remember their childhood.
This is the schedule for the day:
9-10:30- quilt block creation (heirloom traditional art)
10:30-1200-weaving around a candle votive or rock (beautiful gift project)
1200-1230- lunch
12:30-1:30- wire bending for earrings or ceiling fan pull (beautiful bead accents)
1:30-2:45- pottery at the wheel (only six students allowed for this)
Boys and girls are allowed for these classes.
There are several upcoming art contests in the community just for kids. The kids could show their art at these shows and maybe win prizes. I will let you know soon.
xoxo, Desiree
