It’s always so exciting to be able to help celebrate a special birthday in the studio! Today was a fantastic day. The birthday girl, her sister, and 10 of her friends celebrated by making fun stuffed owls. Each one is unique and made with care. So fun to assist these wonderful girls create something so special.

Plan your next party at Let’s Go Crafting. Parties for kids and adults!

Aren’t these owls amazing! These were all made by 6-8 year old children!

These are the machines where all the magic happens!!

Lots of pinning, stuffing and creative goodness happening here!

Our first camp of summer is in full swing and we are having a blast!!!  We already have lots of finished projects:

Pajama Pants – love those little hedgehogs!!

Bracelets, Scrunchies and Head Bands!

Pillows with applique are really popular. The pillow with the hedgehog applique….those are actually pockets!

We also have weaving and crochet happening in camp.  Students really do get to choose their form of fiber art!

And lots and lots of creativity! I can’t wait for camp to start today to see what these students will come up with!

Class on Monday was super fun and full of creative energy!

Our beading/jewelry making station is still seeing lots of action!  I love what these students are making!

Isn’t this narwhal amazing?!  I love that creative eye!

We are weaving up a storm.  This scarf is almost finished!  It will come off the loom next Monday.

The studio is always  a hive of creative energy.  Everyone choosing their own projects and bringing them to life!  For me, there is no better job to have or place to be!

We had a fantastic first week back in the studio after winter break!

We had lots of finished projects!!

And continued to work on longer term projects.
