Today, I went to the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens to enjoy their Hatsume festival. There were art vendors, drum performances and other exhibits. The weather was perfect, the grounds were amazing and it made for a wonderful end to my Spring Break. Check out the sites!
Afterwards, we got a little crafty and decided to try our hand at painting! I painted the coy above, inspired by the gardens we had just enjoyed. Fun way to spend an afternoon.
Today I am grateful for my craftyness. I am thankful that both of parents taught me, through example, to experiment and be as creative as possible. From crochet to painting, from decorating to sewing, from jewelry making to photography and cross stitch to quilting… I like to make things… Lots of things. It makes me happy and gives me peace.
In fact… I’m going to go crochet myself an ear warmer right now… G’Night 😉
