Winter art

Here are some of Gracelyn's winter creations. I was told by her the other day that she is going to be an ARTIST when she grows up.

Art Museum

Today I got to go on a field trip with Maras class to the Tacoma Art Museum. There were many great glass pieces to see and learn about. The kids got to learn how they blow the glass but then they also got to learn about textures and creating art. After the tour the kids even got an opportunity to create their own masterpieces. I always feel so lucky when I am able to be apart of these special times with my daughter. Mara is so blessed to have such a wonderful class and fantastic teachers!!

Art on the Ave

Sunday was the annual art on the ave. A good portion of 6th ave gets blocked off and it is much like a farmers market. This year being that we have moved the shop we were smack dab in the middle of it. The Wedding Bell had live models in the windows doing mannequin poses and Mara and MacKenzie showed off the new flower girls dresses.What little cuties they were and boy did they draw the crowds!!

Spring Art walk

Thursday night was the first annual spring art walk down at school. The kids performed their songs and versus and then we got to walk around and preview their artwork from the year.

This was a picture of Mara and her best buddies.


It just wouldn't be right if we didn't take a silly one as well!!

What a bunch of clowns!!

My Little Artists

Mara just loves her easel that she received for Christmas. Gracie likes it too but lately she has prefered sitting inside of it to do her work. I am not sure why but I think it has something to do with the fact that she can climb it. This appears to really be her most favorite thing to do!!




Look at the instensity on Maras face as she creates her masterpiece!!

Afternoon Art

Mara decided to do some art up at the counter. Her idea was to design paper bag clothing items. We got out the glue, the feathers, the markers and the stickers and she went to town. Mara loves so much to do art. I think in addition to her being a rockstar and a singer when she grows up that she could be a fashion designer as well!
As Mara worked diligently heartley laid around and watched her hard at work. Rough life being a kitty huh??






As Mara was working on her art her sister had snuck into her room and was playng with her dollhouse. Gracelyn was so proud of what she accomplished while mommy wasn't looking!! Oh what the future holds could be scary with 2 girls!!
