have you noticed I'm not so good at daily blogging?  I'm not good at many things, but that's often a major downfall for online projects.  So Thursday the 10th...

well that was a sort of lame craft time, but thank you Billy for coming!  Billy came to join us with the hopes of making music from found items around the OCP...cool idea right, well everyone was busy getting ready for the local foods guy talk so it wasn't very creative friendly atmosphere.  We had fun...I had to go home and create something to make up for it.

Winter's bringing me down...I always get a little sad in winter time and I'm feeling the winter blues.  Spring come quickly....please.  But that's unrelated... or is it?  mood often effects creations... 

Yesterday, Mario helped us make origami.  We tried to make origami roses for Valentines day and that got a little complicated...then we made beating hearts, swans, and butterflies.  Thanks Mario!  It was a fun day.

Tuesday.  (in case you're wondering why I didn't create at the OCP...Monday's and Tuesday's I babysit so I'm left to create on my own).  I created more paper beads... I need a lot.  I also worked on the sweater I'm knitting, but I didn't finish.

Upcoming creation days at the OCP:  Today, we are making origami!  Thursday, Billy will be helping us make music from found objects at the OCP...bring your dancing shoes!  and I'm still trying to decide what we'll create Friday... I feel like painting if I can get some paint by then...perhaps a sculpture garden from found objects?

Monday:

A day that is painfully hard at times to get yourself going that is.  I created paper beads for a necklace that I'm working on and I wrote this:   
The sound the scissors
made cutting the fabric
reminded me 
of my childhood.

inspired by Abby from church.

Superbowl Sunday.  I tried to create some paper chains that turned out alright.  I then created my own touchdown dance which I was too embarrassed to share... is it creating if nobody experiences it but you??

Saturday!  Wonderful wonderful Saturday!

I created two meals for my wonderful husband...that doesn't always happen.  I also tried my had at flash writing which is something a dear friend introduced me too.  It's where you try and tell a story with only one sentence.  very hard.  My best effort became this:  She left him in the night.  Not a happy story.  There's always hope for reconciliation so never fear.

sorry this post is so delayed.  No excuses to be made only creations, so I'll catch you up to speed on what we've been creating.

Friday was kite making day with Mario and it was fun!  My kite was more decorative than functional, but I did test it out in the parking lot and it awoke in me childhood days of chasing fireflies and dancing in the yard for the sake of dancing.  Pure bliss.
