This camp was loads of fun. The kids got to make a bunch of greats crafts. My Accucut was a life saver and so was my new bias maker. I had a blast designing the projects and I think even our token boy enjoyed all the sewing.

Here are some details of what we made:

Paper Flowers

Kiragami Screen Prints

Pouch / Purse - We made these more boyish by adding a loop on the back of some so they could hang it off of a door or hook in the bathroom.

Fusible Appliqué pillow

Recycled Paper, which became cards, balls and book mark

Pincushion / Plushie

I hope I get to teach this class again, it was a ton of work but the results were wonderful. I will work on a proposal for my homeschool moms, they are always asking me to teach art classes.

Georgia Organics

We had our first even purchased at a restaurant Gluten Free, Dairy Free pizza at Pizza Fusion this week.We discovered a great new place to eat all thanks to Georgia Organics and our desire to try our hand at locavorism. A locavore is someone who eats stuff that is grown locally, in season.

So with that thought we are visiting the Marietta Farmers Market most Saturdays and we started a garden. I doubt the garden will do much to sustain us, it is fairly pathetic at this moment. We did not start it early and well I love dirt but I generally work with flowers.

We are somewhat hampered by my lack of desire to cook and by our fairly pervasive food allergies. I am working on the cooking but A's favorite snack flies in from Europe, where apparently they cater a bit more to those who cannot consume gluten.

Thanks God for Georgia Organic Farmers, I know we will eat and we are having a great time canning. There will be jam. I am waiting for the freestone peaches and blueberries.
