So crafty!

More and more, Kenzie is interested in things she can do with her hands -- projects like crochet, knitting, drawing, sewing, baking..... and the latest is weaving.  We bought her a rigid heddle loom for Christmas, and she is absolutely having a blast with it.  Learning how to warp the loom the first time was a bit of a challenge, but she's now able to do it on her own (except when extra hands are needed to provide tension).  Here are pictures from her first project:









She did a great job, didn't she?  And she just completed a much smaller second project yesterday.  She found on YouTube that there are tons of videos that show how to make different types of weaving patterns, so she decided to make a sampler!  This kid's got a lot of creativity, that's for sure!

Art Can Give You The Creeps

......especially when it's a whole row of little red fire ant statues!! These are "crawling" over the baggage claim area in the Atlanta airport, and boy, did it give us a momentary startle at first! This is an interesting new form of "public art"!!
