The rain held off long enough for us to get crafty at Bubbe's house yesterday.
Typically, 'Crafting Day' has been a once or twice a year get together with my cousin Penny and her daughter Audrey, with guest appearances by assorted other crafty friends and relatives.  Now that we're back and soon to be permanent residents of MA again, we're looking forward to much more frequent artsy (and just plain fun) get togethers.
 While Audrey was not able to attend yesterday's event (to Ebby's extreme disappointment), Penny did arrive bearing delicious homemade granola bars, fruit and oh yes, tons of art supplies.  Bubbe's dear friend, the wonderful Miss Pam, also arrived ready for action with an endless variety of soft drinks, 3 bags of ice, a galvanized tub and oh yes, tons of art supplies.  Ebby did have a friend join her and our own dynamic crafting duo, Will & Cuyler, was also in attendance.
On the docket for projects:  mosaic birdhouses for the kids, wallpaper people for Pen & Pam (my mom made one in a workshop with Anahata at ArtFest this year, see the flickr group here), and beaded butterfly mosaic for Bubbe.  As for yours truly, someone had to take the role of kid art facilitator, supply gatherer, food critic and photographer...  
Of course the kids were the only ones to actually finish any pieces (heck, I didn't even start anything) but that's not the point anyway.  It was a very nice afternoon of art, friendship and inspiration.
And next time, I'm getting my hands dirty ; - )
