Getting Crafty

Since the maternal instinct (raging hormones!) kicked in during my pregnancy I have found a love for arts, crafts & all sorts of handmade items. 

My personal attention to creating beautiful things has often been distracted by shop/teaching/home demands - although I have the wonderful talent of changing our home decor all too often.  Give me a can of paint & a paintbrush and you unleash the creative demons within (more on this and upcoming plans for the back shop wall in days to come too!).   But lately I have felt the urge to create something more than just a blank wall as a canvas for one colour.
Today's post is about my own, personal, contribution to our shop.
I have long felt that the centre of the store has needed something grand, spectacular, & eye-catching. 

It would be ideal to hang a giant chandelier that twinkles & sparkles as it illuminates the shop.... however I have recently priced these out and have found that "twinkly" and "sparkly" are attached to words like "expensive" and "extravagant."  For now the following shall suffice...!
In the days to come I will be constructing an installation of a giant, delicate, mobile that will hang from the ceiling and add some colour and interest in said-space. 

The Spring inspires me and I have decided that this just may be the start of a beautiful friendship with some therapeutic arts & crafts projects. 

Stay tuned for the reveal of my project in the upcoming days to come....!
