doodlepuffy take over!

Last night we celebrated the launch of the doodlepuffy website, and filled the shop with doodlepuffy scupltures, a huge painted installation, and all kinds of items hand made by Devon Gifford. I am so proud to feature these works this month, and to have so many of Devon’s creations hanging out here in the shop.

The kids at Crafternoons this week were totally inspired as they watched Devon install her show. Take a look at their 3-6 year old interpretations of doodlepuffies, and do go to the website! Seriously, go there.

Rocking with the Little Folk

Collage Collage was a part of the Little Folks area at the 33rd Annual Vancouver Folk Fest this past weekend. It was a wonderful, sunny day – we made banjos, guitars, moustaches on a stick and the coolest friendship bracelets. Seeing everyone walking around with their banjos and guitars on straps was pretty great, and we got to listen to some amazing music all day long. Nice work Little Folks!

CRAFTERNOON Balloons!

We’ve finished our first week of CRAFTERNOONS! We made hot air balloons, learned about a few different artists and had a delightful week. I thought I’d share how awesome the balloons turned out with all of you.

lmnop is awesome

One week of CRAFTERNOONS are nearly finished, and having summer camp programs running now that the heat has finally arrived truly makes it feel like summer. Watch for the next post to see the awesome hot air balloons we made this week.

Collage Collage has had some lovely press lately that I’d like to share with you first here at lmnop and again here, at Vancouver is Awesome. Thanks lmnop! Thanks Vancouver is Awesome! we’re feeling really good about ourselves around here lately.
