The Bee Bowl by Elle

Happy spring day to you! We live for these seasonal changes in Wisconsin ~ as soon as one season begins to wear heavy on us another one blooms and the renewal begins. How lucky are we?! Despite the forecast for snow on Saturday, we revel in 60 degrees and sunshine today. The blessing is not wasted on this Midwesterner! I want to share this fabulous pottery my kindergartner, Elle, brought home from school this week. The arts are strong at her school which is fortunate as Elle is quite the artist ~ coloring before and after school, cutting, gluing and taping anything she can get her hands on. We have many the over flowing Rubbermaid containers guarding her precious work as she simply cannot part with anything (shhh - don't tell her mommy does some weeding from time to time!) This special project was created with the help of a local pottery store owner who became the Artist in Residence for a month. Each and every child made a "Bee Bowl" with the extra special touch of melted glass at the center. She really outdid the unrecognizable bowl I made as a kindergartner many eons ago... Way to go, Elle!

  2. She's a natural. You will be treasuring that for years.

    That sun really does lift your spirits. Sleeping on sheets that have been hung on the line, makes another cold spell much more manageable.

  3. Adorable Molly! My daughter Sofia sounds like Elle's kindred spirit. We were beading bracelets this morning at 6:45...and she reminded me 3 times to get more scotch tape after I take her to school!
