The Canada Eve Party put on by the Library & Depot Museum is quite the tradition in the Blue Mountains! The Community Centre was busy all night with children’s workshops. Children came by my table to learn how to make small willow trivets, fish & star wands.
I also volunteered at the L.E. Shore Library in August to teach how to weave little garden gnomes. We made little garden gnomes using willow, dogwood, bark and wool. Children, parents & grandparents all had fun crafting together!
At the Clarksburg Children’s Festival in June, kids learned to make willow fish and magic star wands. A busy fun day for all!
Athe artisan market on the weekend. I’ve made my own signs and shirt using a Kijiji Cricut maker! While at the market I completed a harvest basket of Dogwood and stripped willow.
Crafty pals enjoying the morning together making a spiral weave willow basket starting from a wood base. This project can be done in 2 hours and I love how each one turns out differently using the same technique!
