My kid made a string art whaleshark at the senior overnight party! (He looked at the provided templates and decided to create his own.❤️)

I did the heavy lifting behind the arts and crafts room, wanting to create a chill space for creativity so kids could relax after, or instead of, activities including swimming or skating.

Available activities included string art, bracelet bar, coloring, origami, and temporary tattoo bar.

There were lots of memorable moments, but I wasn’t gonna make it weird by taking pictures at the senior party.

Thanks to local wood-reclaiming company for having great-quality lumber that I could repurpose for the string art bases! Thanks to Beau and Lachlan for the cutting and staining, respectively.

This girl enjoyed her senior party so much, she’s  chaperoning for her son’s tonight!

This felt will be used to embellish a jean jacket. Just the back? Who knows. Let’s see where the design phase takes us.

Ten years ago, the world lost a creative genius. I’m grateful that I got to process this incredible loss in Minneapolis. I bought the purple-est flowers and left them near his star, and returned that night to mourn and celebrate on the streets outside First Avenue.

Drove past Paisley Park the next day and saw media trucks. Went back later to tie art to the chain link fence outside.

My husband had tickets for Bob Mould in April, so we got to celebrate/dance/cry in the Main Room days later.

Ireland trip snapshots. Had a lovely trip to Connemara and Dublin over spring break. Saw some castles, ate all the seafood, drank cider and Guinness, and got to hang with my family.

Got that out of my system. Might make another one next year. 😅

It’s March and I’m missing my Alt Summit friends! Had a look through the Flickr albums from last year and these made me smile.

Laura, Lisa and I have an uncanny talent for unintentionally coordinating outfits. 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
