Spent yesterday afternoon crafting with my daughter. Never tried skull painting before. Hers was a goat and mine, a deer. Both found in the woods. (No idea how a random goat got there.)

Welp, I ended up having people reading at my crafting days and crafting at my silent Book Club, so I am just combining them. Fridays are Books and Coffee Crafternoons at the library.

Trying my hand at neurographic art today. It's sort of like my understanding of zen doodling - to get out of your head and relax. I'm teaching the idea tomorrow at the library. Wish me luck! 😃
