Notes From Ava
Ah, summer!!
It's funny, when I was a kid I loved summer. Going to the pool several times a week, riding my bicycle, playing softball with the “gang” until our parents yelled “Bedtime...NOW!”. The heat didn't bother me then... I've gotten wimpy now.
Summer is a perfect time to do projects with the kids. Tear up an old sheet. Lay it flat on the ground outside and let the neighborhood pals use poster paints with their hands and feet to make a design. As long as the fabric doesn't get wet, the paint will last. Let the kids run through the sprinkler to clean up!
Have a safe, enjoyable summer!
Remember, Happy Crafting!

Crafting For Our Community
The Sevier County Humane Society is asking for donations of knitted and crocheted blankets for the animals. The need to be approximately 20” x 20” and done out of acrylic yarn. You can drop them off at the shop if you want. I'll see that they get to the right person. The blankets go home with the animals when they are adopted so the need is ongoing.
