Pom Poms on the Street

Thanks to everyone who came out to make crafts with us at Word on the Street this Sunday. We made pom pom characters. Here is a gallery of some of the great pom pom characters from the workshop. We'll be putting up directions on how to make your own pom pom character next weekend as our rainy day project, so check back soon.

Thanks to Chirp magazine for hosting us. We're putting together a story for Chirp's spring issue right now and we'll be sure to post more details about that soon, too.

Pom Pom Dolls

We're making pom pom dolls of Foggy and Old Al from the Windy books today at Word on the Street at the Raise-a-Reader pavilion, 530 West Georgia Street in Vancouver this afternoon at 12:45. This is a workshop for children 4–8.

We'll be putting up pictures and instructions on Monday. In the meantime, here's our first Foggy and Al.

NB: We were going to do a workshop on vehicles originally. If you'd like to make some vehicles out of household objects, please see our earlier post for inspiration.

Wee Wonderfuls

Purl soho just sent out an announcement that the new book from Hillary Lang of Wee Wonderfuls. This is great news if you like to make dolls and if you are a fan of felt!

We are working on some new projects and we will be at Word on the Street to do a craft workshop. We also have a giveaway coming up soon!
