May can feel like the new December. There is a lot of hustle and bustle. Take a little time for yourself this Saturday morning at Cannon Valley Makers. I have a collection of lovely basalt rocks from the North Shore and we'll be decorating them using the soothing lines of Zentangle. Come create from 9-noon on Saturday May 8. Tours available, too!

Cannon Valley Makers' Miniatures Painting Meetup is cancelled today as I am sick with a sinus infection. I am very sorry, I hoped to be feeling better to at least set up and then stay out of the way, but it's just not going to happen.

There will therefore not be a Mini painting group this month. The next one will be Sunday June 7th. Again, my sincerest apologies.

Happy May! There is a May Day tradition of secretly giving neighbors baskets with flowers on the first of May. Inspired by that, we'll be making kindness clips at Cannon Valley Makers this Saturday. Make a handful then clip one onto someone's backpack or jacket -- or surprise a stranger by clipping it to something when you're out and about. It's sure to bring a smile and the hope is the recipient will pass it along to someone else. Come and make! Saturday 9-noon at Cannon Valley Makers. Tours are available, too!

Dear spoon carvers,
Everyone is invited to a special “Show and Tell” Spoon Club event on Thursday, April 23 at 7-8:30. Bring along one or more spoons you (or a friend) have carved to inspire others. Don’t worry if its not “perfect”, we all learn from each other and encourage each other to keep on carving! It’s fun to see first spoons as well as those that follow.

Feel free to bring along a friend, and/or some treats to share and we’ll make this a festive celebration of our collective work!

Yours in carving,
Karl, Sam, Dave and Eric

It's a two-fer this morning. 1) Super fast muffin paper flowers that you can string on a garland, wear on a hat, turn into a pin, stick on a pipe cleaner or just enjoy. 2) Prixel Printing - which is Lego Printing 2.0. Both create deeply satisfying results with very little time or skill. Perfect! I'll be here at Cannon Vallely Makers from 9-noon. Swing by and make (or get a tour.) Free and open to all. Check us out next week at Northfield's Earth Day celebration.
