Litchfield County 4-H UConn Clever Crafters

We had some fun yesterday playing with craft multimedia. I asked the kids to use at least three different types of crafting materials from the wide supply provided. We also made decisions about what we're going to do at the fair and timing for setup etc They had fun counting how many different materials they used after. I think the top number was seven. They did a wonderful job.

Our Club had an amazing time today. Selling tea cup gnomes, key chains and cards at the Whiting Mills LLC Valentine's sipping shop today to support our clubs efforts. All of the gnomes went to good homes. That made us really happy.

We had a fun Crafters meeting this morning. We weren't certain it would happen today when the weather forecast came out. We learned some paper quiling and started making some gnomes we can sell for Valentine's Day. Hoping to be able to donate some items after the sale to local nursing homes.

At the open house the other night we had a fun sort of interactive element to our booth where we invited visitors to "make their mark and join 4-H" - Here is the result. Some chose simple strokes, other smile faces or flowers, some took their time. We will have the crafting club add elements to finish the piece. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Clever Crafters made centerpieces and donated beans for this family dinner last week. Everything came out so nice.

Some final photos of our "Recycled Runway" experience where our members raised $570 for the American Mural Project and the Litchfield County 4-H Foundation. I'm so proud of these members and their efforts to share the good news about 4-H and the work it does throughout the year.
