A few weeks ago the girls began attending a wonderful art class on Friday afternoons. The Recylced Schoolhouse (red, of course!) and Miss Emily are the things of dreams! Everything about our Friday afternoons is just enchanting! The first day that we arrived for class Miss Emily and her wonderful Polish Hens greeted us on the porch. We had attended the Old Fashioned Noel here in December so the girls were familiar with where we were and remembered meeting Miss Emily back then. Her welcoming spirit and sweet ways made the girls feel comfortable right from the get go. We then went into the schoolhouse to get settled and wait for the rest of the class to arrive. While we were waiting the girls explored and I just soaked in the beauty and magic of this place. Every nook and cranny has something wonderful in it! The vintage feel to this place is just our style and the mellow vibe is totally our speed. She has even set up a cozy area for the parents to read and relax while the girls are in class (should the parents choose to stay that is). Once all the girls have arrived for class, they gather over on the polka dot couch where Miss Emily chats with the girls and then reads a story to go along with the project that they will be working on. And then the creating begins!
Week 1
Week 2
After their snowman project was finished, Miss Emily had the girls gather around the sewing machine. She introduced them to the parts of the sewing machine and explained how it worked. After the tour of the sewing machine was over she began to sew each girls mitten purse (they each got to choose the fabric). The girls were able to help her sew their purses by stepping on the foot peddle. What a fun way to introduce little ones to sewing!
Week 3
Miss Emily has quickly become quite beloved. The girls spend all week looking forward to the arrival of Friday and their time spent with Miss Emily on Meadowbrook Farm. So many wonderful memories have been made already and I know that there are even more to come!
