Easely Amused

September 5, 2009---Anna Catherine's goal for the summer was to read at least one book a day (on ability level). If she did, she received a sticker on her "goal chart". Once the chart was filled she was rewarded with the day out of her choice. She opted for Easely Amused which is an art studio offering step-by-step art lessons to both adults and children. I pulled up their website http://www.easelyamused.com/ and let her choose the class she wanted..."Rudolph"

Waiting patiently for instructions

Working oh so carefully to do what Mrs. Bridgette says...

Anna Catherine absolutely LOVED her morning spent at Easely Amused. She has asked to go back and create more beautiful works of art. She is currently working hard to fill her behavior chart with stickers in order to earn another Saturday morning at Easely Amused.

Easely Amused offers adult classes on Tuesday and Thursday nights and all ages classes on Saturday mornings. They currently have a studio in Ridgeland and another in Flowood but are opening branches in Hattiesburg and Tupelo soon. They offer a large variety of classes. Below are some pictures taken of paintings done in previous classes.







I can definitely see a much needed girls night out happening at Easely Amused!! Go to their website, http://www.easelyamused.com/ , to see pictures taken during previous classes. It looks like sooooo much fun!!!

The Mosaic Shop

August 29, 2009---Anna Catherine was invited to her best friend's birthday party at The Mosaic Shop. They both really like to do crafts and had attended a birthday party here in May. This is becoming a favorite place for these two girls.

They worked really hard on their jewelry boxes.

The Mosaic Shop is open five days a week to anyone who wants try their hand at the art of mosaic tiles. They offer many wooden cutouts and terra cota planters to work with or you can bring in your own pieces.

If you don't have time to finish the project, you are allowed to leave it and come back and finish another day. There are two walls filled of partially completed artwork.

There are beautiful pieces hanging around the shop on display and some that are for sale. Here are a few of my favorites...
