Hello dear readers,
Let the new year be a better one than the year before! War and enmities still prevail here, but life must go on.
I'm filling new racks with cakes, cookies, and candies to sweeten the situation The picture below shows the first model. My friends at the senior day center love the model and from now on we will start working with both sweets and plant racks.
A young girl, who serves a term in doing national service instead of military service at our senior day care center. The girl's name is Adi, the same as my granddaughter's. Adi was supposed to help me paint the racks. I discovered that she is a very talented painter so now she paints little paintings on egg-carton pieces and I make easels for them from coffee stirrers. (I'd love to see Monet and Van Gogh's reactions)
The Hanukka bazaar at the center was a great success. A large quantity of knitted items of clothing, bags, rugs, and toys were sold. For the first time, our plants' wooden racks and easels were displayed. They were all sold out.
As usual, I try to make an impact at work on the importance of recycling. Lovely things can be made from everything around the house.. The sales help the Center purchase materials for giving work and purpose for life to the 200 permanent senior visitors.
Hugs and blessings to you all.
That´s a good help I think! Very fine paintings! Hugs Britt
ReplyDeleteDear Drora, your mini projects look fun and sweet! It is wonderful to have a helper who paints so beautifully in tiny mini scale! It is no wonder they sold at the Fair! I hope you continue to have fun with creating projects with your Seniors, it is so therapeutic to make things! Stay well and pray for peace.
ReplyDeleteDear Drora, your miniature racks/stands look great and you even got help from a new creative soul, her paintings look beautiful: compliments to Adi!
ReplyDeleteYour seniors are so lucky to have you and your creative help for their projects, it's next to therapeutic also much fun, for yourself too, Drora.
Stay safe, dear friend. Hugs,
Ilona
Great project and it must be very rewarding to make miniatures with other people at the centre. Great work from Adi.
