Got some new swag for myself!

05/17/2026

🎨 Today we hosted my daughter's Girl Scout Troop with a really fun woodworking & art craft workshop! 🔨

With the help of my husband at Birch & Blade Woodworking and moi at The ArtCraft Nook, we made these super cute planters! First, the girls sanded their wooden pieces and assembled their planter with a hammer and nails, then they decorated it with paint and fun spring-themed embellishments.

To make things even more interesting, my husband also had the girls use the nail gun, AND cut pieces of wood using his miter saw.

I went to back to a BASE workshop at the Brushwood Center in Lincolnshire and had an absolute BLAST.

The workshop was making a flower bouquet out of felt. TBH, I really wasn't sure what to expect and I thought it would be a little boring, but man, I ended up having so much fun!!

Our instructor taught us pretty cool techniques to make these super cute flowers; it really was awesome to see how it all came together with the little details.

I cannot wait for next month's art workshop, where we will be painting actual umbrellas! AND if you haven't heard, Brushwood CenterBrushwood Center will be going through a huge renovation and will sadly be closed until the end of the year. So next month's art workshop will be the last one in Riverwoods until they reopen. But don't worry, during this time, they will be hosting their workshops at an art center in Highland Park!

🎨 Rae's Atelier de Vie! 🎨

My daughter LOVES art and she's gotten quite good over the past few months 🥰 She had been expressing interest in taking an art class, and after much research and a recommendation from a friend, I came across Rae's Atelier de Vie in Libertyville!

Rae is a wonderful, talented, and patient artist who has now started teaching my daughter and a couple of her friends. She offers many different art mediums as well, such as oil painting, water colors, drawing, and even mixed media-type art like air clay. Really, you can suggest about any type of art you want and she will guide you!

There are set classes already on schedule that you can sign up for; or you can do what we did and take a tandem-private lesson with 1 or 2 other friends, or a private lesson if you want more one-on-one.

I highly recommend Rae!

🎨 Brushwood Center BASE 🎨

Last week I posted about BASE at the Brushwood CenterBrushwood Center in Lincolnshire -- an art supply exchange, where you can donate all your used arts & crafts supplies you no longer need, as well as shop for more arts & crafts supplies that you do need!

That same day, I attended one of their workshops where we smashed dishes and created a mosaic! I would say it was more of an open studio than a class, but the instructor was around to lend a helping hand whenever needed.

My friend and I had so much fun creating our pieces and having full reign with our creative process!

I can't wait to attend another workshop!
