I seized this information with both ears and demanded to be included, […]
Piece by Piece….Our Tree Grew
“When life gives you scraps….make quilts!” …and that is just what we did! A year ago, we started at the roots….and worked our way up to the sky. And ‘sew’ it is, that a year later, our banyan tree is complete! Threads of many colours, people of different ages and people with varying skills and […]
They Came! They Read! They Cooked!
‘Turning up the heat’ cannot have been more apt for the 13th, 14th & 15th of May in Bookworm. Outside, the mercury is rising and the humidity spiking; and inside, the thermostat is being set to 200 degrees, and the things are being put on the double boiler! It’s the 3 day cooking segment; Cook […]

With Light and Shadows They Did Play…
Shadows and Light. If you’re wondering how a theme like this would pan out, here’s a look at what Isa pulled out of the bag for this session. Warm up! Shake it out! Tell me you name…with flourish is how we do it in this game! Do a twirl, or hop around, wave your […]
We started Summer….Baking, Shaking…and Reading!
We kicked off our Summer Program with food ! Of course the session was led by me, food lover that I am and evidently tucking it in to go by my returner Eric’s comment. Eric was at Summer Program 2013 and it was joyful to have him back until he looked at me and said […]
