Here is a glimpse of the new Making Fiends Show– if you haven’t seen the scoop already. We love the original site so, so much. My girls ever-quote the episodes and were even inspired to Halloween as Vendetta and Charlotte. See? And the GIANT hamsters that almost wrecked my sewing machine for good? Only our friends and family had any idea who they were, but Marigold had a great time speaking in Vendetta-ish all night and the little is just naturally Charlotte.

Amy Winfrey is the geniusette behind it and she is getting a gig on Nick. Check out her website at making fiends and some of the new show temptings here.

ART CLASS for the fiendish ones….

Yesterday we started the most recent installment of life-long for-real art experiences for the girls. This is in part to compensate for the lame-oh-art-prison classes at school and also just for fun and creativity time in our family. Jim already does Illustration Friday night with them most weeks, and these days are just an excuse for more of a good thing for everyone. We started yesterday with a lesson on mixing colors and color theory and relationship. They did such great work! Even the youngest did the mixing all by herself and really got it. Here they are hypnotized by the process

That’s all I have for this evening, I am headed up to the nest to knit on the recital capelet. I will have a knitting update soon, as well as shots of some new markers tomorrow!
