These charming plush stars with smiles, pouts, and looks of surprise are the handmade creations of 12 year old Kimberley of Belmont, MA. Kimberley loves to sew, and thinks of her creations as  ”personal pockets of sunshine” to be used as desk brighteners, gifts, car charms and bookmarks – an excellent gift for anyone! available at Artbeat

Recently I visited Claydreams with my Mom to paint some Pottery. I had never done it before and I had a great time. I painted a coffee mug and my Mom painted a bowl. The place was filled with great surfaces to paint and lots of kids and adults having fun. I haven’t picked my piece up yet, so I’m not sure how well it will come out, but that’s not the point! Its all  about having fun, and that’s why it’s great to live in the Capitol square Area of Arlington.
