Creative Outlets

We're back! That is Benjamin, Sadie and I from our month long tour around the US. And quite a tour it was from Chicago to Maryland to Virginia. I will post more about that later, but quite frankly I'm still recovering from such a trip and it will exhaust me even to write about it.

So instead I'm going to share about my delightful day attending a Japanese floral arrangement class. It was the perfect escape from the hectic (yet mostly fun) past thirty days that I endured. This is something I can definitely see keeping up once back in the States. It has a very calming and peaceful affect working between the branches, flowers and water. The arrangements are so elegant and fragile. This will definitely go down as another top highlight of this tour. I can't wait to attend the class again next month.




My floral arrangement. Although I can't take complete credit for this on my own since Miss Ha had to guide me through the proper method and placement.


The array of flowers and branches we had to choose from filled the room with a beautiful aroma.


Our instructor Miss Ha is very skilled in this art and studied for many years.
