Focus on Life – Week 6 {feel the love}
Here it is, week 6 of Sally Russick’s Focus on Life 2013 photo challenge. The prompt this week – “feel the love”.
One way I feel the love, is when I am making things. Another way – when I’m spending crafting time with my little buddy. Oh how he loves to make things with his little hands too. And that sure makes me happy!
To see the many ways others in the Focus on Life community are “feeling love”, please stop by here.
– Cindy xoxo

Always a special time with children. Always a joy to be a part of. So glad you shared this with us. I miss it too! But luckily I have grandchildren who love to make things.
Such a wonderful time.. especially with a young child before they head of to school.. so precious…

What special memories that creates for both of you. He is so cute and will you look at those eyelashes!!
Thanks everyone! And Susan, you should see my 10 year old’s eyelashes….they are so thick they look like he’s wearing fake eyelashes. He gets lots of compliments on them. 🙂
That last photo especially is precious. I think one of the most loving things you can do for your children is share time like this with them. You’ll both cherish it in the years to come.
what a sweet capture of your little buddy! my girls love to craft with me – such wonderful memories being together
Love the watercolors and such precious time creating!
There is nothing greater than crafting with your children and now for me my grandchild. And your pictures captured the time so well.
Such a lovely way to spend time together! And so nice that he shares your creative genes. He is so precious!
Artist in the making – precious.
What a cute assistant designer! He will remember these times with you all his life!
The love is flowing in your photos! I’m looking for a way to capture that feeling myself (without having to wait for grandchildren!)
What sweet precious time to spend with little ones. It is a great way to feel love and make memories. Great photos Cindy!
You’ve captured some really precious memories here. And the shots themselves are so crisp and clear. Very pretty!
Cindy as always your photography is stunning! I have actually been using my point and shoot so much while on Vaca that I’m looking forward to being able to take some nice shots (hopefully) again soon! Yours always inspire me to be a better photographer! I Love the subject here too 🙂 he and those little creative hands are so precious !
An artist in the making. He’s so precious.
I’m a true believer in starting your kids off with crafts and creativity early on in life; that’s what my mom did with both my sister and I since we were wee little ones and we both grew up with a love of arts and crafts ^.^
Lovely pictures Cindy! I love your life captures 🙂
Making things by hand is so truly a work of love. So sweet to see your son focused on his art.
It starts with a mentor and then they blossom into artists. I think there is competition in the Wimmer house. Stay on your game, Cindy. Thanks for sharing the love.
Cindy, he’s quite the artist! I love to watch little hands paint and how they aren’t afraid to use all of the colors! He’s so adorable!
I love your photos. Your son looks so serious and his artwork is gorgeous. I love that you cut the hearts out and left him the outlines .. great idea.
Everybody needs a little buddy to create with! I absolutely love little kid art.
The best of love: making memories with your little ones! My 10 yo still loves to craft with me, and I adore those moments 🙂 thank you for sharing yours.
He’s doing it again – killing me with his cuteness!
Awww…would love to have a buddy like this to create with! I’m delighted for you both, that you have this very special opportunity.
What a beautiful way to feel the love! Crafting always makes me feel love because I am working on something special for someone; something from the heart.
I also love your heart shaped punch! I have never seen that shape before in a punch. It reminds me of a metal bezel that I have-same shape. I tried finding one over the weekend with no luck. Maybe it is just too close to Valentine’s Day and stores are sold out!
It truly is fun crafting with kiddos!! They might sometimes surprise us with some great shapes, or color combinations!!
I love handmade and beaded jewelry. And I love your blog! I just wanted to say thanks for being awesome 🙂 if you are ever interested check out my shop! http://www.etsy.com/shop/prettygirlmariagirl
So adorable Cindy!! I remember those days w/my son when he was that age – the best of times for sure!!
I try to encourage my granddaughter to be creative every chance I get. They are truly treasured times. Thanks for the wonderful post.
