We've been rocking this whole extended Summer break gig for nearly 2 weeks now and we've already made our local art supply shop owner a rich guy (and will continue to do so).
First because we must have easily bought Ishita's weight in stickers, stamps and washi tape for our epic Summer of 2016 Journal project. Then because that is not all that we did...

I vowed for us to have a creative Summer, even if it is hot, and all we ant to do is sleep or watch TV (we still do a lot of that).
Let me show you what we've more or less been up to with this round up of our most epic projects of this past week and a half.
We started by going to a adult colouring / play date party. Because, unless you've been hiding under a rock, you know that adult colouring books have made a massive comeback in the past year or so and are now sold even at Crossword in India.
I say comeback, rather than new fad, because I remember them in the mid to late 90's. I even had a German teacher in middle school who would hand us xeroxed pages to colour when we would loose focus and act like moronic typical teenagers. 15 minutes of colouring was all it took to reboot our brain and have us pay attention to the Deutsch she was trying to make us learn again.

This pretty picture above can be coloured in this pretty affordable adult colouring book. Ishita coloured in her Frozen colouring book.
Then we spent another afternoon (ok two) painting terracotta pots using a kit from Toy Kraft. I painted a pretty blue pot. Ishita decided to paint a pink one:
That same afternoon one if Ishita's friend came over and they continued painting on paper for a while, I still use the plastic table cloth I bought last year to make these type of activity less messy. We used it so much that I might have to contemplate buying a new one soon.
You can see said table "cloth" in action in the picture above. Ishita painted one of these cute kid's canvas set that day (While I worked on a black board paint project). The table cover has seen much abuse in the past year and you can probably see a small tear. I used it for every single paint project we did, either on the table, or on the balcony when it involved spray painting.
Painting is not all that we did. There were a couple of playdates, some outdoor play time, and Ishita has been hard at work making some new necklaces for her own collection as well.
Just today we've been out the whole morning running errands and then some more to take pictures of flowers. She got fascinated by my picture taking sessions for upcoming blog posts and she decided we had to go to the park so she could snap some pictures as well.

So, this is what we've pretty much been up to so far, what's up with you guys?
