been working on a 6 Nations board game: players learn Oneida words while 'travelling' around Turtle Island. Players roll die, move through the phases of the moon, draw a card to learn what to collect on the way: eg. corn, fish, lacrosse stick ... each with a different point value ... high points win. Anne loves it and asks to play again right away x 2!
So, gotta attend to some more details.

Tim's teabags


the shirt was an item I started this season with the plain green and white paper China teabag cover and then adapted Tim's when I figured out a way to get the logo placed. The Tim 'location' was a natural progression of the house first tried last year. I came upon one I'd left in a Reader's Digest page I may have used as a bookmark and forgot. Of course the turtle came from a calendar set and they stand up ;) as do the buildings if you get them just 'so'.
she:koli ... here's the origami Tim Horton's teabag covers I made a couple weeks ago. This year's 'batch' started prior to xmas with the green tea paper decorations then moved on to Tim's wrappers for more material. When I began to look at how to keep the logo showing or at least recognizable, I knew they might be interested. I sent a couple photos and ideas for them as I'd made a 'tree' by then for delivery to the local Tim's. It will be awhile but there is a meeting scheduled with Tim's 'people' in the near future where a contest will be discussed using the folding instructions online.
