Crafty Chics
by Gail Tilton
Crafty Chics began in May 2006 when six women joined me at my home to play with polymer clay and create buttons for some knitting projects we were all working on.
Finding such enjoyment in the crafting and camaraderie, one woman asked if we could please do this again. That afternoon, I sat down at the computer to send out an email with a future date and I addressed the six participants as "Crafty Chics."
The name stuck and the group grew.

Creative Christmas Cookies
by Teagan O'Sullivan
Everyone loves cookies. The holidays are a perfect excuse to roll up your sleeves, tie on an apron and try baking something a little more creative than run-of-the-mill chocolate chip.
Think of creatively iced sugar cookies, colored butter cookies pressed into holiday shapes, and those special molasses spice cookies that fill your kitchen with the smell of Christmas.
Here are two of our family's favorite special Christmas cookies, to add some "pizzazz" to your holiday cookie plate. Easy – and fun – to make and eat!

Meet the Artist
Dr. Edith A. Tonelli
at Barnstable Town Hall
Thursday, November 29
from 4 to 6PM
250 South Street, Hyannis
Dr. Edith A. Tonelli produces art works in the manner of traditional Chinese brush painting, often known by the Japanese term-"Sumi-e".
In a manner similar to Acupuncture and the physical arts of Tai Qui and Qigong, traditional Chinese painting involves a process of capturing and expressing "qui", what the Chinese call "energy" of life, or "the life force".
Dr. Tonelli works are featured on the Hearing Room and Selectmen Room walls in Town Hall through November 30.
The Artwork on Loan program is another venue for local artists to display their work. Visitors who use the meeting rooms will discover an inviting and attractive environment and will have an opportunity to learn about some of the Cape's local artists.
