Sister numero 3 is finally on the blog. Literally!
This is what my computer screen looked like tonight. I was Skyping BeQ, when all of a sudden... FUREEZE! Putyuhandzup! Her little face became a giant blur on my screen, and wouldn't go away. I got to stare at that for far too long, until my computer decided to start working again. Do ya see her? She's right up top there!
My Trick is this cool Mail Station idea that I came across today.
Make it out of wood magazine holder! How nifty is that!
And My Treat are these fun projects I did with the kids today! They LOVED it!
Caterpillar on a leaf: Cut out leaf shape for the kids (or have them cut it out following your sketch) Cut edges to make shaggy. Place dots of Glue on leaf and stick on Pom Poms. Add googly eyes and you have a fuzzy little friend!
You can do many learning activities with this craft. Numbers, tracing, patterns, the list goes on!
For the Chrysalis: Place a fuzzy friend inside of tissue paper and roll it up! Glue closed, and stick on to a tree drawing.
Simple and fun!
Oh don't worry about the butterfly thing up there. I's cool.
As we were making our Caterpillars, a show came on with bugs! I thought it'd be cool. It wasn't. It was really creepy and horrible. Have you ever heard of Dirt Girl World? We hadn't either.
This is something super rad and amazingly cool I saw. Check out this sweetness:
So, I wanted to share that for this week. You cut the stem vertically so it is like a lot of little "straws". Then, you put each "straw" into a cup of coloured water.
T.O.T.T. is more of just a treat today, not a trick. I sewed a skirt with a zipper! Are you impressed? I wanted to share some pics with you, so that you could see! It's definitely not sell worthy, and the stitches aren't straight, but it fits (well enough) and I'm proud of it.
Brec and I went to the craft store and bought fabric to make some different skirts, and then got home and started cutting only to find out we didn't get enough fabric. So! I made myself this skirt with the fabric instead.
I had to cut the zipper out of an old skirt I had in the D.I. bag, rip the seams and strip it clean of the other fabric, so I could sew it into my new skirt! I wore it to church on Sunday and made Mike take some pictures of me, but I couldn't get them to upload onto my laptop, so I only have the cell phone pics to show you.
