Expensive paper.

So I have made coffee filter paper flowers before and loved them. Time consuming because you have to make them then paint them. So I stumbled upon this castle in the air crape paper flower. Loved them. The paper is quite expensive. With s&h it was 36 for 9 pieces. Yikes. So when you pay that much for paper. You save every scrap. Ok well maybe not you, but I do...

Patio garden.

It's been a busy day. And it's a week late but for Earth Day Eman and I decided to plant a patio garden. Except for his seasonal allergies we managed to do pretty well. :)

Fixing a bad join.

Sometimes bad things happen to good knitting. And it wasn't noticeable until I finished. So I twisted the yarn and used my felting tool to fix it. About 15 pushes and the twist was permanent. Ta da!

Art in the Classroom my BIG project.

So I was my art in the classroom project this past April 5th and I got overly ambitious and decided I would teach 24 2nd graders to sew. My continent was Australia so I decided to focus on Koalas. I pre-threaded all the needles 26, and gave them a tutorial on the basic running stitch. And away we went... Lol it was just a tad stressful, a lot of re-threading. But TOTALLY rewarding. The mother who signed up for April's door had not decorated it so I did ;)
Turned out excellent!!! I also received a touching Thank You from a girl who's mother informed me her daughter sewed all weekend!! Words can not explain how wonderful that is to hear.
