Yes, I sewed something!


My goal for the summer is to do a pinterest project every week. I want to do projects that I can actually do and not be a waste of time. This was my project last week. I was inspired from this blog. I decided to do a project at my mom's house in Meridian while I was there. This is what I did mostly on Monday when I was hanging out doing nothing.

It was almost super easy. It said that it took about 30 minutes to do. If I did not stop and start, it would have taken me probably 45 minutes to an hour. But I kind of spaced out and was sidetracked in Meridian. I am now making another one red flowered one but on gold/yellowish fabric. It is not perfect and I can see where I made mistakes...but it is the first time that I have sewed something in a very long time.

Next week: I am making something functional for the whole family and I think I am going to tie it into a family home evening lesson if I can get my act together.  Ha!

Then grades had to be put in and it was down over the Christmas break so I had a huge pile to get in. Parent teacher conferences were on Thursday. I didn't meet with alot. I met with most of my students'  parents. The one that I wanted to talk to of course didn't show. My own children are doing great in class. Brayden is started to read more and more each day. He is reading near the end of his grade level. Lyndee knows all of her alphabet and sounds. They finally let her check out a library book. Yippee! Sometimes I wish that they would treat Kindergarten with more rigor toward the middle of the year to get them ready for first. Just my opinion. My house is feeling very neglected and wil...

Day 5 -- Vacation

On Wednesday, our last day in the land of the heat. We went to the Mesa Southwest Museum. I guess it is call the Museum of Natural History. In all my years living in the valley and in Eagar, we never went to this museum. It rocked! I wished that I could take my students there. This room was all black with flourescent lighting. The kids could write on those white board with light wands. Whatever the kids wrote would be gone in about 20-30 seconds. It was pretty cool. I loved the interactive the stuff. I have been wanting to do this for years with my classroom. I have wanted them to create their plays. Then act them out in front of a green screen and then use a computer program to put their scenery in. I think I am going to find a grant and write one! Sister Lou loved being on T.V. We would couldn't drag this little starlet off it. Isn't this cute? They got behind the TV and now they are projected into an old western. They had a part of the old territorial prison in th...
