Sewing Lessons
Sewing Lessons 101:
Today, my friend, Karen, taught me how to sew these pajama shorts for Rachel and Emily. It was great fun, AND I feel like I could replicate what we did! I also learned I have been threading my machine WRONG for the past 5 years! No wonder I had such a hard time using the darn thing! Anyway, the girls loved the final product and are wearing them to bed tonight. SUCCESS!

Artistic Pursuits
We are using this book for Art:
One of the things I really like about this curriculum is that it introduces many media types. Today, we used gouache paint for the first time. I've never heard of it and never would have just picked it up on my own to try. But the colors are bright and vibrant.
Another reason I chose to use Artistic Pursuits, is that I can teach art! I'm not artistic or creative, but the girls really love to draw, paint, sculpt, etc. So, with each lesson, they are learning art history, learning about different artists, and methods of creating art.
Here are the artists and their creations:

Sing and Make Music
Em and Rach did a fantastic job (yes, I'm biased!) at the Sing and Make Music Festival. Since I wasn't able to make it, Eric video taped the performance. Enjoy!
Cardinal nest cam
We have really enjoyed watching Molly, the owl, and her owlets via a live nest cam. Today we discovered a cardinal nest cam. In the nest are three newly hatched chicks.
