I figured that it was time to finally post an entry about this!

This is a blanket that I made for a friend to give her at her baby shower. It didn’t take very long because I used a huge hook, so after watching several episodes of Jon and Kate Plus Eight and everything else on TLC, it was finished. You can’t tell in this picture, but I started to add a stitch or two on the turn around, so the bottom of one side sort of sticks out. Either way, this is the first blanket that I have ever made!

Friday’s High Five

1. Beautiful wedding cakes! - from InStyle.com
2. Spicy magnets - what a clever idea from a member of Craftster.org
3. How to make a bubbling fountain - from gardenworld.com!
4. Cute afghan! - made by Dayna
5. Happy Star felt iPod cozy - another great project from Crafster.org!

(I had forgotten to add several of the previous posted links to the High Five Archive page, but I caught them all up today!)

happy friday!

I am a member in the online club The Quilting Bee. In this club we make little pixel patches and trade them to have a beautiful collection of patches for our own online quilt. Our club also has activities, and this month we are making sand castles. Here is the one that I made to enter in the contest:

I have been working a lot lately. And when I am not working, I’m often preparing for work. We have had a few training meetings in the evenings lately, plus I teach music classes.. So, I work on those lesson plans because I have to remember all of these songs for the different level classes. But, I love my job! It’s so great to see familiar faces from week to week. I also do such a mix of things. I teach music classes, art once a week, and I also teach classes in the play area. We have to know about a million songs, but that hasn’t been hard so far. I would love to have my own classroom someday!

I have a few entries that I want to post, but I need to upload some pictures first. There are several crafts that I have done that I would like to make entries for, plus some yummy meals to go in the cuisine section.

I’m so glad tomorrow is Friday (and payday)! I’ll try to get a few of those entries in this weekend
