I have been crafty lately.

Sephy has to have a Christmas outfit for dance.  I decided to try the Semi No-Sew Tutu. 

This is part of her costume.  I can't decide if I like the black or if I should do a white shirt instead. 

I liked how it turned out so well that I made two of them and hair bows to match.  

The one on the right is Sephy's and the one on the left is for a friends little girl.

This is the hair bow.  It is a hair rubber band made to look like the bigger tutu just miniature sized. =)

6th Grade Rocks!

We started last week on our 6th grade curriculum.  Lets just say 6th Grade Rocks!!!!!

Sephy is doing really good.  She has learned new things and her eyes light up when she figures it out for the first time on her own.

She learned to crochet hats this past week too!
Here is a picture of her first hat and the next one is her second hat.

(I am not quite sure why it has a line, just bad camera phone)

I hope that everyone has a great Monday!

PS I am trying to get back in the groove of things.  I just need a little kick start I guess.  

Teacher Appreciation Week

If you didn't know this week is Teacher Appreciation Week. So make sure you show your appreciation towards your child's teacher.  That means home school moms need to be shown some appreciation too!!!

Sephy has 3 teachers.  At her school the 4th grade changes classes for Math, Language Arts, and Science/History.  I could have went the cheap way out and just gave something to her homeroom teacher but I didn't think that would be right.

Sephy decorated Aluminum Water Bottles with some Daisy Stickers for them.  She also made some pop up cards from a kit I got on clearance.

Supplies:

3 water bottles ($3.00 each, $9.00 total)
3 sheets of stickers ($1.00 each, $3.00 total)
3 cards (kit was $2.00 for 4 cards, $.50 each, $1.50 total)
3 bags ($.25 each, $.75 total)
Tissue paper (had on hand)
Candy (optional I spent about $2.00 total for all 3)

Total of gift was around $5.50 each.  Which I think is a bargain.

Sephy had a lot of fun making these.
