Wild Things

Go to this site and create a wild thing version of yourself.  I want to attach these to the bottom of your posters, so make sure they reflect your personality.

When you are finished, call me and I will email it to the class account.

Basic Facts

If you are one of the people who set 'basic facts' as one of your goals for your Snapshot, then this link is SO for you.  Some great activities and we can even print them out at school if you would like to have a go at them.

See what you think.

My Awesome Thing

My Awesome Thing.

You know when you’re using felts and one runs out, so you have to get another one? Instead make your own. “But how do you actually make it?” you ask. This is how… I really don’t know, ask a professional, they’ll know.
Don’t ask me. Well, you could but I don’t know.
Let’s just get back on the subject…

Awesome Thing

Awesome things: Spider
Don’t you ever wonder why people get scared of a spider? I know they look pretty scary, but why do you get scared over a little spider? It is so small and it can’t eat you in one gulp. It’s really weird how some people get scared or an 8 legged bug that is the size of an eye ball.

Important Moment

MoTec

Last week at MoTec I finished off my cushion.

My cushion is black and has a dog with a bone on it.  It took me two sessions at MoTec to finish it.

Now I am making a foot stool.  We have to sew two straight rows down a piece of square fabric. After that we have to make up a square frame, then we have to stick the fabric onto the frame.

It is going to be fun to make it and it will look good.
