February Twenty Ninth, Twenty Twelve

 Better late then never, right?

We are working on Hamsa charms in 1st grade, and we're using Shrinky-Dinks.  I shrunk the one on the top and it curled in such a way that I decided I could not give it back to the student.  I decided to make a new one for the student myself based on the original design, and it worked out better.  He'll never know that it wasn't his.

This was the other Hamsa that didn't shrink well, so I tried to make the replacement, but it did not work.  I guess it would not pass for his anyway since I colored it too nicely.

When will this day be over?  I'm exhausted already!

February Twenty Seventh, Twenty Twelve

Dear creepy crawly thing,
   Why are you in my classroom?  Don't you know that you terrify me?  I am sorry that I scooped you up and trapped you in a container all day, but I couldn't take the chance of letting you run around while I have students in the room.  Not to be mean, but I hope a roadrunner ate you shortly after I released you outside because I'm too afraid to step on you.
  All due respect,
  Ms. W.

 From this

to Tai Chicken with Potatoes and Green Beans.  YUM!

And I finished another baby hat.

February Twenty Fifth, Twenty Twelve

Yes, it hit 81* today according to my car.

February Twenty Fourth, Twenty Twelve

Another baby hat, but this one has little pink puffs on it!

February Twenty Third, Twenty Twelve

Not bad for not having spun in over a year.

February Twenty Second, Twenty Twelve

Today is Ash Wednesday.

February Twenty First, Twenty Twelve

These are some Hamsa samples for my 1st grade.  The best part is that we are using Shrinky-Dinks!!!  AWESOMENESS!!!

February Twentieth, Twenty Twelve

I had the day off of school so I worked on updating my Etsy shop a little.  This is an attempt at taking better pictures then I did before.

February Nineteenth, Twenty Twelve

More baby hats, yay!  Now don't I sound thrilled?  The blue and green one on the bottom will eventually get a flower.

February Eighteenth, Twenty Twelve

Today was the P.E.O. garage sale, and I picked up this fun Tofu Cookbook!

February Seventeenth, Twenty Twelve

At least I have a Kindergartner giving me flowers!

February Sixteenth, Twenty Twelve

 It may be a little late, but I got a Valentine today from a student.

We are making paper beads in first grade, it's going to take them a while to get the whole thing down.

February Fifteenth, Twenty Twelve

I got a paint shirt donation today, and now I can get rid of the old worn out shirts!

February Fourteenth, Twenty Eleven

Happy Valentine's Day to me!!!  These are all of my Valentines from my adorable kids!!!  My favorite two are the Stegosaurus and Mr. Messy!!!  I also love the 6 notes from the Kindergartners that they wrote!!!  I love my kids!!!

February Thirteenth, Twenty Twelve

This tether ball did not last long, Alan just put it in at the end of last week.

 I smashed this hat

into this box for a teacher at school.

February Twelfth, Twenty Twelve

Another baby hat done, and this one is getting donated to a good cause!

February Eleventh, Twenty Twelve

I finally pulled my baby out of the garage today.

February Tenth, Twenty Twelve

I finished this flower today and then I put it on this hat.  I hope it looks really cute on the little girl that it is for.

February Ninth, Twenty Twelve

One of my kindergartners gave me this little mouse she made this morning.

 I found this print out this morning behind my desk.  I printed out pictures of the 5th grade kids for a project and told them they could keep them once they got so far in the assignment.  I guess this kid didn't want his, but he drew horns on his head with people "shufflin". 

February Eighth, Twenty Twelve

This is some fun mail I got today!

February Seventh, Twenty Twelve

A Scarlet Ibis and chick I drew for 4th grade today.

February Sixth, Twenty Twelve

Another baby hat finished.

February Fifth, Twenty Twelve

I did not take this picture, but I made this hat for Amy and I gave it to her today.  What a cutie!!!

February Fourth, Twenty Twelve

I finally got to meet my Uncle Bob (from Alaska) this weekend.  It was a little odd that I am 27 and there was an uncle I had never met.  He bought a house in Las Vegas, and I went up to meet him last night and stayed until today.  Long story short, does anyone know anybody that restores paintings?  I don't know if it's oil or acrylic, but somehow it got messed up at some point.

February Third, Twenty Twelve

I parked by this motor home when I went to lunch with Lori and Patti.  It was strange to see it in Bullhead City.  I did not get to meet Kelli Ward though.

February Second, Twenty Twelve

First grade hair today!

February First, Twenty Twelve

 Oh Audubon, how I love thee!

Here is some proof that I may have gone crazy today, I thew away yarn!  Granted it was in a box labeled "yarn" in the storage closet at school and it was all tangled up.  I salvaged what I could from the box and neatly put the untangled yarn in baggies to prevent future tangles, but I decided that this cheep, scratchy stuff was not worth my time or anyone else's to fuss over.
