September Thirtieth, Twenty Twelve

I accidentally broke my favorite pair of scissors at school today.  I am very sad about this turn of events.

September Twenty Ninth, Twenty Twelve

Patti's little pumpkin is 4 months old today!  To celebrate I made him this little pumpkin hat!

September Twenty Eighth, Twenty Twelve

GuitarMania!

September Twenty Seventh, Twenty Twelve

I got a flu shot today and now my arm is sore.

September Twenty Sixth, Twenty Twelve

One of my students walked up to me this morning and handed me this flower so I wore it all day because it matched what I was wearing today.  I love getting flowers at school!  

September Twenty Fifth, Twenty Twelve

I came home today and there were these giant dragonflies on the car antennas.  If you look closely at the top picture you will see that they were indeed on both!

September Twenty Fourth, Twenty Twelve

This is the clay skull that the "well behaved" 5th graders will get to make.  We'll see how many classes can manage it.

September Twenty Third, Twenty Twelve

This is the scarf after I felted it, perhaps I need to take a picture of it on sometime because you can't see it twist that well.

September Twenty Second, Twenty Twelve

I made a blueberry baby hat for someone in Texas.

September Twenty First, Twenty Twelve

I bought a skull yesterday and I'm going to paint it like a Mexican Sugar Skull for the Day of the Dead for my classroom but this is as far as I got.

September Twentieth, Twenty Twelve

Walk to Math.  Sigh.

September Nineteenth, Twenty Twelve

I finally got my document camera this morning!!!  

September Eighteenth, Twenty Twelve

I can totally still draw a (somewhat) realistic skull from memory, so there 5th graders!  Ok, so it's really off, but they were really impressed.

I hung up about 200 pieces of student artwork in the cafeteria today.  Check out the Snake Parade!

September Seventeenth, Twenty Twelve

A kid threw up in my room today.  I decided not to take a picture until after it was cleaned up.  

September Sixteenth, Twenty Twelve

I finished knitting the scarf, and this is that it looks like before felting.

September Fifteenth, Twenty Twelve

 Six people from my district drove down to Tempe last night for a special professional development session today.  The hotel we stayed in had this mounted on the wall of the shower, and I thought it was a great idea! Plus the shampoo made my hair really soft!

 A pretty cactus flower.

I got blue gummy sharks for the ride home!

September Fourteenth, Twenty Twelve

BAM!  Smacked right in the forehead.  I got the scratch cleaned up by the nurse, hopefully it will be ok.

September Thirteenth, Twenty Twelve

This is the last healthy food person!  I finally got to it since I didn't have 2nd grade last Thursday because of the conferences.  

September Twelfth, Twenty Twelve

This is my attempt at making skull beads made out of Model Magic as an example for a Day of the Dead project for the kids.  I will see how it works tomorrow when they dry.

September Eleventh, Twenty Twelve

My room has not been vacuumed in a week now, it looks awful!

September Tenth, Twenty Twelve

Another portrait brought to you by Giuseppe Archemboldo!

September Ninth, Twenty Twelve

This is what a chopped down palm tree looks like.

September Eighth, Twenty Twelve

These are hats that I sent to Alaska for Sarah.

September Seventh, Twenty Twelve

Look, I started a new knitting project.  I'm still feeling uninspired though.

September Sixth, Twenty Twelve

One of my students drew me this picture of a time machine that lit the two trees on fire as it landed.

September Fifth, Twenty Twelve

More Giuseppe Arcimboldo.

September Fourth, Twenty Twelve

Oh Giuseppe Arcimboldo, you always make me smile! 

September Third, Twenty Twelve

I didn't have school today so I painted my toenails blue with sparkles!

September Second, Twenty Twelve

I got my cans today, did you get yours?

September First, Twenty Twelve

I am giving up on the blanket again and here is my next project.
