Feb. 24, 2006 - 4-H
Just one last time, readers please go take a look at this really neat debating blog called The Contenders. It is really cool!
I'm sure everyone has noticed the remodeling of my template. Aren't the panda bears cute?
There are still a few things I need to fix, and mess with, but other than that it is pretty much done.
I can always use suggestions on how to fix things or make them look better, so please leave a comment on it, if you can think of anything.
Two days ago I finished my 4-H crochet project. It is a poncho, and it keeps you very warm! Here is a picture of it.
We are in two 4-H clubs this year, and the sewing, crocheting, and knitting one is called Needle Nuts. Sis and I are the only members.
We are trying to convince some of our friends to join, but we haven't heard back from them yet.
For my knitting project I am working on a teddy bear pattern that I found at Knitting Pattern Central.
For my sewing project I am working on a skirt pattern that we found at a thrift store.
We have been in a sewing 4-H group before, and I think the leader was amazed at how little my family knows about sewing. We would work on our projects, and then go to the weekly meeting. When we would proudly show what we had accomlished, and wait for the verdict.
More often then not the verdict was good, because when we had worked on our projects, we were afraid to do to much, for fear we would ruin the whole thing.
So far I have only cut my pattern out on the fabric. I even messed up on that! I accidently cut on the 12 line, instead of the 14 line. I was pretty upset(and still am), but my leader told me she could help me sew it so that I will still have a skirt.
I am hoping to do Fashion Reveue this year with both my poncho and my skirt. With three projects, I should do pretty well on one of them!

Sewing can be so tricky! I remember when I made my very first shirt.... Oh boy did I have to take it apart many many times! *smile*
