Odds-N-Ends: Happenings in our Home
May. 14, 2008 • 7:25 AM
Here are a few things from last week:
My girls finished another great sewing project at their sewing lessons. My oldest daughter "Panda" recently sewed her brother "Pilgrim" a birthday present, a bag with pockets for him to use to carry schoolwork when we are out at lessons/appointments and it can also hold some Webkinz! Then she helped her sister with this:
They sewed their younger sister "Precious" a birthday gift too.
"Princess" sewed the dress and "Panda" helped by sewing a slip dress for underneath that had an adorable dainty ruffle at the bottom! Great job, girls! Your little sis looks so adorable in your creation! I am so thankful you both think of your siblings and make them things at your lessons!
Here is "Precious" wearing her new outfit!
Then... with my son "Pilgrim's" schooling, we studied magnets! It was a fun activitiy and everyone enjoyed watching.
We put down the specific magnet type and covered it with a sheet of paper and then sprinkle iron shavings on top of the paper. THe magnet made the shaving go into a particular pattern depending on the magnets magnetic fields!
Here is a latch magnet:
A circle magnet:
A horse-shoe magnet:
A bar magnet:
Then he drew them on his worksheet
It was fun! Magnets are cool! (and we got to teach them never to place magnets near the computers. The magnet's forces can mess up the computer!)
Then.. here is the garden box my wonderful hubby made for me. Now we just have to add dirt and plants. (It's been raining too much here lately to go get dirt.) It's looking nicer now so I will soon have our vegetable garden started! Yay! Fresh salads all summer long!
