Winter Craftting 101 : #2

2010-01-31T13:18:00.000-08:00

We are into a whole bunch of arts and crafts things lately so here is one of the things that are doing.
Wax Valentines Day Hearts

All the supplies.

Mom chopping the wax

Once we melted the wax it sort of looked like Honey.

The I tied the loops.Hannah pouring the wax.

Bekah and I then placed the loops id the wax.

Drying

Bekah trying to get hers out.

The finished product.

Bekah loves it.

How To Do This
You will need,
One block of bees wax,
Twine,
Heart molds,
Canning jar,

Sauce pan,
Watter.

First, you need to cut the bees wax in cubs small enough to fit in the canning jar. Fill the sauce pan with watter and turn on high. Once the watter is boiling, place the canning jar in and wait till melted. While waiting, cut the twine into 4 in" pieces ( as many as you have molds ) and tie into loops. Now that the wax is melted, pour into the molds and let sit until film is seen on the wax. Make a hole in the wax with a tooth pick, DO NOT GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH! Stick the end of the loop in the hole and gently press with finger, in order to seal the hole. Then let dry completely. Now getting the bees wax out of the mold can bee kind of tricky. You can try and pull on the edges hard and then bag it upside down on a hard surface. If that does not work boil 3 in" of watter in a sauce pan ( to make less dishes you can use the same one from earlier ). Pick up the mold with tongues and place in watter. Make sure not to drop it or submerge it in the watter. Take it out in and repeat the pulling and baning until it popped out. Walla!!!

Bekah's Play Time

2010-01-31T09:31:00.000-08:00

Bakah and I decided to make silly faces!

Bakah and I were up in my room and she decided to do a whole bunch of different things.

Above is here kicking.

Her jumping.

Here I am tickling her.

Hope this made your day a little better! And sorry for the vids being side-ways.

2010-01-29T09:21:00.000-08:00

We are into a whole bunch of arts and crafts things lately so here is one of the things that are doing.

Pine Cone Bird FeedersHere is Hannah covering her pine cone with bird seed.
Bekah peanut buttering hers.

Deklin peanut buttering his.

Here I am helping him.

Once we finished then we went out side to hang them up. Here's Hannah and Bekah with there pine cones. ( It was quite chilly out and that's why hannah appears to have no neck ).

The beautiful finished product.

Now for the last step, Clean up , hahahahaha. Well not so funny since I did the dishes.

How To Do This

You will need,

Pine cones

Peanut butter

Assorted bird seed

Yarn or string

A butter knife

Bowls

and a rimmed cookie sheet.

Note: the last three items are just for presenting it to the child.

Spread peanut butter on pine cone so that it is completely covered ( this prosses must include getting your fingers sticky ). Then sprinkle or role your pine cone with the bird seed . Then tie the end of the pine cone with string and the other end into a loop. Go outside and hang your wonderful creation on a tree in front of your window and get ready to admire the birds who come to get a snack.

Coffe......Healthy?

2009-10-30T11:36:00.001-07:00

I drink coffee every morning and some times later on in the day. Well, every body is like "OMG! you drink coffee". So that got me thinking "is coffee that bad for you?". So I went to my lap top and looked it up on the web. Turns out coffee is really good for you especially if you get the good stuff.

Coffee has minerals and vitamins to help you fight off diabetes, Parkinson's disease, colon cancer,and migraines. OK, so coffee help fight off diseases that's cool. But the thing about coffee that makes parents prevent their children from having it is the caffeine. Right? So I looked into that. Turns out that coffee has no more caffeine than soda. Plus soda has a lot of sugar, fillers, artificial flavors and dyes. Talk about bad for you. Coffee also has less caffeine than energy waters.

That sure is enough info for me to continue drinking my morning java and hope it is for you too.

My Trip To The Coast With Dixie

2009-10-29T10:04:00.000-07:00

Home Made Mouse Pad and Book Mark

2009-10-03T15:49:00.000-07:00

The other day we went to visit my grandmother in Lebanon. While we were there we went to Jo Anna's, the fabric store. As we made our way in and out of the fabrics looking at almost everything we found that they had flat quarters on sale, buy one get two free. Mom found one on the front side and we continued our way to the back. On the back side of the display there was a funky blue swirl pattern, I picked it up and asked mom if this could be one of three we got. Being the wonderful mom she is she said yes. So into the cart it went. Latter mom came up to me and ask which fabric match another fabric. I told her which one and asked what she was making. She told me a mouse pad and then I new what I was making with my blue swirl fabric.

I then picked out another fabric and we payed and left the store. When we got home the next day I wasted no time and started on my mouse pad. Mom gave me instructions on how to measure and cut ( as you can see above ) too make the perfect size square.

Measure, cut, measure, cut, measure,cut.

Then pinning and sewing finish the project.......Oh wait......

...finish the project.

Of coarse there was extra fabric and I just had to make a matching book mark.

Book Group #3

2009-10-01T12:05:00.000-07:00

This month for book group I am reading " To Kill A Mocking Bird " by Harper lee. I started it yesterday and am really into it. This book is more intriguing than the cover, believe me. Below is the story line of the book.

Like the slow-moving occupants of her fictional town, Lee takes her time getting to the heart of her tale; we first meet the Finches the summer before Scout's first year at school. She, her brother, and Dill Harris, a boy who spends the summers with his aunt in Maycomb, while away the hours reenacting scenes from Dracula and plotting ways to get a peek at the town bogeyman, Boo Radley. At first the circumstances surrounding the alleged rape of Mayella Ewell, the daughter of a drunk and violent white farmer, barely penetrate the children's consciousness. Then Atticus is called on to defend the accused, Tom Robinson, and soon Scout and Jem find themselves caught up in events beyond their understanding. During the trial, the town exhibits its ugly side, but Lee offers plenty of counterbalance as well--in the struggle of an elderly woman to overcome her morphine habit before she dies; in the heroism of Atticus Finch, standing up for what he knows is right.

The meeting of this books discussion is the 27th of October. My mom and I would be more than willing to pick up any body who wishes to read the book.

Yes......accepted

2009-09-03T17:18:00.000-07:00

YAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! I got excepted, I got excepted I got excepted to Preform it. Preform it is a children's Shakespeare stage camp. It is located in wolfburo n.h. and is for children ages 10-18. It is for home schooler only and is once a week. It is beneficial not only in the art of preforming but you also learn about William Shakespeare at the same time. Also it is awesome. I have been hoping to get into preform it since Mrs. hair took me to the first annul day Shakespeare fair hosted by preform it. They took you through mack-up, costume, script , stage, and at the end of the day we put on a few skits for our family's. I had heard of preform it be for thought it was cool,but i didn't actually want to do it..... until the fair.

Well after the fair ( which was in the spring ) I asked my grandmother to give me money for my birthday to go towards me going to preform it. My generous grandma decided to spoil me and gave it all to me. So I applied for it and waited...and waited...and waited, and then they called me and I had gotten excepted.

Preform it is amazing and I can't wait to start ( which is the 16th ). Wahooooooooooooooooo!

My Favorite Book Serise

2009-07-18T08:14:00.000-07:00

My favorite book series wood have to be the spy series by Ally Carter. It all started when I went on some arens with my cousin ( Casidy ) and my aunt ( nini, yes nini, it is a nick name ). I picked up a book that was on the seat and said " what is this " and she replied " this is a great book by Ally Carter ". So when we went to the book store a few days latter I asked dad if I could buy it. As soon as I started reading it I couldn't take mt eyed off it! So I read it and was siked it was one in a three book series! So I have read the first 2 and am waiting for the 3rd to come out in paper back.

I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have To Kill You

The Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women is a fairly typical all-girls school—that is, if every school teaches advanced martial arts in PE, chemistry always consists of the latest in chemical warfare, and everyone breaks CIA codes for extra credit in computer class. So in truth, while the Gallagher Academy might say it's a school for geniuses what they really mean is spies. But what happens when a Gallagher Girl falls for a boy who doesn't have a code name? Cammie Morgan may be fluent in fourteen languages and capable of killing a man in seven different ways (three of which involve a piece of uncooked spaghetti), but the Gallagher Academy hasn't prepared her for what to do when she meets an ordinary boy who thinks she's an ordinary girl. Sure, she can tap his phone, hack into his computer, and track him through a mall without him ever being the wiser, but can she have a regular relationship with a regular boy who can never know the truth about her? Cammie may be an elite spy in training, but in her sophomore year, she's doing something riskier than ever—she's falling in love.

Cross My Heart And Hope To Spy

Cammie Morgan may have a genius IQ and attend the best school in the country, but as she starts the spring semester of her sophomore year there are a lot of things she doesn't know. Like will her ex-boyfriend even remember she exists? And how much trouble did she really get in last semester? And, most of all, exactly why is her mother acting so strangely? All Cammie wants is a nice, normal semester, but she's about to learn her greatest lesson yet—that when you go to a school for spies, nothing is ever as it seems.

Don't Judge A Girl By Her Cover
When Cammie "the Chameleon" Morgan visits her roommate Macey in Boston, she thinks she's in for an exciting end to her summer break. After all, she's there to watch Macey's father accept a nomination for vice president of the United States. But when you go to the world's best school (for spies), "exciting" and "deadly" are never far apart. Cammie and Macey soon find themselves trapped in a kidnapper's dangerous plot, with only their espionage skills to save them. As her junior year begins, Cammie can't shake the memory of what happened in Boston, and even the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women doesn't feel like the safe haven it once did. Shocking secrets and old flames seem to lurk around every one of the mansion's corners as Cammie and her friends struggle to answer the questions, Who is after Macey? And how can they keep her safe? Soon Cammie is joining Bex and Liz as Macey's private security team on the campaign trail. The girls must use their spy training at every turn as the stakes are raised, and Cammie gets closer and closer to the shocking truth...

This is the book I've been reading while I wait for the next book in the series of my spy series to come out in soft cover. So-far-so-good!

The Sister Hood Of The Traveling Pants

( unfortunately the back cover of this book is not a summarisation of the book! I is however a list of the rules they used! )

Coming Soon

2009-07-02T06:24:00.000-07:00

Coming Soon! I am In the proses of making a new blog! This is not another blog that is filled with around the house activity's but filled with all birds. Bird facts, Bird Projects, Bird Jokes, Birds seen at our feeder, All the stuff I can think of that has to do with birds. I have one post so far but will not give you a link until there are at least 8 post in all. So Wait and see!

Babies!

2009-07-01T10:05:00.000-07:00

Babies! Yes babies, not exactly human but still babies. Baby birds! We have had baby chickadees, rose breasted grose beaks, Chirping sparrows, and possibly a cat bird. Almost all we have seen at the feeder, excepting the cat bird, and all are adorable and all are tiny , excepting the rose breasted grose beak. Yes so to share my joy and show you how cute they are a have some pictures below.

Chickadee:

This little guy we saw first and I have to say is my favorite. He has grown since we first saw him , he was about the size of a hummingbird, and now is hard to identify form the parents , but he/she is still a baby so we do.

Rose Breasted Grose Beak:

This little guy , though you can barely call him little, we saw second. He is kinda funny looking because he is a big bird but still has downy feathers. He/she and his/her mother are always exiting to see because of there size.

Chirping Sparrow:

This is an interesting little bird. His/her parents are tinny , only about 4in long yet they will chase other birds away from the feeder. So I always got made when they chased off cool birds like the Rose Breasted Grose Beak , Indigo Bunting , American gold finch .
Then they brought the baby, and I knew that they were just trying to keep the baby safe.

Yes soon to come Baby robins:

Yes we have a robins nest out in one if the trees.......... so ........... Baby Robins! At first we thought it was a cat bird nest but then a robin sat i it. So babies we are waiting for you.

My Dad's Worst Joke

2009-05-20T10:18:00.000-07:00

THIS IS A MUST READ POST!!!

We were siting at the dinner table last night talking a bout facts , you know........ some one would say something and then a conversation would come up, when my dad decided to play a joke on us. We didn't know he was playing a joke so we listened trying to learn something. Here is the joke:

Did you know that the titanic was not just a passenger ship, but also a cargo ship. It was, and the biggest shipment ever was mayonnaise. Well the Mexicans loved mayonnaise, so the titanic was going to bring mayonnaise from new york to Mexico. Well the titanic never got there , It sunk. So when the Mexicans found out the decided to make and name a holiday after it....... Sink-O-DE-Mayo.

HeHeHeHeHaHaHaHa!!

Now every time i get the chance I say the first phrase to my mom " did you now that the titanic was not just a passenger ship................

Gardening 101

2009-05-19T14:24:00.000-07:00

Gardening is hard in N.H ,with the cold weather you cant plant stuff soon enough. So we started our seeds in pots inside. Well it started to pile up on our kitchen table, so we planted our broccoli, onions, and lettuce. The next morning we checked them.......They had made it through the night! YAY!!!! But dad said that the next night was suppost to be 30 degrees. So we thought, and we thought, and we thought, and mom said we should cover them with plastic. The next morning........They survived.

Below are some pictures of the garden ( inside and out).Our plastic covered garden.
Our onions ( under the plastic).

Our peas ( planted inside ).

Our cucumbers ( planted inside )

Not all of the growing things at our house are veggies. This rose was given to mom for mothers day, she also has a white one that has not bloomed yet.

GENESIS 1:11

Then God said, “Let the land sprout with vegetation—every sort of seed-bearing plant, and trees that grow seed-bearing fruit. These seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.” And that is what happened.

Tin Mt. Bird Walk

2009-05-09T17:07:00.000-07:00

In the news paper last Saturday there was a notice about a weekly Tin Mt. bird walk at the brown field bog. So bright and early at 5 o'clock this morning the alarm clocks went off. Mom, Rebekah and I grabbed a back pack stuffed with snacks, water, a sketch pad, colored pencils and of course a camera, pulled on our rubber boots and applied a thick layer of bug spray and headed to the bog.

Above you see some of the group headed into the bog. It seemed we stopped every few feet to view another species of bird. We saw lots of pairs building next and "flirting". We even saw a couple of Black-and-White Warblers having a tiff as the female looked on. I wonder which one won her heart?

A few of the group are biggies in the respect of bird watchers. They were wonderful and amazing in their knowledge and love for these little feathered beaked creatures. One woman, Dixie, took me under her wing ( hehehe! Joke intended )and took time to stop and make sure I saw all the birds she did. Dixie's friend had this awesome, powerful spotting scope. It was so cool to see the birds UP CLOSE through this. Thank you Dixie for helping me to see how truly amazing birds are. I can't wait until next Saturday..................Infact why not come a long. Email my for directions.

Hard Rain

2009-05-09T15:53:00.000-07:00

Today ,May 9th, we had a relatively large thunder storm, FIRST OF THE SEASON!! There was hard rain, thunder, lightning, cool air, the hole Kit-n-caboodle. Below are some pictures off the web that are similar in what happened at our house. Thunder and Lightning!
Rain covered the window!

Down-poor worse than this!

GENISIS 7:4
Seven days from now I will make the rains pour down on the earth. And it will rain for forty days and forty nights, until I have wiped from the earth all the living things I have created.”

GENISIS 9:17
Then God said to Noah, “Yes, this rainbow is the sign of the covenant I am confirming with all the creatures on earth.”

GENISIS 1:7
And that is what happened. God made this space to separate the waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens.

EXODUS 14:22
So the people of Israel walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on each side!

House for Sale

2009-04-16T16:42:00.000-07:00

We were playing out side when mom came out and told us to come over. Once we were next to her she said " How would you like to make fairy houses ". Of course I didn't want to make "" Fairy"" houses, so I just made a tiny-tiny-little house. IT SO CUTE!! Okay I'll give you the tour

The whole house.

The inside, nice, cozy, a little open.

Out the back door, and into the garden. A nice rock wall edges a pathway and surrounds the garden.

Last but defiantly not least. Fly up to the roof and look up..........a tree house? Yep! You get a completely safe floor and roof.

Needless to say we had a lot of fun. It's educational to, you get to familiarize your self with nature ( whats bendy, stiff, stackable, and tiable) and use your imagination. I encourage you to try it your self.

Spring........At Last!!

2009-04-01T14:57:00.000-07:00

At last spring is apon us!! This has been a long winter for all of us , and I think every one has great joy that spring is here. Here in N.H. there are lots of green shoots poping up from the growned, even though we still have 1 foot of snow. There are some pictures below to show you all of God's great plants in N.H.

Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so.

Genesis 1:11

Embroidery (It Is So Much FUN)

2009-01-28T02:08:00.000-08:00

My mother introduced embroidery to me and I absolutely love it! Before I started I thought it was one of those crafts I would start and then quit after a week or so, but it isn't! I LOVE IT!!! All you need is embroidery floss, a needle, fabric, and a hoop. You can make your own design, like I did in one above, or you can purchase pre-made designs. I encourage you to try it.

Watch Were Your Going

2009-01-27T14:04:00.000-08:00

I was on one of my favorite blogs ( Girl Talk ) and found a post that really touched my heart. I can totally relate to it and am trying to follow its moral. I would like to share a part of it with you:

“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil” Ephesians 5:5-16

Look carefully. It’s a sobering command, is it not?We are not to trudge blindly or routinely through our days. We shouldn't’t just let life happen and try to deal with the results, be what they may. We should not allow one day to flow into the next, being concerned only with the present moment...................

If you would like to know more please visit Girl Talk. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

The Job of Woman

2009-01-27T10:00:00.000-08:00

“To marry and have children is the ideal life for a woman. What career could ever be as fine? To give the world splendid men and women—isn’t that the noblest thing a woman could possibly do?”

Jessie Wilcox Smith

I found this quote on my mothers blog and thought it was great! This IS the ambition I want to embrace.

Gratituesday-Mother

2009-01-26T17:32:00.000-08:00

I am so thankful for my mother. In the last month or so she has inspired me, taught me how to crochet, taught me how to embroider and taught me many more things on being a home maker and Christan young lady. Up until a few months ago, I am ashamed to say, I took my mother for granted. She had always been there and I was sure she would always be, but gradually I have come to the realization that I have the best mother, the one God chose for me long before I was ever born, and that our time together here on earth is finite. So I have been trying (I am not perfect ) to learn all that my mother has to teach me, to do all the things my mother says and do them the first time she asks. I hope that I will always remember the important roll of motherhood and cherish mine forever.

"Do not forsake your mother's teachings they will be a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck" Proverbs 1:9

How is your relationship with your mother?

Snow Shoeing on Thanksgiving

2008-12-11T12:13:00.000-08:00

Thanksgiving day we decided to go snow shoeing up in the experimental forest. It was BEAUTIFUL!! Mom, dad, and I all brought our cameras.....dad only took a picture of a leaf! Dad loves the outdoors, so every time he got ahead (which felt like every minute, because mom, Hannah, and I were collecting bows for our advent wreath) he looked out at at the sky.

Hannah and I decided to snow shoe.

Isn't it BEAUTIFUL!On the way back home we discovered 4 sets of animal tracks!

Can you guess what they are?

Indian Dress for Kit

2008-12-03T14:59:00.001-08:00

I am studying India , and had just read a paragraph in my history book about traditional dress when I had a great idea......I thought that it would be cool if I made an Indian dress for my doll, Kit. It was a great experience, and I thought I would share it with you.

Cutting It Out
First I went to Walmart and bought piece of fabric in a nice color of orange.
Then I cut it in half .

Wrapping .
First take one of the halves and wrap it around her waist 2 times. Now pinch 4 to 6 pleats.
Next I put a rubber band around Kit's waist to hold the fabric in place. (Indian women tuck the fabric into their petticoat.) You need to be careful not to unravel the pleats. Finally, I folded the fabric in half and brought it up under her left arm and over her right shoulder.

All Finished!!
I cut out a small red dot of felt and stuck it on Kit's forehead. This shows that an Indian woman is married.

2008-11-22T15:26:00.000-08:00

I just made some muffins, and they came out really good.

Rebekah's first bike ride

2008-10-17T18:19:00.000-07:00

Rebekah's first bike ride was interesting for ALL of us.She was packed in her carrier with toys, water, and snacks. She did well on the way there but there on the way home she was tired of the view,and got a little fussy. So we rushed back home, and were winded when we got there.All in all we all had a GREAT time!
