Beyond the Nest 2012 - ARTS WEEK

Each Grade had to make a class nest

 

I made the base with wire and cotton reels, and then the children wove selveldges and scraps through to make our nest.

 

 

They were all amazing, and it was great for our final Assembly for the week, to see them presented to the school community.  A great display.
We had a wonderful week full of creating.
See more examples here.

 

 

And with a little bit of sunshine inbetween the showers, some lovely things happened in my garden too.

Knitting knitting knitting

 A tiny bit of quilting but . . .

 the most exciting thing is that I'm learning to use the Knitting Machine!

 Never thought I'd be able to work it out, but I'm giving it a "red hot go"

and my little canaries are busy making Spring Nests

Welcome to SPRING!

 We've made it through the Winter

New PJ Pants to celebrate

and feel very clever!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Queen of Knitting (My Mum) made me a Poncho on the knitting machine
I will model it next week and photograph
I bought the wool at the Farmers Market

 

Spring is definitely on it's way

YUMMY

 and some very fancy knitting

 even surprising myself

I needed to feel clever!

Yarn Obsessed

 I'm not sure if it's because my mother is staying and she is noteably the

Knitting Queen

 or because it is a particularly cold Winter

but I'm feeling rather "Yarn Obsessed"



Hurrying to the weekend!
