We're nearing the end of our Charlotte's Web novel study and I finally completed our hallway bulletin board displaying the projects we created during it... An important theme of Charlotte's Web is friendship, which we explored by writing "Friend" acrostic poems, shown on the right side of the board. The bottom of the board displays state fair brochures we designed. My favorite part of the board is the right side, titled "Word Weavers". I made a giant spiderweb out of yarn. The spiders were made using oaktag and student photos. I hotglued tiny bows to the girl spiders. Students decorated index cards with words to describe themselves, which their spiders are holding. Here's an up close look... Our families and friends had the opportunity to read our writing at the school Literature Fair. Our class theme was "Holiday Traditions". We spent about 4 weeks drafting, editing, writing, and decorating our personal narrative books. At the fair, students enjoyed reading a variety of genres, writing book reviews, munching on popcorn from a popcorn machine, and winning books at the end of the night... We're also nearing the end of our biography writing unit. Some of the biographies we wrote were about Theodor Giesel aka Dr. Seuss... and Rosa Parks... Our biography unit will end on Tuesday with our Biography Publishing Party where students will dress as their characters and read their reports to classmates and families. Happy learning!

to get over my hump of funk, i created a few happy things this weekend. i was thinking about the hundreds of frozen charlottes i’ve sold in my shop over the past year or so and the fact that…
Seems like it's been a while since I've had time to create anything other than pieces for art/craft fairs, so I finally made some time! The first two pieces are necklaces created from vintage spoons, resin, antique frozen charlotte doll heads, resin, and more! "Izabella" "Sweet Angel" And this was my first attempt at faux cupcakes! I couldn't just stop with a plain cake so I created a little compartment for Charlotte to rest in! She also wears a sterling silver crown made by the talented Beth Quinn. I hate to part with her, but I need to make more room around here! You can read more about these pieces HERE. And of course, if you need any antique doll parts for creations of your own I have them available HERE.
These Charlotte's Web book activities are print or digital. Third graders - reading comprehension, character study, and vocabulary.

Charlotte's Web These were the other cookies I did for my friend. Her other son read Charlotte's Web. I was a bit disapointed...
Looking back on architectural history, you could be forgiven for thinking that women were an invention of the 1950s, alongside spandex and power...
Bilder lyger ofte. Sånn som her. Godt kamuflert slitent og shabby barnerom. Faktisk meget shabby rom med trist, hullete og bulkete tapet. Absolutt moden for fornyelse - ifølge meg. Nordlendingen, som lider av både selektiv hørsel og syn, var ikke akkurat helt enig. Han så ikke at oppussing var en dyd av nødvendighet. Og akkurat nå skal jeg innrømme at jeg angrer på at jeg satte i gang med hele tapetrivingen. Det var liksom grådig vanskelig å få av de siste restene, så nå vurderer jeg å helsparkle vindusveggen i stedet. Sånn som de gjorde i Tid for hjem sist gang. Det så jo så lekende lett ut når Einaren gjorde det. Som har helsparklet vegger i 25 år. Jeg har vel strengt tatt bare sparklet et og annet spikerhull... Gulroten her er at nordlendingen har lovet at jeg kan få lov til å ta vekk det stygge laminatgulvet på barnerommet, etter jeg er ferdig med veggene. Under laminaten ligger nemlig vakkert tregulv som jeg har planer om å male som i loftsgangen. Det kommer til å bli riktig smashing:-) Her skal det sparkles! Legg gjerne igjen noen oppmuntrende kommentarer under her - det trengs....

If there’s one thing you need in your home office, it’s a bulletin board. Or a pin board, or whatever you call it. A place for inspiration! I just finished mine, and I’m SO happy …
play table | play chairs | picture light This pinboard was a SUPER easy DIY project and was incredibly inexpensive. It cost me about $15…much cheaper than this exact same size $169 Pottery Barn one that I used as inspiration! I put it in Wyatt’s playroom to display his artwork, but it can be used anywhere- a kitchen for all those miscellaneous papers, pictures & coupons, an office or even a bedroom. Materials: 1″-1.5″ Foam Board Insulation cut to your desired size...

One room that has had me stumped since we renovated our home is the office. It doubles as our guest room and stores a lot of misc things for us. I needed a project that could jump-start my vision for this space and when I saw DIY Pin Boards on Pinterest I had to take them on. This is a great project because it’s EASY, CHEAP (less than $25), and versatile.
I finally finished my pin board!!!! It turned out better than I expected. Yeah!! If you follow me on Facebook you know I've had a few bumps along my pin board path. First, the photo below was my inspiration for my pin board. I was going to make a custom shape to fit my space and just wrap the fabric around it and use nail head trim to repeat the shape. But when I got serious about cutting out the shape I just couldn't get a polished picture in my mind. I was afraid it would not look right. So, down to the basement I went looking for something to spark a new idea! (Yes, I realize this seems like my basement must be from an episode of Hoarders, but it's not, well my husband might say different.) Anyways I found this huge old frame I had bought at DI a few years ago!! This frame is 30" x 42", good sized. Mind you it's not much to look at with this old sloppily painted canvas complete with some sticky substance that ran all the way down the front. I was not planning on using the canvas so no problem. I did see beauty in the frame, although it too had some problems. Besides being dirty, and covered with the sticky substance in spots, the filigree was missing in two corners and a few spots on one edge. But I was up for the challenge!! Here is what I did. First, I took out the ugly old picture and cleaned the frame with some soapy water and an old tooth brush. Next, I used DryDex Spackling and filled in the voids on the frame. I tried to carve it as it dried. Not really sure you could call it carving, more like pushing it around with odd tools and my fingers. Then I waited for it to dry. (See inset photos above.) I thought it worked pretty good, but I was really convinced after I saw it primed and painted. With a new shiny coat of Krylon silver spray paint the frame was really looking nice and rich , but I wanted to bump it up a bit. I used a Black Apple Barrel Acrylic Paint mixed with a glaze on the small filigree strip and carved edge. Are you just loving it? (Check out the mended corner in the photo above! Hard to tell don't you think?) Let's leave the frame and move onto the pinning part of the venture. I cut a piece of half inch card board that came off the back of the book shelf we bought for the built-ins. Go here to see it. That means it was free!!! I then bought a package of 4 cork squares for $9. I also snagged this great gray curtain from Target on clearance for $9. Once I had all my supplies I started to assemble the pin board. I glued the 4 Cork Sheets onto my card board base. I used a small left over piece of rolled cork my neighbor gave me to finish it off. I covered the cork and cardboard base with my great curtain find. The curtain is nubby linen like material which makes it easy to push pins in and leaves no holes in the material. On the other hand this loose weave made me nervous that it wouldn't hold when stapling it. My free solution? I cut the cardboard that came with the curtain into small strips to staple through for a stronger hold. (See below) After it was all covered I popped it in the frame and realized the covered board was sticking out the back about 1/4 inch. Solution: I added thin scraps of bead board to give me a more level surface on the back. Now I just had to install my lovely new creation!! Simple, right? No! My choice was to use Command Velcro strips. Worked great for about 1 minute! Then it just fell off the wall onto the desk. Popping off the newly fixed corners!! I wanted to cry!!! (Insert sad face) Apparently the back was still not flat enough. I wanted this board firmly mounted so I could use it with out the whole thing moving around on the wall. After brainstorming with my brilliant husband we just tacked it to the studs with the nail gun. We nailed into the narrow filigree strip and you couldn't even see the nails; no touch up needed. As for the broken corners, they actually popped off in one piece making it easy to glue them back on and touch up with a little bit of paint!! (See below, I dare you to find where I fixed it the second time!) To finish off the space I added this gray Simplify sign. Which my great neighbor Shelley gave me, go here to see how she made it. Now lets just take a gander at this lovely new pin board up close and personal! I love how my neighbor Shelley organized her projects ideas on her pin board so I organized mine in a similar fashion. (Yes, it's fun having great neighbors.) I'm very happy with the finished project, even though it was not my original idea. Just shows that going with the flow can be the best option. It's so big and pretty and functional. Comments? What do you think? Can you tell which corners I fixed? Would love to hear if you have made a pin board. I'm so close to getting done with this office!
