Fox Wooble

 A few friends and I got together to try crocheting, which is definitely not my thing. I spent about 6 hours creating this little guy, and it was only my inability to stop a project once I've started that made me finish.

Learning to Watercolor

 

My sweet sister bought me a "Learn to Watercolor Nature" book for my birthday, along with a watercolor palette. I've been practicing and am a bit proud of my work so far! That caterpillar is too cute. I've got him framed in my new craft room. 

Playing around with the set inspired me to pull out my Let's Make Art kits I haven't practiced in awhile. Here are a couple foxes I painted. These use liquid watercolor paint, which I am prone to overusing until the paper is soggy, but I'm learning to be happy with what I create. 

Dr. Seuss Day

Everyone at school knows that my favorite days in class are pajama days and dress-up-as-a-character ones. Dr. Seuss Day (March 2) definitely falls in that category, as my school is lucky enough to have Dr. Seuss Character Day. This year I was a zebra, from On Beyond Zebra (a book which totally blew the minds of my 2nd graders, btw). Here is a look back on my previous years' costumes.
