Summer is Here!

My favorite time of year is summer-the weather, fun day trips, the beach, spending time with friends, cook-outs, fire pits, s'mores, ahhh.  What are some of your favorite summer time activities?

The summer also gives me more time to get those creative juices going.  Nothing better than a rainy day stuck inside because then I get to spend the day sewing!  That’s where these guys came from…

My newest creation is putting my owls on shirts.  I love seeing the owls come to life on a shirt and I must say kids look super cute in them!  Below are some summer owls and shirts that I made recently.  If you want one for yourself or child just let me know I would be happy to accommodate your requests. 

               

Stay tuned for 2,000 fan appreciation giveaway!  One lucky person will get their own XL owl plushie.  Only 10 fans away!  Spread the word.  Thanks for all your support.

Earth Day-Hurray!!

Some of you may not know that I am a K-5 Technology Teacher 3 days a week and one of my favorite subjects to teach is environmental science.  This year I am even more excited to teach it thanks to The Lorax by Dr. Seuss.  This book can be used for any grade because of all the messages buried inside its pages.  I also highly recommend the movie, my 4 year old and I loved it.  The movie carries a very powerful message as well, "Let it Grow!"

As we are approaching Earth Day I thought I would take a moment to share some activities and websites that I use with my students and daughter.  Since I have so many I am going to limit it to some of my favorites.


Websites to visit:

• The Lorax Project
• Save the Trees Game-The Lorax
• Planet Pals
• StarFall 

Activities:

• Make a truffula tree using pipe cleaners and pom-poms.
• What would you say if you could speak for the trees?
• The Lorax Activity Book by Energy Star
• Get a Daily Lorax Activity
• Make an Earth Day Flag
• Do a clean-up outside-pick up trash, weed, etc.
• Plant a tree, garden, etc.
My daughter and I usually spend the day having a picnic lunch and picking up trash at the public playground near our house.  Every little bit helps!  Hope you find this information useful and enjoy your Earth Day!

Here comes Peter Cottontail...Easter Giveaway

This isn't quite the winter I imagined, so far no snow, no snow days, not even a delay!  My daughter is so bummed she didn't get to build a snowman or a snow angel.  The recent mild weather has me ready for spring, so I guess I am over the no snow blues.  The weather has also motivated me to create some new critters for spring...



Mini Bunny

Pink Rocker Minky Bunny

 

NEW Ballerina Owls

All the new critters would be perfect for an Easter basket!  Not to mention a great gift for all those spring baby showers.  A favorite bunny from last year that I created after my first pet bunny was Dusty. 

 

Returning Favorite-Dusty!

Don't miss out on your chance to win a Dusty in time for Easter!  All you have to do is visit La Fleur de Mon Coeur Boutique (she has the most precious newborn accessories and photo props ever) and read the rules.  There are so many other talented boutiques giving away items, make sure to check them all out.  Best of luck to you!  Can't wait to see who Dusty goes home with.
