Teacher Gifts

Well, since I homeschool my kids, we don’t make Teacher gifts.  We make AWANA Leader gifts. 

These squatty pillar candles are dressed up with pushpins and sewing pins.

Mason Jar Sewing kit

Altered Clipboard and Journal

Usually I decoupage paper to the back of the clipboard. This time I stamped and used embossing powder.  I would think this is way more durable than the paper.  It would probably be even better to paint and then stamp/emboss. 

Penguin Paradise Cards

I love Stampin’ Up’s Penguin Paradise set – especially the hula-dancing penguin.

Listen to the Animals Devotional Book

Based on the book by William L. Coleman
Everyday we read a devotional discussing God’s creation – animals.  Every day we studied a verse, an animal, and a character trait.

Little denim bag

The purse is made from the cuff of a VERY worn pair of jeans. 
I cheated with the pocket – fabric glue is amazing!

Thanks to Faye this is my first and last attempt at Pyzanki (Ukranian) Eggs

Disney Cruise Craft: Mickey Mouse Hands

Did I mention Irene and I started this project the night before we left for the cruise?!?

This is a left hand. 

This was a fast and dirty job.  Trace, cut with a generous seam allowance. 
Sew on the lines. 


Only sew on the trace lines.  Leave the wrist part unsewn.


Turn glove inside out. 
The next step is the tricky part:

Sew along the remaining wrist sections.
Fold wrist section up.  And you should get something which looks like this:

The pattern for the left and right hand side are the same.  Just put the black felt pieces on the appropriate side. 

There were 18 people in our Disney Cruise Group. 
DID I MENTION IRENE AND I STARTED THIS PROJECT THE NIGHT BEFORE WE LEFT?!?


Update:
Here is a scan of the pattern Irene made.  Print on 8.5x11 paper and tape together at dotted line A.

DIY planner

I made this planner to be the size of a business envelope.  I really love spaces to make lists.  I need the lists more than I need the calendar.  It had a list for meal planning, shopping, school activities, computer to-do, house to-do.  The envelope is handy for tucking in reminder slips, receipts, the odd postage stamp. 

The only downside was bulkiness.  It didn’t fit in my purse.
