Crochet Cat

Hi everyone, I've been getting into crochet, and I have made a crochet cat! Here's a picture and instructions on how to make it.

:Instructions:
Take the yarn that you want to use for the body, and do the chain stitch until it's twice the width you want it to be, with a few extra stitches in there, then make that a loop. Then just keep adding rows to it until it's as tall as you want. Tie off the yarn, it should look like a tube. Taking yarn and a yarn needle sew up one end of the tube, then you will need some cloth that's the same color as the yarn, or at least close to it. And make a pouch big enough to fit inside your tube, fill the pouch up with stuffing and sew up the top of the pouch, then put the pouch in the tube you made, and sew up the top. Then, take some yarn you want the ears to be, and crochet it into the shape of an ear, ( you might have to sew part of it to make it the right shape. ) and make another one that looks the same as the first one, and sew them on the top of the body. Then take some different colored yarn, and embroider the eyes, nose, mouth, and the extra little things. You can also use buttons for the eyes. And ta da! You now have a crochet stuffed animal. (:

School part 3

The picture to the left is of my index card holder. It's very easy to decorate. All you need is.....

1. An index card holder
2. Stickers :D

Simply cover the front of your index card holder in stickers! And if you get one like mine. Get a rubber band to keep your index card holder closed.

School Part 2

Another thing you can use for school. A pencil cup! To make this just get...

1. A jar the size you want your pencil cup to be
2. Duct tape ( There are all sorts of colors and printed duct tape )
3. Scissors

Take the jar and put it on a table. Next take the duct tape and wrap it around the jar one time at the bottom of the jar, now cut the duct tape. Now wrap it around just above the first one without over lapping to much. Cut the duct tape. Keep repeating until the jar is completely covered on the outside. Now all you have to do is just put in your pencils and pens in the jar!

School Part 1

I'm starting school tomorrow :( . So I thought I would post pictures of some of my redecorated school stuff :D . The picture to the left is of all of the things I redecorated for school besides my notebooks. The box is my locker, I'm home schooled so I don't have an actual locker. All you need to make your own locker is.....
1. A box the size you want your locker to be (Make sure it has the top of the box too!)
2. Scissors
3. ( optional ) Markers, glitter

First take the scissors and cut a flap like the picture below, on the top of the box.
Then you put the top back on the box. And then you can decorate it if you want :) . I'm going to be posting things you can redecorate to use for school over the next few days. So keep coming back to see them!

Dork diaries Tales from a Not-so-Talented Pop Star

I finished reading the book called Dork Diaries Tales from a Not-so-Talented Pop Star. It's super good. It is the third in the dork diaries series. The first one is called Dork Diaries Tales from a Not-so-Fabulous Life. And the second one is called Dork Diaries Tales from a Not-so-Popular Party Girl. They are all super good and super funny! The Dork Diaries Tales from a not-so-talented pop star, Is at Nikki's school there is going to be a talent show. With super cool prizes like being on an actual TV for 15 minutes! And a scholarship to the school. So Nikki forms a band to win the scholarship. It was going to be so easy to win the scholarship. But then Mackenzie is there to make things hard for Nikki. Again. Get the book to read the rest! And the person who writes the Dork Diarie books. Here is her website for the books. It's SUPER cool. www.dorkdiaries.com

Smurftastic!

The smurf movie is coming out in theaters later this month ( July 29 ). So different places have been getting smurfed. Build-a-bear is now selling different smurfs ( Smurfette, Clumsy, Papa smurf, Brainy, and the new one Gusty ). On webkinz you will see floating smurfs going across the screen, and if you click on one of the smurfs you will get an enchanted berry.

Bugs (again)

I noticed that the Books of the month page dissapeared. I have added Junes book of the month, which is 'Lucy out of Bounds'. And I have put the page back up, It had been saved as a draft so I didn't have to make a new one. :-)

And here is what is on the back of the book Lucy out of Bounds.

It seems like everybody's got it in for Lucy! Mora's gone boy-crazy for J.J. and will stop at nothing to cut Lucy's friendship with him out the the picture; a land developer wants the soccer field, and the town council just might take him up on it; and a wildcat is stalking Lucy's house cats. Worst of all, she's in trouble with her dad. Where can Lucy turn when it seems like nothing's going right?

Picture

I was going to put a picture I drew on here. But for some reason it won't save onto the computer :-/ . So here is a picture of a super cute and super sweet kitten.

Bugs

Sorry if there have been any problems when you've been on my blog. Blogger has been having some glitches, so if you find something weird going on, just refresh the page and it should make it go back to normal. ;-) And if you live close to where I live you will be hearing this really weird noise when your outside. Those are super weird noises from these bugs that hibernate for 13 years! And when they come out they try to have as many eggs as possible. And their only out for a few weeks! Not even a whole season. And those bugs are great! If you like fishing. Someone used those bugs as bait and caught 17 catfish! And if you have chickens, and you put a bug in the chicken pen. That bug will only last a second.

Drawing

This is a drawing of Rapunzal from the movie Tangled.

Chicken war

There is a war going on at my house. A war between our rooster George, and my Dad. This is true. George is attacking my Dad, normally when he is wearing shorts and flip flops. So now I can't go into our chicken pen.

Blog Post

Our chicks now have all their feathers and they are so CUTE! They are in our chicken pen now, but they are in a corner since they aren't old enough to roost yet. My guinea pig Blackberry just got her hay rack upgraded it now looks like there is a tent on there. And I got her some new toys, she loves ringing her bell! I'm going to see if I can get some pictures soon. We got a new laptop so it's going to take a while to figure everything out. :-)

Chicks!

If you remeber my post from a long time ago about our chickens, were hatching some more baby chickens!!!!!!!!! If all of them hatch we will have a little over 2 DOZEN little baby chicks! They are in the inqubator right now, but on thursday or friday they will hatch! I will try to get pics. soon.

Spring!

Ok I know this is a little early to be saying "It's spring!" But I didn't have to wear a coat today so I'm saying it's spring. Me and two of my friends were walking across this tree that had fallen. Most of the tree wasn't on the ground, It had been where the tree was a fourth of a way up a small hill and at the bottem of the hill it went up into another hill. We got to where we could almost run across that tree, which was super hard for me because I was still wearing the shoes I went to church in, my mom says those shoes will be the death of me, because everytime I where them I trip but I hardly ever hit the ground because i'm good at catching myself. And for the book of the month I'm going to start doing those at the end of the month now.

:P

Winter is here........And if you live where I live, you probobly wish that winter would just go already! With snow lasting a whole week when it normaly last only a few hours. With ice an inch thick on the road in front of our house, well long story short we want spring and 6 cars ended up in the ditch close to our house. But everyone was safe :-).

Woo Hoo!

Today it snowed! But we cant build anything, and I don't know where the camera is so I can't take pictures. But we got 5 inch. of snow! My cat furball LOVES playing in the snow, when it snows, she runs through the snow and jumping it's very funny to watch. She has a completly diffrent opinion on snow compared to Andy. Andy hates snow, so he stays on a chair that didn't get any snow on it. And the chickens freaked out when the snow coverd their whole chicken pen, they were flying up trying not to touch the snow, But since chickens can't fly that well, the chickens would land in the snow, and slide a little bit when they landed lol. And I'm making a list on this post to say what not to do when your out in the snow. ;)

What not do to when you are outside in the snow.
1. Do not trip...........................If you do the make a snow angel! Your already wet so it's a perfect excuse to make snow angels.
2. Do not run in the snow....................... If you do just read the one above this one. ^


As you can tell I did both of those. I ran then poof I was in the snow. I wish I could have seen it when I fell, because when I got up I saw some snow falling around were I was at. When it wasn't snowing lol .
