Mr. and Mrs. Pillowcases

This morning I took a bit of time to work on a project that I've had in mind to do for a while- Mr. and Mrs. pillowcases!  Whenever we take our own pillows on a trip I alway attach a clothes pin to my pillow because otherwise I can't tell mine and Bryce's a part.  I dearly love my husband but I'm very attached to my pillow!  I thought of taking them to be monogrammed but I decided to try my hand at embroidering them.  I love how they turned out!

Are the stitches even and perfect?  Not even close, but I sort of love the homemade look of them!  The project took me a little over an hour to complete and now I'm thinking of all the other pillowcases I want to make.  Wouldn't they be a fun wedding shower gift?

An Amelia Earhart project

Grace recently had to do a small research project on a hero.  The project was called a "bio-can" and it was a really clever and engaging project that I think would work in lots of different applications.  The object was to take a can (such as an oat can), decorate it to look like the hero and then fill the can with several objects that represents the heroes life.

Grace chose Amelia Earhart for her project.  She filled the can with a paper airplane, a woman and a nurses hat.  She will present her can and do a short oral report later this week.  Didn't she turn out cute?

P.S.  That's supposed to be a pilots hat with ear flaps!
