Paint and Pens #5

Is there any way that blogging has helped your blogging skill now or in the past? I actually would have never started this blog had it not been for school!

How much time a day does school take you? Um, well I start at 8 then go till 10 (A.M. btw) I take a little break then start back up again at 1 and go till 3!

Are you looking forward to seeing more friends during the school year? Definitely!

What are you most looking forward to this school year? I get to write a book this year for writing, so probably that!

What are your overall thoughts on school? A challenge, can be fun at times!

My Questions!

I mostly just rewrote all of the above questions but I did make a few new ones!

When is/was you first day of school?
Are you homeschooled or do you go to school?
What extra activity’s will you be doing this school year?
Will you play any sports?
Favorite subject?
Least favorite subject?
Best subject?

Paint and Pens Episode #4!

September 4, 2017Inspiration15 Comments

Oh wow I can’t believe that it is #4 already! Time has just flown!

Welcome back to the next episode of Paint and Pens! Today we are going to use some old book pages and soft thread to make a really beautiful ATC!

Note: Please prepare one 2 1/2″ by 3 1/2″ piece of cardstock, an old book page, a large-eye needle, and some embroidery floss for today’s episode.

First cut or tear a small piece of the book page to fit the piece of cardstock

My book page was taken from an old Little House book!

Next glue on the piece of book page!

Thread your large-eye needle with the embroidery floss.

Begin sewing with the overcast stitch around the edge, you could also do the blanket stitch if you prefer!

I like to keep my stitches about 1/8 to 1/4 apart!

Keep “sewing” until you reach the other side of the card.

And here is the finished ATC!

I’ve updated my Paint and Pens and Artist Trading Cards pages! Go check them out!

Hello everyone! Megan let me join her BIBPC contest (long story made short: Someone dropped out of the contest and Megan kindly let me enter)

Anyway…………..

The theme was celebration, so here is my photo, the celebration of the fair! And no, I do not own a drone, or an airplane, but I did ride the Farris Wheel and got the picture from the tip-top of the wheel!

Here are some more photo’s of the fair:

I also did flower arranging at the fair, they have this on the spot free, flower arranging contest for kids 9-13, they have a senior group for 14-18, and they have a 0-8 group for the younger kids!

I won 5th place for the 9-13 group!

Here is a photo of me with my arrangement:
