First off, let me just say that this blog HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE! Been so busy with school for the past few months that I had to go on hiatus for a little while. Anywaaaay, in my previous post Horny Girls, we had a little photoshoot showcasing our below P100 DIY costume which won in our Fine Arts - Mindworks costume parade. Haha. And as promised, I will be showing you the DIY Tutorial I used as guide to make my horns + my DIY on how I created mine. And how timely, Maleficent the movie is coming up! SO HERE IT IS: Horns tutorial by MonkeyNumber5 Initially I had planned on making the horns out of a wire armature + paper mache. But I imagined it would be heavy and I didn't have the time and patience to work with wire; the parade was in 2 days, bub. So I looked for a lightweight alternative and ta-da I found this clever tutorial! So I followed the tutorial, adding my own design to the horns. I wanted something that looked tough, like the horns of a Taurus or the Chicago Bulls. But I also wanted it to be feminine at the same time. So I gave my horns 2 body curves and a sharp tip. The bigger segments were easier to do compared to the smaller ones. When the curve got sharper, I had to do trial and error until I was contented. This is the result: Best part is they're hollow and lightweight! And then I painted them with a black latex base. The bulk of the time making this was spent on trial-and-error ing the angle of each segment. Total work hours estimate: 3 hours If you like your horns that way, you can stop there. But I wanted to add texture to my horns so it would appear to blend in with the hair. So I cut some fiberfill (stuff used to stuff pillows) strips and glued them on each segment. Tried a different editing style with this photo. So after I layered the fiberfill, I spray painted it black for the final look. The color and texture is intended to imitate hair. Now you can sew them unto a headband if you have the time. I didn't, so the quickest thing I could find at home were tie wires. I tied them tight into the headband. Much better though if the wires were the same color as the headband. But it didn't bother me since it was going to be covered with hair anyway. And yes, that is a headband that is shaped like eyeglasses; pretty advantageous for this improvised design, so the tie wire has more to grab on. And that's it! The method is pretty simple and the possibilities are limitless with what you can create. Next time betches, Shari

do you remember this? Ana asked me about the pattern for it, so here you go: horn 1 - make a double ring with 5 sc 2 - m2, sc4 3 - sc1, m2, sc4 4 - sc1, m2 x2, sc2, sc2tog 5 - sc2, m2, sc5 6 - sc3, m2 x2, sc3, sc2tog (from now on the decreases will always cross the first stitch of the new/next round, don't worry, just start the new round after the decrease like nothing happend) 7 - sc3, m2, sc6 8 - sc4, m2 x2, sc4, sc2tog 9 - sc4, m2, sc7 10 - sc5, m2 x2, sc5, sc2tog 11 - sc5, m2, sc8 12 - sc6, m2 x2, sc6, sc2tog 13 - sc6, m2, sc9 14 - sc7, m2 x2, sc7, sc2tog 15 - sc7, m2, sc10 16 - sc8, m2 x2, sc8, sc2tog 17 - sc8, m2, sc11 (with a 3,5 mm hook my horn was about 6,5 cm long, there is a rhythm after row 8 that you can easily recognize and that allows you to elongate and enlarge the horn as wide as you like) you might remember this beginning of a seahorse as well. I finally finished it, yay! pictures will follow in the next days. I also started thinking about a new cardigan. I choose the blue silk/wool blend pictured here. I was first thinking about the golden yellow but prefer the blue now. It's a single ply and winding it into a ball I immediately saw it's not a good yarn to frog which means I cannot allow myself alot of trial and error with this cardigan. The issue is I only know that I want 3/4 sleeves and buttons. I want a back motif similar to Sylvie, but of course not Sylvie. And I have no idea about the cleavage - do I want one? a turtle neck? a low neckline? noooo idea! ________ before I forget, it would be cool to see what you make of the horn pattern, as I mentioned before I can imagine it in alot of different purposes like alien feet, bird beeks, tails?

How to get rid of tomato hornworms naturally, with this kitchen baking staple.

This is week 23 in the Life of David series. It is found in 2 Samuel 11-12. The application worksheet will discuss the 10 commandments and you can teach as in-depth as you want for your class. David was the king of Israel and was staying in Jerusalem. He was out walking on the roof of the king’s palace one evening. He saw a woman taking a bath and she was very beautiful. David asked about her and was told “Her name is Bathsheba, and she is married to Uriah the Hittite.” David sent for Bathsheba and spent time with her. She became pregnant and sent the message to David. David told Joab to send Uriah to him. Joab was over David’s army (2 Samuel 8:16). Uriah came to David, and they discussed the army and David asked how the war was going. Then David told Uriah to go home; but he didn’t. Uriah stayed with the servants at the palace. The servants told David and he asked Uriah about it. Uriah said he couldn’t go sleep comfortably in his house with his wife while the army is sleeping in open fields. When David’s suggestions didn’t work to talk Uriah into going home with Bathsheba, David sent him back to the army with a letter for Joab. In the letter, David told Joab to send Uriah to the part of battle where the hardest, fiercest fighting was happening. Then, fall back so he would be injured and die. When they were taking over the city, Joab placed Uriah is the most valiant men were fighting. Some of the men died, including Uriah. When Bathsheba heard that Uriah had died in the battle, she mourned him. When the mourning time was over, David sent for her and married her. She had a son, but God was not happy with the things David had done. God sent Nathan to see David and he told David a story. “There were two men in a city. One was rich and one was poor. The rich man had a lot of animals. The poor man didn’t have anything except one little lamb. He bought that lamb and fed it and the little lamb grew up with him and his children. The little lamb ate of his own food and drank from his own cup. The poor man held the lamb, and it was like a daughter to him. A traveler went to the rich man for food. The rich man refused to take one of his own animals to give to the traveling man. The rich man took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for the traveling man to eat.” David was so angry when he heard what the rich man did in Nathan’s story! He said “Who is this man? He will surely die! And he will give back four times the lamb because he did this without any pity!” Nathan told David that he was the man! “God said He anointed you king over Israel, and He saved you from Saul. God has given you everything and if that wasn’t enough, He would have given you more! Why have you ignored the commandment and killed Uriah? You have killed Uriah and taken his wife to be your wife!” David told Nathan “I have sinned.” Nathan told David that because of this sin, the child that was just born will die. Nathan left and David and Bathsheba’s son became sick. David pleaded and begged God to save the baby. He fasted (didn’t eat) for seven days and the baby died. David cleaned himself up and ate again. David comforted Bathsheba and she had another baby boy and they named him Solomon. He will be the next king after David. The printables for David in this series are for an older age group than I usually post. Most of these lessons about David are not appropriate for early elementary. But David is a great study. So, as you can see from the above picture, there is a Q&A. This could be used with younger groups by using the answer sheet and just asking the questions for discussion. Each post in this series will have a maze and some type of puzzle. The additional application has thought questions about how the students can apply the lesson to their daily life. There are answer sheets for all worksheets. The application worksheet for this pack discusses the 10 commandments. Nathan asked David why he ignored the commandment (which he actually disobeyed 2 of them) and this brings the commandments into the application. This can be as quick or in-depth as you care to teach them. The basic answers are included; but please be ready to have some scenarios ready for discussion. Click here to download.

... habe ich schon mal als meine Kinder noch klein waren - nun habe ich die Anleitung für diese Waldorfschafe im WWW wieder entdeckt und zwar hier: http://www.waldorfwilhelmsburg.de/front_content.php?idcat=121 Schwarznasenschafe nach leicht abgeänderter Anleitung: Hinterbeine ausstopfen, Vorderbeine schließen und weiter ausstopfen - Bauch schließen.
