Reluctant readers will love this activity to be done with Sh Sh Sh Let the Baby Sleep! Laminate and tape several consonant blends to the floor. The ones featured in the book are Sh, Br, Th, Ch, Gr. Create aword basket at the end that uses the same blend. Start each child with a beanbag or pair of rolled up socks. With feet together, they jump on each blend and say the sound as they land. Then they throw the beanbag into the basket and read the word. They retrieve the beanbag, give it to the next child in line and sit at the end of the line. When all the groups are finished, they rotate to the next blend. Variations: Leave the word off the basket and ask the children to come up with their own word. ex. ship, shot, shy, shape, shut, etc. This activity works great with vowel sounds too!
How to hand quilt in 3 easy steps! In this blog and video tutorial I'll list out all of the supplies you need and show you how simple hand quilting is!
I love sewing projects that use pre-cut fabrics but I often have a handful of leftovers pieces that I’m not sure what to do with. That’s why I designed this easy basket that you can sew with 10’’ layer cake squares! It’s a fast and easy to sew fabric basket that’s reversible too.
This is a great super, fun and easy tote bag tutorial that you will want to make over and over again! (updated 04/18/2014) Please read entire instructions prior to cutting fabric or starting. What you need is: 1/2 yd of 2 different fabrics 2 yds coordinating webbing 2 pieces batting, thin like warm and natural 15"x 10" -not meant to cover whole bag From these items you want to cut you're fabric into these measurements: 2 pieces batting (thin like warm and natural) 15"length x 10" wide 2 bag pieces 15"length (left to right if using directional) x 20.5"wide (up and down) 2 pocket pieces 15"length x 16.5" wide cut webbing into two 1 yd pieces Now you're ready to start! First fold pocket piece in half and press, then you're going to layer your pieces You should have 2 sets of these sandwich like sets.. Next take one set and pin one of the webbing yards, to make the straps. Starting at the bottom leave about 4" between each strap. do this to the other set, so both look like this.. Now you're going to stitch the strap to all 3 layers, starting at one cut end of webbing, sewing along the edge of the strap. You will stitch pass the pocket and up to where your batting edge ends. (this will allow the fabric to show at the top above the pocket when finished) Pivot your bag with needle down and sew the other edge of the strap back down to where you started. This will tack down both edges of this strap. Repeat this to other side of strap on same side of bag your working on. Repeat to other bag side. Once both are complete you are half way DONE! Now layer the 2 bag sides one on top of each other right sides together. At this point your straps are loose on the inside of the bag, just make sure to keep them out of the way, when you sew. Pin together leaving a 5" opening at the top center. (remember sewn straps are at the bottom of the bag) Stitch 1/2 inch around all 4 sides. Remembering to leave a 5" opening. Now you're going to shape corners of bag and lining. (bit tricky) You're going to open up the corner and press it down so it looks like this. then pin it and measure 2" from the point and about 4" across and sew along that 4". Do this to all 4 corners. Does you're bag look like this? (TIP before you cut the corners I would make sure that the lining fits great, just in case you need to make some adjustments...I'm talking from experience) NOW slowly turn it inside out, and if you're lining sits great, then go ahead and cut the corners. You can now stitch closed the lining (the 5" opening) with a small stitch.. and lastly you're going to top stitch the top of the bag...Remember you're top stitching so make a bigger size stitch, like a 4.0 would be great.. isn't this cute? my friend made this one for her little girl.. even her inside looks so professional.. Now both of these bags used the same pattern, but obviously they turned out a little different..(I think my bag measurements were a little off.. to my defense it was about 7pm and my brain shuts off at 5p...) but they both still look good. so with that said if you bag comes out a little bigger or smaller it will still do it's job and know one will know but you.. Go and make some and send me pictures. I would love to see what you can create! My elephants bag was made from Daiwabo Japan Fabric, Tip Top Elephant Walk grey, lightweight Cotton canvas and zag stripe chevron in pink. Friends bag made from Patty Young Sanctuary line, Aromatherapy sherbet and glass tiles sherbet from lining.. all fabric can be found HERE and batting and webbing can be found at any local fabric shop. I got mine from jo-anns. Our bags finished size (yours could come out slightly different) width 13.5" height 10.5" including handle 16" high depth 4"..

It is hard to believe it has been 3 years since I started making story baskets (I did make them 20 years ago but returned to them) and had a viral post for them. There were 3 mistakes that I made and I am sharing them so you can avoid them! #1 I made story baskets for the stories I loved! When I first started, I reached for the books I loved and had ‘BIG’ ideas for what to put in the story basket. The ones I was requested to read 100 times a day did not interest me BUT I soon learnt it wasn’t ab

Do you utilize math rotations in your classroom? Math centers are a great way to incorporate independence and corporative learning skills. It gives you time to work with students one on one or in small groups with skills they are struggling with. I know it can be overwhelming to get started with centers, especially if ...

Happy Blogiversary to Pink Doxies! Six years of color-filled posts shared with friends and family, laughter, tears, and lots and lots of love! Thank you all for being part of my world, and letting me into yours. I am truly blessed! I have to say it. Time is flying by! It's been 6 years since my first post, and though I'm still a quilter, I'm a changed quilter now. (Maybe a butterfly quilt was more than apropos.) Most of my time is spent longarm quilting for others, and I've been especially swamped during the recent Covid-19 period. I've been so tickled just seeing the range of gorgeous quilts come into my studio, and love that I get to add my ideas to them. Like magic, I transform the top, back, and batting into the actual quilt! Well, not quite that fast, but it's still a pretty cool job, I admit. This beautiful applique quilt is a pattern called Butterflies by Edyta Sitar made by local quilter Rita Darr. The colors are sublime, but I barely noticed them until I was done with the quilting. To me, it was one butterfly at a time, working my way through, and focusing on each shape. Pebbles and swirls, pebbles and swirls, and watch for those antennae! When I was finished, I stood back to take it all in. Only then could I say, "Wow!" It's often that I need to sort out the details before I can enjoy the big picture. Work before play? Perhaps. The Catch Up I've been a busy bee behind the scenes through July, and beg forgiveness for not sharing with you. Our new solitary lifestyles have forced each of us to evaluate how we live, and I've mulled over many areas. Realizing that Covid was here to stay meant not having a stream of in-person sewing days for a while or really knowing when they might resume at all. The studio has slowly been converted from a gathering space to a recording space. I'm moving toward connecting and teaching digitally vs. in person, and oh, what a challenge that actually is! Maybe you'll pop in here one day soon, and see a video link to the day's blog content. There have been hours of practice involved, and one day I'll have to actually publish something. Terrifying! Don't you feel like we've all had to grow so much in the past months? Not unlike a caterpillar safely wrapped in a self-made cocoon, each of us has changed. Breaking out, and spreading our wings is in our reach. How each of us does this depends on our own needs, but we still need to think of ways to connect with other people, and find things that feed our souls. I hope you you are actively thinking of ways to support yourself emotionally as well as physically. Tune in to your senses, and follow your instincts. Find your flower. Come on, Doxie girls. Let's go sew.
