Hello Friends! I am playing in ArtJoyStuff's ATC swap, the theme of which is "Masked Beauty". I love Art Deco Halloween images and thought this one would fit the theme just right: I used some spidery paper as the background and edged the card with washi tape. I made each one a bit different, just cuz. Yay! It's October!! Another reason I like October is because it is my birthday month! And that means guilt-free shopping all month long ;) Here are some Art Deco freebies for your own use: Click to enlarge, right click and save! More Friday fun to be had at Fabulously Creative Friday!

I read the parenting book Love and Logic a million years ago when I was a young parent, and loved the whole "natural consequences" approach. When I started teaching, I read the Love and Logic teaching book, and LOVED it. I knew that I didn't like using rewards and punishment, that I didn't like the feel of my classroom when everyone was concerned about if they were going to get a sticker or a point...or lose one. I always believed that building relationships with kids is the key to good behavior. A couple of summers ago, a few teachers from my school and I took a class about it. It was great to have a refresher! I created a "cheat sheet" to help me keep on track.

Here is a wardrobe essential for any baby, kid and teenager (yes, teenager!), as well as a stash-busting knitter’s best friend: a simple, clean, well-fitting sweater, with crisp jogless stripes (you will LOVE the simple technique I recommend in the pattern). With its extended sizing (12 sizes are included!), this pattern is full of tips, crystal-clear techniques and links to helpful video tutorials to achieve a truly well-finished project. And did I mention the 12 sizes? My inspiration for this design was the “marinière”, or Breton shirt, and being French with family ties to Brittany, I wanted to present you with my version of this unisex wardrobe staple. “Crozon” refers to the Presqu’île de Crozon, an enchanting peninsula on France’s Atlantic coast, in beautiful and wild Brittany. I spent many summers in this incredible place growing up and wanted to pay hommage to it. ~~ PATTERN NOTES: This sweater is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down, with some short row shaping below the neck band. At underarm level, the sleeves are separated from the body, and worked in the round, as is the body. Stripes are worked throughout the yoke, body and sleeves. SKILLS REQUIRED: Casting on, knitting, purling, increasing, decreasing, knitting in the round, working with 2 colors, picking up stitches, short rows (detailed instructions and links to tutorials provided), binding off.
