When I sent in the little cases I had made to Quilting Arts Magazine for the "Glam-To-Go for Gadgets" article, they didn't use the case I actually spent the most time making. I think perhaps that it was either too froofy, made the article too long, or was for the outdated ipod classic rather than the new iphones. No worries. I'll show it here to you. You can get the article for free in the current eBook at QuiltingArts.com for instructions on making the cases. I'd love to show you here how to make the funky beaded fringe. Materials: Something to add fringe to: gadget case, scarf, your husbands favorite necktie. In any case it will need to have enough "oomph" to support the fringe. In this instance, the fringe will be supported by the satin stitched bottom edge of the case. For a scarf I like to add a tiny bit of cording or seam tape or ribbon (depending on the weight of the scarf) inside of a rolled hem. Beading thread (I love Nymo) and a beading needle (or a size 11 applique needle.) Seed beads and other larger beads. Make sure the holes in the larger beads are not so big that the seed beads sink into them. If they are you'll need to put medium beads next to the large holed beads. 1 - Make your knot. Thread your needle, bring it in through the case and out on the edge of the satin stitching. Leave the tail of the thread hanging out. Wrap the thread (not the tail end) three times around the tip of the needle, hold the wrap with your thumb and pull the needle through. You should have a secure knot now. I often make at least one more knot in close to the same place just to be extra secure. 2 - Load your beads onto the needle. Add seed beads until your fringe is about as long as you wish it to be then add your bigger bead and one more seed bead. The seed bead on the end is your anchor. Slide all of the beads to the end of the thread. 3 - Anchor your fringe. This is the only tricky part - and it really isn't hard. Slide that last seed bead away from the line of beads then send your needle right back through your whole line of beads. I find it easiest to do if I bend the line of beads over my finger, holding the thread taut. This lines up the beads in a row and holds the thread tight along the bottom of each hole. That way you have room to get the needle back up through the whole line. 4 - You might not be able to get the needle all the way through your line of beads in one shot. No worries. Just do it a bit at a time, holding that thread taught to it easier to slide the needle through. 5 - Push your needle into the satin stitching, right under your fringe and come out where you want the next fringe to start. Continue adding fringe until you think you're done. Notice here that my fringe isn't the same - I like it funky. Sometimes my big bead is in the middle, sometimes there are more seed beads on the end than just one anchor. Mix it up and make it fun. 6 - Make a knot right next to the last fringe in the same way you did at the beginning. In fact, make two knots. Come to think of it, make a knot and just keep going (not starting with a new thread each time) every three or four fringes just to be safe. I truly dislike the sound of a million tiny beads scattering across the floor as my child yanks on my fringes. At the end, after your last knot, send your needle up through the satin stitching and come out anywhere. Trim the tail off and you're done. There you have it. Next week I'll post a short tutorial on how to make the ribbon strap shown on the butterfly case so be sure to stop by again!

I think there is a set number of opportunities I will have to hold my baby. Maybe it’s 100 times, maybe 300, maybe more. But whatever that number may be, one day she will stop asking me to hold her, rock her, or stroke her hair as she drifts off to sleep. That thought makes tears rush to the corners of my eyes.

I'm linking up with Ashley again for her 10 pin linky! This weeks topic is Classroom management. Without further ado, here are my top 10 classroom managment pins (in random order, click the pictures to be taken to the source): 1. I really like this reflection page for kids who go to the cool down spot. It uses a lot of pictures which is great for all kids who are upset (the less words the better). It also doesn't have writing lines so it's easier to use with my 1st graders and 3rd graders. AND it would be an easy way to let parents know their child needed the cool down spot. I guess there is a lot I like about this! 2. The Hall of Fame for the clipchart is a great idea! It's easy to implement and it gives kids something to work for. This is also free! Go check it out :) 3. I am definitely going to make a compliment jar like this for next year! 4. Lining up was an issue this year in my room becuase of one child. To make things easier for me and the class, I am having them line up in number order every.single.time. In order to make this fair, I will rotate the number that starts. For example, the second week of school the class will get in line starting with #2 and #1 will be the last in line. The following week #3 will be the line leader and so on. I made this little clip chart for it that includes posters for lining up. 5. I started using Smart Beads last year when I only had 2 students participating. I will definitely being using them again! 6. To move away from the prize box, I bought the Best Behavior Catelog: 7. Next year, I will have 6 students with autism. That's a lot of individual schedules to set up! I plan on making schedule pages like this for each child. When something changes, I'll cross it out and write the change. The aides can set up the visual schedule using this. 8. I know you have all seen this...This challenge will be introduced DAY 1! 9. I'm terrible at keeping up with newletters and when you add in 3 different grade levels, forget it. It's never going to happen. Instead, I'm going to have my students write a letter to their parents every Friday telling them what they learned. 10. Finally, I love this substitute binder. I'm a little late with this so you can be too! Go over and join Ashley's party!
