(The join down the middle is because the paper is too big for the scanner so we have to scan it in sections and merge it)

Eden's got the Secret Seven bug

We bought Eden a Secret Seven book, and after finishing it, she took more out at the library. We enjoyed watching how much she enjoyed reading the book, especially when she tried to solve the mystery herself. There are lots more in the series so I am sure she will be reading these for a while.

The Iron Man - Book and Sketch

I have just finished reading this book, and I drew the picture of the iron giant from the story. You can't see his eye in the picture, because he fell off a cliff and he broke.

A scented pouch

One of my Christmas presents was a sewing kit, and I sewed this pouch. Mom gave me some lavender to put in it, and it is next to my bed to make the room smell nice. I really enjoyed sewing it and look forward to doing some more from the kit.

Painting Van Gogh style - acrylic paint

The girls have been studying van Gogh, and came across this exercise to copy his style using thick paint mixed with glue and thick swirly paint techniques like the one he often used in his paintings.
