I know this is not the best picture and the tablecloth is very wrinkly, but here is my latest Birthday Tablecloth. It is for a friend. I really love the fabric. Now, it just needs some cute buttons. To see another post about my tablecloths, click here.
This weeks open ended art was mosaics and paper. I cut Chloe a bunch of different shaped squares for her to create her masterpiece. I showed her some examples of mosaics on the computer and then just let her do her thing. Head on over to Teaching My Little Book Worm for some more great examples!
This month's Open Ended Art began a month long theme of Mosaics. The first one was supposed to be pebbles. I really like to stay with the theme, but I wasn't really sure how to do pebbles. So from a comment from the master mind behind Open Ended Art we decided to do flowers. Everyday I am asked, "Mommy, can I pick some flowers?". So, I let her pick a bunch of flowers and we made a flower mosaic. In the final picture the glue hadn't dried yet, so that is why it looks a little funny. At first I was just going to take a picture for her book, but I am trying to press the flowers so we can keep the real thing. We will be sticking with the themes in the future. I do have an idea though for another mosaic that involves some recycling. I will post that at a later time. I think she loved this week's theme!
I have always felt weird about buying them b/c I am just not sure if they are me or not??? I am a short girl and sometimes short girls don't look great in boots. So imagine my surprise in a free boot giveaway! What a great way to try the boots without the risk! If I love them I might just order one in every shade!

I have always thought nap mats are so expensive! So, I decided to make one myself. I have now come to the conclusion that they are not so costly, b/c they are sorda costly to make. If you want to make one I suggest taking the time to look for bargains. This project cost about 40 dollars to make. My friend Kristi sent me this tutorial. The changes I would make are in the amount of fabric for the mat. Instead of making it a square, I would make it a rectangle.
This was the best smile I could get! She looks like she is in pain!
As a former teacher, I know how great it is to feel appreciated! So my LO brought these to her teachers for Meet the Teacher Day. These are some little flower pots I found for 3.99 each. I decided to fill them with some snacks, notepad, gum and a bottle of water.
