Making Dolls

In Craft Club the moms are helping make dolls to send to little girls in Nicaragua. The first Craft Club we got the bodies cut out, sewed together, and stuffed.

Upsided Down Tomato Plant

On Mother's Day my dad gave his mom (my grandma) a hanging tomato plant. Ellen, my Uncle Danny, and my dad planted it and hung it on the house. It looks really nice.

Mothers Day Hot Pad

This is a hot pad I hand quilted for my mom. I made it from some of our leftover fabric. She really liked it.

My Finished Quilt

Last Thursday I finished the quilt I was making in Craft Club. I really like how it turned out.
This is the back of the quilt.

Cedar Waxwings

Last Thursday night we were pulling dead plants when Dad saw a group of (about twenty) birds up in the trees. We did not know what they were at first because we could not see there backs. On Saturday Dad showed me a picture I had taken and one of the birds that was looking down so we were able to identify them as Cedar Waxwings. The Cedar Waxwing migrates some areas of Nebraska. My bird book says that they live here year round, but I rarely see them.

The Wind By Robert Louis Stevenson

I saw you toss the kites on high
And blow the birds about the sky;
And all around I heard you pass,
Like ladies' skirts across the grass-
O wind a-blowing all day long,
O wind that sings so loud a song!

I saw the different things you did,
But always you yourself you hid.
I felt you push , I heard you call,
I could not see yourself at all-
O wind a-blowing all day long,
O wind that sings so loud a song!

O you that are so strong and cold,
O blower, are you young or old?
Are you a beast of field and tree,
Or just a stronger child than me?
O wind a-blowing all day long,
O wind that sings so loud a song!

Crocheted Easter Eggs

These are some Easter egg displays I crocheted for gifts. The grass is some green ribbon I had.
