Fun or Funny Fri Foto ~ "I Got It" Heard in Sewing Class

I loved:
 seeing teamwork in class.

......when one student was successful making a buttonhole,

they passed on help to the next person.

...when a younger student showed an older student how to cut open their button hole.

...when one discovered the parts of a machine and how to use them,

 even though it might have been a bit awkward at first.

....when a student intently sewed with the machine to be as accurate as they possibly could.

....... when students helped set up and take down the classroom,

which was a tremendous help to me.

.....when students took pride in the tiny whip stitches that used to make their pencil pouches.

But, probably the most exciting thing I heard this week

was a result of me demonstrating all of September 

how to tie a knot in the thread.

 A student came up to me somewhat excited and said,

"I tied a knot!"

Now that's a FUN thing.

Thoughtful Thinking Thursday #107 ~ Yarn Bowls

When the air gets a bit nippy 

and my sewing room gets a bit cold,

I like to sit on the couch with a crochet or knitting needle.

 Last year for Christmas gifts,

I made some yarn bowls.

 I had decided both guys and girls could use these.

 So I made several.

 This one could be used just for Christmas or maybe set out all year.

What use would a yarn bowl have?

Perhaps to protect some nice furniture from keys and change?

What colors would you use to make one for a man?

or a little girl?
