A Girl With Many Interests

Me and my mom have a small garden but a lot of oregono so we decided to cut some of it down but we didn't want to waste all of it. So we looked online how to dry oregono. Its  ery you just cut some down dry it on a plate for a few day, crumple it off the stems an put it in the air tight canning jar. Me and my mom are in the drying stage!

My new hobby

Over the weekend I found a new hobby thanks to my teacher! YOU ROCK! Anyway my new hobby is sewing. Trust me its tons of fun when you don't get stabbed from the needle. I found some needles and tread in my drawer. I made some bags for the girl scouts and some dog toys. I love to sit in front of the TV and knit, crochet, and sew. You should try it.

Cool, Radical, and Just Plain Awesome Scarf

I am making a scarf. Every 5-7 rows I do a different stitch. I started out with garter stitch (just plain knitting) and then I went to the seed stitch (which is every other stitch is knitting and every other other stitch is purled). I just keep doing combos of knitting and purling

Crocheting With Plastic

I learned how to crochet with plastic! I cut up plastic bags, tied them together and voila.
I like it because it's recycling and making something cool! I don't have a pic.
