Quilt #3

Hannah did a marvelous job with Catherine's quilt.  This time around, she helped a lot more and wanted more independence where she has gained more confidence.  Catherine was thrilled with her blanket... I just loved hearing her draw her breath in excitement over it!

Art Class

It's a detail that can be easily missed if you weren't the art teacher of your daughter's coop.  I've been using the Mona Brookes, Monart method for teaching kids (and grown ups too) to draw.  They have just started drawing cubes and cylinders.  I'm not teaching perspective, but observation of lines.  Hannah had drawn this angel on her own.  It's our tree topper.  Normally, she would have simply drawn a straight line across the bottom of the angel's skirt.  I only noticed it because we had just been talking about it in our drawing class.
