Some of you may remember that back at the beginning of the year, I set out to teach a few of my older kiddos how to embroider. Embroidering has really been a hit with the kids. Three of the kids decided that they wanted to do embroidery projects to sell at the silent auction at our school’s big event this week–the International Festival and Silent Auction. I was so very proud of them!

My third and fourth grade girls embroidered tea cups on tea towels. My seventh grade boy (remember “The Cell”?) and I designed a “Science is Fun!” wall hanging. None of these projects went off without a hitch, and we were definitely scrambling at the last minute to get them done (Miss Val may have only gotten two and a half hours of sleep the night before the auction!), but they turned out amazing. And they were definitely hits at the auction. So, without further ado, here are the final products:

And last, but not least, “Science is Fun!”
