New Crazy, Strange, But Also Awesome Sea Creatures!

I was reading this magazine that my teacher gave the class to read, and one of the articles was about 7 newly discovered sea creatures. One had fangs on it's tongue! Another one actually has hair! I think they look pretty cool! Here are the pictures of the seven that I read about.

The Dumbo Octopus

The Fanged Dragon Fish

This is the one with fangs on it's tongue!

The Helmet Jelly Fish

The Sea Spider

The Strawbrry Crab

The Yeti Crab

This one has actual hair!

The Darth Vader Jelly Fish

Doesn't it look exactly like Darth Vader's Helmet?

I think they look awesome! Hope you like them too!

Stuffed Seal!

I made a Seal! It's fuzzy and cute! it took a feww hours to make, so i didn't get as many pictures as i would have because my photogagher, Tiffany, got a little bored on me til' the very end, so there's not any good ones of the very beginning. i did get the touch ups, glueing on of the face and stomach, and cut all done pictures though! the sewing was really tedious because the thread kept falling out of the needle, i had to hand sew it, and tiffany kept interupting me! Well, at least i got it all done in one night! Admire my pictures of my true piece of art!

Adding my touch ups!

Before the face and belly are added

Glueing the face!

Before the eyes are added

Fixing the eyes

Still fixing the eyes

It's done!

Me with my seal!

Hope you liked them! It was a lot of fun to make!

Sewing!

Now, the cooking part of my class at school is over. :( I'm going to miss it, but now we're starting on the sewing! At the beginning of the year i ordered a pillow to sew for this part of the class, and there was a lot of different options of what type of pillows. There were game controllers, hearts, ipods, peas in a pod, ice cream type shapes, and a bunch of different animals. I was tied between a turtle, and the ice cream cone (one of my favorite animals and one of my favorite foods). In the end it came down to which one looked comfier, and the ice cream cone won! i can't wait to get working on it! Let's hope i don't sew myself into it though!

Mama Mia! That's Some Good Cooking!

As most of you know, i LOVE cooking! Well, in one of my classes at school, i get to cook. I have made french toast, orange julious, crumb cakes, and oatmeal cookies. I had to do a project for it like all classes. This one was to cook a breakfast. So i made french toast, pink lemonade, a fruit bowl (with grapes, bananas, and strawberries), and blueberry muffins! Everything turned out perfectly, except for the muffins. i'm not very good with muffins i guess, but other than that, it was perfect! The bottoms of the muffins were a tiny bit burnt, but the tops were PERFECT! Now that i have made a meal for more than just 2 people, I have realized just how difficult that is, and i appreciate everyone who has ever cooked for me because now i know just how much work goes into those sensational meals! Thank you!

Sick Me

Lately i've been wishing i was sick so i wouldn't have to go to school. Well i got my wish. Don't ever wish to be sick because it's more fun to be healthy and go to school, than to be sick and stay home, trust me. Enjoy being healthy while you are!

I have now been healthy, since about January 13, 2011!
