My coloring bags

One of my biggest seller of 2009 was my coloring bags ....
So I remade a first production lately!


Made of recycled jeans, they are cut one by one. I then added cotton with pretty prints .... As you can see on the picture, the teddy bear of my son watched me very seriously ... : )


It is earth friendly and durable. Perfect for travelling, restaurant or anywhere else you want to keep your child occupied. It has one pocket on the back.  You can choose if you want a bag for pencils, crayons or markers.

This creepycrawly print is now available in my etsy shop (USD):  lachiffonniere.etsy.com, or in my iCraft shop ($CAN): icraft.ca/lachiffonniere


This week I received my new fabrics for next bags .....


Too cute!  I can't wait to make them !!

Because...

weekend inspiration...

...1. xadrez e flores, 2. Camillas place, 3. score!, 4. new print - rainy day in autumn, 5. ., 6. made some boxes, 7. boutons-detail, 8. em Belém, 9. rain...

...i have decided that this weekend i should try to embrace the rotten weather ~ yes i think i may have finally gone loopy!

...i shall pile on the layers of jumpers, scarves and gloves (no hats though, i don't do hats!) and brave the beach, yes the beach in winter! that is as long as it doesn't snow, i don't know about you but i think there is something so very wrong about seeing the sand and seaweed covered in snow...

...i shall go armed with my wee man and my camera to see what beauty can be found on a very grey and very british day. hopefully i will be able to snap at least one pic that is half as pretty as these in my mosaic today, which was inspired by my planned expedition and the thought of the rough waves lapping against the pebbled beach. i know that all sounds very romantic and once i get there, with my numb fingers unable to work the camera buttons, i'm sure i won't be nearly as enthusiastic about it all... ;)

...wishing a wonderful weekend, and hoping that you find some small nugget of beauty that makes you smile... :)

Multiply and divide decimals by powers of ten (by 10, 100, 1000 etc.)

In this video I show, first of all, the common shortcut: you move the decimal point in the number as many steps as there are zeros in the number 10, 100, 1000 etc. For example:

2.16 × 10,000 = 21,600.0
It is as if the point moved four steps from between 2 and 1 to between zeros.

You can see better examples of this in my lesson Multiply and Divide Decimals by 10, 100, and 100 at HomeschoolMath.net.

Then, I also show where this shortcut originates, using PLACE VALUE charts. In reality, it's not the decimal point moving (it's sort of an illusion), but the digits of the number move within the place value chart (to the opposite direction from the way the decimal point seems to "move"). This explanation can really help students to understand the reason behind the "trick" of moving the decimal point.

cryptic...

...and colourful...

...but i'm not nearly as far along with this project as i wanted to be today, i had hoped to have them finished ready for tomorrow but i've been lacking in motivation this week. the outside world has felt so grey and uninspiring, not one ray of sunshine has poked through the thick clouds...

...so absolutely no chance of a decent photographing session! that is unless you have a whole lot of determination, a strong daylight bulb in your desk lamp, a basic knowledge of the macro function on your camera, and then a whole lot of patience for editing the best of what can only be described as an iffy bunch of pics...

...et voila! a few cryptic and only slightly iffy pics!

...anyway, i shall tell you more about them next week, along with a shop update and maybe even a giveaway... ;)

...here's hoping you all had a far more creative week than i did!?

Mother Nature is an artist!

How not to marvel at the beauty of nature?
Sometimes I tell myself that human is a little artist before Mother Nature ....

In my lovely old house, I was able to discover a facet of her art ...



My windows were frosted! When we are children, we look at these beautiful little things ....


Adults, we have no more time .... Always in our minds to think ....
Well, this morning, I stopped, and I admired ...



Do you remember having scratched the windows when you were little?
 Mom! It makes snow!
I remember ....

K-On!: Hirasawa Yui

k-on! cosplay - hirasawa yui

Clumsy and easily spaces out from time to time, Yui is very passionate about playing the guitar and plays with amazing amounts of energy. She is very talented in music, able to tune her guitar without the aid of a tuner and can has perfect pitch, making her the vocalist of the group. However, she has been known to forget the lyrics of the song in mid-performance.

Cute Yui from Winter Comiket! I’m not familiar with K-On!, so maybe someone can tell me why she has clappers (I think that’s what they’re called anyway)? Thanks to Aya-chan for sending this in!

Gundam 00: Nena Trinity

gundam 00 cosplay - nena trinityThe youngest of the Trinity siblings, Nena tends to present herself as cheerful and flirtatious when she is selfish and callous in the battlefield. A good example of her true nature occurs when she kills the entire Halevy family because she was frustrated that others were having fun while she felt overworked.

Such a scary girl with such a cute face. Better be careful when you see her in Winter Comiket! Thanks to Somiya for sending the photo!
