It was another mellow Thursday with Lou Lou and Tegan.  After having a pleasant lunch together, the children decided to work on separate experiences that interested each of them.  

Lou Lou and collage, weaving, sewing and drawing!

Lou Lou started with weaving fall colors.  As she moved the strips through the frame, she chanted, "Under, over, under over."   While she was weaving, she realized that she likes sewing better than weaving, so that became her next plan.   
After she worked diligently with needle and thread, her third plan became collage.  Lou Lou is so familiar enough with the materials available at St. John's that she requested using glue in a jar with a glue brush.  There was still time for one more experience and Lou Lou found big paper to begin drawing a portrait of KW.  So far the work includes Jessica, Jill, Lou Lou, Lily, Tegan and a spider!

Tegan and sewing

While Lou Lou explored a variety of materials, Tegan stuck with sewing for over an hour.  She continued working on the patchwork blanket that she is making for Saoirse.  She has become quite independent in sewing and is adept at completing the following steps:choosing the fabric, lining up the fabric, putting the foot down on the fabric, adjusting the placement of the foot pedal, and  guiding the fabric through the machine while pressing the foot pedal.  When she has completed  her sewing, she lifts the foot, turns the knob to lift the needle(if necessary), pulls her work away from eh machine, and cuts th thread.   At this rate, her comfy blanket should be complete fairly soon.
