DIY // In the Art Room: Making Mary Poppins. Why, hello thar! 'Tis I, wannabe Mary Poppins, practically (im)perfect in every way! Like many schools, mine celebrated Read Across America week with a "dress like a storybook character" day. Because we are currently learning about all things United Kingdom and I'm reading Mary Poppins to my second and fourth graders, deciding who I would dress like was as easy as taking my meds with a spoonful of sugar. Even if I did wanna dress as Sherlock Holmes for a could coupla days. But I didn't think my pipe-puffing would go over well with those party-poopin' principals in my building. So Mary 'twas! Whilst dressed as Mary, I tried my very best to keep my faux-British accent going as long as I could.
The thing my outfit was lacking was the famous parrot-headed brolly. As soon as I got home, I busted out the tin foil and started sculpting the parrots head. Ack! Time for tea! All week, leading up to the arrival of Mary Poppins, my classes enjoyed a spot of tea and biscuits. Pinkies out, dearies! ...a crafty balance...: Practically Perfect. After spending a lot of evenings working on Scout's costumes, I realized that I did not have anything for myself. And we actually had a Halloween party on the horizon.

I fell in love with this Mary Poppins costume. When you go to pop-up Halloween costume shops you'll immediately notice that they trend toward more risque versions of Halloween regulars. I'm not going to go into too much detail, but seriously - you can basically be a dolled up version of anything (Elmo, Sponge Bob, etc.) in a tight, short skirt and thigh highs.

Have you ever wanted to make a bed-sized crazy quilt but cringed at the thought of making fifty plus crazy pieced blocks? I don’t blame you; making that many blocks would be a serious time commitment. But there are several ways to increase the size of your end project without making (and embellishing) all those blocks.
You can easily increase the size of your crazy pieced project three ways: by adding sashing between the blocks and by changing the setting of your blocks and by adding borders along the outer edges. Most of you are aware that simply inserting sashing between your blocks will add to the width and length of your piece. Sashing can frame and highlight each individual block, helps square up the rows, can provide another area for embellishing and can provide an unobtrusive area for stabilizing the whole quilt top.
For instance, if you have nine 12” crazy pieced blocks and you put them together in a straight setting of three blocks in three rows, you have a 36” square piece.

Täällä on nautittu tänään noista jälkimmäisistä. Ensin olin leikellyt yhden vanhan villakangastakin vajaa parikymmensenttisiksi pyörylöiksi.
Sen jälkeen leikkelin vanhoihin farkkuihin takapuolen kohdalle kaksi reikää; taskuille tuli komennus oikeisiin töihin. Ja tässä niitä taskuja nyt sitten on. Taskupatalapun idea on, että se toimii tarvittaessa myös patakintaana. Ei muuta kuin käsi taskuun ja uunista on helppo ottaa ulos herkkuja, kun ei tarvitse pelätä hipaisevansa rystysillä uunin polttavaa seinää. No en sentään.
