Stanford Offers Online Computer Science Courses Free to All. Stanford University is now expanding computer science courses available online, for free, for any students who wish to join. It all began a few weeks ago with an introductory course on artificial intelligence (AI) taught by the award-winning professors Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig. Now, two new courses are available; the first, an Introduction to Databases taught by Professor Jennifer Widom; the second, Machine Learning with Professor Andrew Ng.
Over 100,000 students have signed up since the courses were announced. Prospective students need only know one programming language well enough to complete the assignments. For those less keen on the rigors of a full course, Stanford also offers free lectures through their Engineering Everywhere site. The interesting thing about this program is not that it’s higher education via the Internet — online correspondence courses have already blazed that trail — but that this program seems to exist solely for education’s sake. Pin Prick Paper Angel Ornaments. 1993 Better Homes and Gardens Christmas Ideas supply these angel ornaments.
I would print on brochure weight, watercolor or photo paper (If I had a printer....right now I'm out of luck. Printer died). The angels are outlined in gold then pricked with a variety of needles, nails and thumbtacks. Gold cord for hangers and the harp if desired. Click on the pictures for larger versions. PatrickJMT. Art. Quilling. Make Alpaca Wool Sweater into Felted handmade Bag tutorial - The Inadvertent Farmer. I paid $3.00 for the sweater... I found two sweaters with this tag...lucky me! Start by cutting off the sleeves just inside the arm-hole seams Next cut at the neck... I lined up a straight edge across the bottom of the armpits to make sure my neck cut would be as deep as my arm cuts. Try to make the arm curves and the neck curves match...I had to fool with it a little after these pics to get them even. These will be your handles After you cuts are made shift the sweater around till the handles line up.
Next is the bottom of the bag...you don't have to do this, you can just sew the bottom together straight away but I needed the extra room. I used one of the sleeves I cut off for this. Turn your sweater inside out and at the bottom edge of the sweater pin your bottom piece, right sides together. Now how does one fit a square cornered bottom piece into a curved sweater hem? Well I put a little tuck in the corners of the bottom piece...all pointing in...to make it match up better to the sweater. Design*Sponge » Blog Archive » sewing 101: making a pouf. Add a burst of color to your room with this crafty pouf! At 17” wide and 10” deep, it’s large enough to serve as floor seating or a foot stool.
(And if you have pets, I have a feeling they may want to make this their new favorite spot!) This project is a little challenging to sew, but it’s not too difficult, so if you’re comfortable with the basics of sewing, give it a try. You can make a colorwheel effect with a range of solid colors, or choose a variety of patterned fabrics for a louder patchwork effect. Medium-weight cottons work well for this design (check out quilting shops for great selections of solids and prints). I love the idea of making a set of these poufs in a range of sizes, for a sculptural stack of cushions that will become a room element in their own right.

Bags, Totes, Purses, oh my! Honeycomb Ornament. Today I am sharing a tutorial on how I made a Honeycomb Ornament using my Cricut E2 and the Paper Trimmings cartridge (but you can use any cartridge that has a similar ornament). This is Gaby and am thrilled to have remembered that the 15th is the third Thursday in December and not the second.... long story.... Sheila knows... :) -- On to my project! There are several tutorials on how to make a honeycomb out of paper in the WWW. Actually, I knew the basics of making a honeycomb such as pretending there is a clock face and place glue at 3, 6, 9 and 12 when creating a honeycomb circle (or similar such as a pumpkin, apple, etc.).
Next layer you place glue at 1:30, 4:30, 7:30 and 10:30. Step One - Cut 18 of the same design. Step Two - Fold the 18 pieces in half. I used the thinnest paper I had. Step Three - Use one of the negative spaces to mark ones and twos, alternating the numbers. Closer look at the numbers.

Money Gift Box. Gift Box This box made from two bills. The bills/box can be the gift itself, but it is also just about the right size for a ring box. (Perhaps a dollar-bill ring?) Get yourself two fairly new, crisp bills. Older "soggier" bills are much harder to work with. For this design to work, the folds should be very precise, and perpendicular to the edges of the bill if the resulting is to be retangular. Lay the bill on a flat surface, face up. Fold the note top-to-bottom just to the right of the portrait, then unfold.
Starting at the top left corner (as illustrated), close the top third fold to about 90 degrees. Inside this corner will be a remaining portion that you will crease along the natural 45 degree line to complete the corner. Complete the previous step for the other three corners. For each tab, pull it inside the box, folding so that the natural edge of the box is pulled slightly over inside the fold. Do this evenly for both tabs. You should now have an open box.
