There's a lot of hammering and gluing going on. Hope we didn't disturb too many people because we certainly had fun making Pumpkin Headz Yardart. As usual, Linda Gabrielson shared her talents with us and showed us how to make these cute wooden pumpkin headz for Halloween. Check out the attached handout and pictures to learn more.
Beginner Crochet is just that.....for beginners. So if you don't know how to crochet and want to learn, join Melanie Pratho as she teaches us how. After you graduate from this class we will have another class next semester to learn more about crochet (how to read patterns). Bring your size "H" or "I" crochet hook and a skein of or 4-ply worsted weight yarn (light color, but not white or variegated). During the first class Melanie showed us several websites that offer great info and videos.....see attached.
What fun we had making the "Amazing Folding Photo Album". Mary Ellen Walsh taught us how to turn two squares of cardboard, wrapping paper, three sheets of copy paper and a piece of ribbon into a fantastic keepsake album that folds together to form a four inch album that will fit into your purse. Following are the written instructions and a diagram that will help you get started. If you have trouble putting it together, just ask a class member to show you how.
Professor Patrick Barton gave us a great class on how effective speech can change our world.....at large or within our own communities. To be an effective speaker we need to plan ahead, know the subject matter, and deliver the information in a clear, understandable way. Notes from his class - click here.
