Year-End Handwork

Hels spent much of the spring making this jester's cap as part of the Renaissance theme.

Lou fell in love with it and declared: "this is so cool--I'm going to wear it every day of 8th grade!"

Lou enjoyed cross stitch this year. Here is a pin cushion she made me.

Here are all the pencil cases made by her class. Aren't they lovely?

Finally, here's a bench the 8th grade made as a gift for the school. Each back has a different scene sculpted into it. My favorite is a snail with the earth sculpted into its shell. I couldn't show it to you because someone was sitting on it.
