As I was working on our baby chick in an eggshell project the other day, I realized that I had never shared a video on how to do an increase in crochet. I've explained and quickly demonstrated it during other videos, but this little nugget deserved its' own video. It's a stitch that you will use over and over and over again. Anytime you're wanting to go from smaller to larger, you'll be using this stitch. I've used an increase in crochet, for example, when making our hat without a pattern, when making our baby chick in an eggshell, and...

We are slowly working through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modeling by Unwin in our clay modelling series. In this post, we are going to be tackling model #7, which is a clay model of a pea pod. There were definitively some new skills incorporated into this model, which you will immediately notice if you’ve been following along with us in this series. It had some extra detailing, however, we found it to be a quick project. You may not have a pea pod laying around. It's still winter where we live, so there is no garden growing,...

[aweber listid=5899377 formid=221915929 formtype=webform] I'm not sure that there is anything cuter on earth than a baby chick. So that's what we're going to make today. We promised an amigurumi pattern and this is it - the CUTEST baby chick in an eggshell. The pattern includes instructions for a baby chick, about 4" in height, as well as the top and bottom of an eggshell, which the baby chick will fit in to. It's a sweet little toy and would make the perfect addition to an Easter basket! As with each of our patterns, we will walk you...

Today we are tackling the 6th clay model from the book A Manual of Clay-Modeling by Unwin. This model is of a clay model of a lemon, and if you've been following along with us in this video series, you'll find that this was fairly easy. It employed many of the same techniques that we had used in previous models, making this session fairly short in comparison to previous ones. Our work with clay modelling is part of a project to incorporate Charlotte Mason's teachings into our homeschool. We've followed the Charlotte Mason philosophy in our homeschool from...

DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE PDF PATTERN HERE Here we are in February - our homeschool struggle month. It's far enough away from Christmas that we think we need another break, and it's close enough to March Break, that we can almost taste the freedom. Yet there are still several weeks to slog through. Where we live, Spring is so close you can almost smell it, despite there not being a single sign of it yet. This didn't stop us, though! If we can't see signs of it yet, then we're going to make some signs of it! So today, we're making a...

Today we are continuing our progress through the book A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. We've made it to the 5th model, where we will be making a clay model of a piece of broken stone. We grabbed our broken stone from the side of the street. As it's supposed to be, this model was definitely the most challenging to date. It introduced a couple of new skills; instead of assembling our clay shape and putting it onto the armature, this time we were directed to build up around the armature. We also began working with varied shapes, instead of...
