I love baking cupcakes with my mom. The chocolate with cream cheese frosting seem to be a favorite for most of my friends

Stuffed Owls








To make a  stuffed  owl first get a piece of paper  and draw an owl on the paper. Then cut it out then get a piece of fabric. Fold the the fabric in half . Then cut it into two pieces put one piece facing you . Then put the other piece of fabric on top of the other piece so you can not see the design. After, put the picture of the owl on top of the two pieces . Pin the owl onto the fabric. Cut the fabric so that the fabric is the same shape as the owl.  Then start sewing. Leave a part of the owl open to stuff it. Now turn the owl inside out so you can see the  design . Then stuff the owl. If you can not get the stuffing into a part of the owl's body then use a pencil  to help. After you have stuffed the owl. Sew up the part that is opened . After you do that get a piece of paper and draw some big owl eyes and a beak. Then get a piece of fabric. Fold the fabric in half pin the eye down to the fabric. Then cut the eye out so you have two of the same eyes. Then get fabric for the beak. Pin the beak down. Then cut it out.  Get some super glue  to glue the eyes and the beak on . Glue the eyes and the beak down. Now you can say you made a stuffed owl.

Mosaic Table



Another artistic idea is to crush up old coffee cups , plates, and tiles. Mosaic is the art of creating with pieces of material. A lot of time you will see glass, stone, or ceramic pieces.  I used plates and tiles on this old coffee table.
