Monday Miscellany

I had grand plans of quilting maniacally on the long three day weekend.  Instead we spent most of the time working on science fair projects.  As a science teacher, I should really love science fair projects more.  All the research was already done, but there was still typing and printing and pasting to finish.
Ryan studied the effect of different temperatures on the rate of photosynthesis in elodea.  See his nice bubble graphs?  He learned a lot about using excel spread sheets. 
Anna tried to kill E. coli with UV light. I learned that working with bacteria isn't worth all the paperwork involved. 
I tried to sneak in a few minutes of sewing in amongst all the science fair fun. So far I have the first few rows of Flamingo Bay sewn together. I only had to frog stitch one block today because it was rotated the wrong way. Yesterday I sewed backwards more than forward.

  1. Glad our DD didn't have to do anything that complicated when she was that young, although I'm sure your children learnt a lot!

  3. I love the colors of your Flamingo Bay. And good for all of you getting the Science Fair projects done. Over the years I stopped insisting that the boys participate (it was optional) - it was just sooo stressful and I was the only one stressing. LOL

  5. I remember science fair days. One of my kids ran a battery operated clock using a potato, lemon, etc. Fun times. That one went to state. Love your Orca Bay quilt.
