"The Black Head"-my first play

We had to write a play at school.  I am very interested in heroes vs villains and lots of action.  Although I am one of the loudest kids in my Kindergarten Class, you can barely hear me in my own play!

Gnome vs Snowman-Mochimochi

Although petting the angora bunnies at Vogue Knitting Live! was fun-finding this epic knitted battle was even better!  Gnomes vs Snowmen!
 The gnomes and the snowmen are mochimochi-which means tiny knitting.  The author of the Mochimochi Book, and the creator of this giant diorama, Anna Hrachovec was there.
 I want the gnome, many of them, so I can create my own epic battles.  Mom likes to knit, so it shouldn't be a problem.  I will have her churning out armies with her knitting needles!!!  Back to the diorama...
Here are some images from the gnome side......
These snowmen are creating a giant secret weapon! A huge snowman!
I truly delighted in this exhibit and kept coming back to it the hours I was at Vogue Knitting.

Bunny Gold at Vogue Knitting Live!

I spent my Saturday afternoon being dragged to a yarn show.  Fortunately, Dad came so I kind of had fun!  There was a reason we were at the yarn show.  Mom's friend Vicki, was launching her bunny angora yarn company called "Bunny Gold".  Mom knit Vicki a child's sweater with her awesome bunny yarn as a sample.  Here is the sweater.
So Mom, Dad and I went to go see Bunny Gold & Vicki at the show.
Here are two pictures of the booth.
Vicki and I can be seen through the angora bunny cage.  She actually let me pet one!  Dad said it was like"petting a warm cloud."
Vicki had a demonstration at 3:30 pm to talk about her earth friendly, animal friendly, made in the USA bunny yarns.  
I took pictures.  Mom was on stage with a knitting machine.  Katie, on the left was sheering a bunny, Brian was spinning a mixture of bunny and sheep and roving, Mom was machine knitting, Jan was hand knitting, and Beorn was organic dyeing.  Vicki was on the floor presenting.

March was a blurrrrr!

I went to Arun's 6th birthday party at the Federal Way Community Center.  Dad and I went swimming.
Arun is in the Angry Birds T-shirt.  He is a good friend of mine from karate.  We both LOVE the game Minecarft and can talk about it for forever.
I went to the Seattle Opera House to see a ballet of Hansel and Gretel.  Too many birds dancing around and NOT enough action for my taste.  The whole"got pushed in the oven" happened in a blink of an eye.
I asked Mom to never take me to a ballet again.
I did get to hang out with my favorite uncle.
I dyed eggs.  I had fun preparing the dyes.
I do not care for boiled eggs, so my folks had to eat them all.
Oh, and I got my orange stripe on my white belt.
That was March in a nut shell. Whew!
