Poetry by Goldgirl

I have been writing Haikus and Limericks.  Here are some I want to show you.

Autumn Leaves

The leaves falling fast

Whispering to the wild wind

And tickling my toes.

The Moon

The glittering moon

Tells me it is time for bed

Shining way above.

Gardens

Gardens are nature

and colourful creations

smiling at me.

A Funny Bunny

There once was a mummy bunny

Who acted very funny.

She called for me and asked for tea

So I brought her toast and honey.

I hope you liked my poems.

Making a Clay Butterfly

To make a clay butterfly you will need:

1.  colourful paint and paint easel

2.  a thin brush

3.  a quarter of a DAS block of modelling clay (you can get them from The Warehouse)

4.  a clean hard surface that you can paint on.  I used a placemat.

First of all, divide the clay into 3 pieces.  One will be for the body and antennas, and one for each wing.  Shape the body by rolling it and then make 2 little antennas for the top.  Then make the wings, which are the hard part because they need to be the same size and shape as each other.  If you want your butterfly to be very smooth, put a little water on your fingers and lightly rub them on the body.

If you want patterns on the butterfly's wings, use the end of your paintbrush and sketch in any design you want.  It has to be the same on both sides.

Next, you have to wait for the clay to dry.  It takes a long time, it might even take a whole week!
Here are some photos of me waiting and getting a bit bored because I really want to paint my butterfly.



I've just woken up and I'm still waiting!!



Finally, my butterfly is dry!

Its time to paint it.  This is the fun part.  Choose the colours you want.  The bright ones look very pretty.  If you have very light colours, it is best to do 2 or 3 coats of paint.

Let it dry in a warm sunny place.  Any animals can ruin your butterfly if you don't put it in a safe place to dry.  It might take a night.

Here is my finished butterfly dancing happily with me!  It is finished!

Byebye.  See you next time!

What Christmas means to me!

Christmas is not all about santa it's about Jesus's birthday too.  Jesus was born in a manger.

We celebrate Christmas by decorating a tree and opening presents in the morning.  One of our traditions is to buy one new tree decoration every year.  Another one of our traditions is to put a doll in a manger that I made.

My family celebrates Christmas with my Nana, my Oma and Opa, and my cousins.  We have presents, lots of party food and games.  On Boxing Day we go camping.

Vege Garden

My cat is standing in the middle of the plants I am going to plant in our new vege garden.

Here I am planting some seedlings in our garden.

Now the first seedlings are in the holes.  My sister is going to water them all.

My mum helped me plant these lettuces first.

I planted a cherry tomato plant on my own.

Here is a capsicum tree it has over 50 flowers on it, wich will grow into capsicum.

Altogether, we have planted spinach, tomatoes, lettuce, a capsicum tree, mint and some kale.

Baking biscuits and cooking dinner

First I made cookies for a snack.  Here is a picture of me rolling the cookies and putting them on the tray.

Now the cookies are on the trays, Mum's going to put them in the oven.

This is me helping Mum make the dinner while I'm waiting for the cookies to cook.  I peeled and chopped the onion and I'm making the mince smaller so it can cook properly.  If its one big thing it will be red in the middle.  If there are red parts in the mince it will make you sick.

Yummy!  The cookies taste nice.  We used coconut oil instead of butter because its more healthy but it doesn't taste any different.

Here is a picture of me with the cooked dinner.  I forgot to say that we cooked the pasta and broccoli and cauliflower in a pot of water at the same time as the mince then we mixed it all in together.  Everyone liked it.

Cooking is very fun!

Welcome to my blog

Hi I'm Gold girl.  Welcome to my blog!  I love kittens, because they are so fluffy and warm.  I cuddle one of my kittens every day.  I also love climbing trees and reading books.  I play netball on Thursdays and we have a practice on Tuesdays as well.  Come back and visit me on my blog.  I'll put some exciting things on soon that I've been doing.

Bye!
