Science Connection

The Science Museum celebrated the 400th anniversary of Galileo using the telescope to gaze at the sky for the first time. There were lots of activities, and the students involved in the after-school science outreach program, Science Connections, were invited for free. I volunteered for the Science Connections program this semester, and was invited to come. I brought a friend and his son, since I was allowed to bring family and have no kids of my own. There was free pizza and bottle rockets and 5 hours of fun.

It turns out I was further along on the Special Effects bag than I thought. I already had six panels finished before I picked it back up the other day and I finished the remaining two panels by Friday evening. I am now constructing the bag from the panels. I am worried that I may lose power tonight, depending on how strong the storm is outside, so I may not be able to finish or post again tonight.

Does anyone besides me save the little tails of thread when they crochet? I know a lot of cross-stitchers save their threads to use for things like filling clear ornament balls or other projects, but have never heard of people saving their scraps of yarn. I figured they would eventually be enough to stuff something.
