I made this poster by following  a tutorial on the internet.   I didn’t learn anything because I already knew how to do the tutorial.   My favorite part of this project was when it was over because I was finally finished with all my hard work.   It was a lot of  work but it paid off in the end.

Aaliyah and Nicole recently finished a few aprons (one of our intro to sewing projects) in Style Shop.  We already have quite a few aprons in Style Shop, so we figured they could use them over in Chopper and Bike Shop.  Here are some pics of our apron donation mission to Chopper Shop.  You can see how happy Matt and Will are with their awesome new aprons!

Wow, we have had so much fun stuff going on in Style Shop this fall that I have been too busy to blog about it.  The style shop crew has been making tremendous progress in sewing, screen printing, drawing, and computer design.  With the approach of the Holidays we decided to take a little break from our normal routine and make some custom printed holiday themed t-shirts for the students to give out as gifts.  There are some very lucky parents and siblings in Third Ward if you ask me.  Here are a few (not very good) pics from the end of the week.

Over spring break we went to Enchanted Rock State Park for two nights of camping. We left Tuesday morning and stopped in San Antonio for lunch and a quick tour of the Alamo on the way.  We hiked two miles to our primitive campsite carrying all of our gear with us.  Wednesday, we hiked up the rock, and we went through the cave on the backside. Upon returning to our campsite we all played in the creek, had dinner, and then went on a star-gazing walk.  Thursday,  we headed back to Houston, with stops at  San Marcos for a quick swim in the river, and in Lockhart for some barbecue. All in all, the weather was fantastic, and we had a great trip.

We had a great visit yesterday from J. Giroux of Read & Write. He showed off some of his work, talked to people about their projects, and then they had a little screen printing session. Pics Below

Things are really ramping up in Style Shop.  After some technical difficulties, we are back on track.  Here are some more recent pics. (more…)

Here are a few pictures of recent Style Shop projects. Look for more regular updates in the future.
