Robotics Qualifiers

Yesterday was qualifiers for robotics to see if my team would make it to super qualifiers. The first few alliances we went against beat us by a lot. We switch out a driver and got way better scores. At the end we were in 6th place overall. My strategist got to pick our alliances. We lost our last two finals final matches. Making it into finals is amazing for a rookie team. When they were calling up the teams making it to Super Qualifiers they called out the ones with awards. We didn't have any awards. Then they called the teams by rank that were left, 4th and 7th. My team was so angry and sad. Luckily some of the people on our team remembered we were in 6th place so we should have went. We told an adult and they fixed the problem and let us go also. Instead of breaking the 7th place team's heart they let them still go. When the lady came and told us we were for sure going we screamed. It is Valentines Weekend which is when I have junior champs for swimming. I really want to go to super qualifiers and junior champs. Which should I go to?

Needle Felting

 So tomorrow I have a robotics competition and my robotics team name is BB8 Builders and so I needle felted a BB8. It's not the best, but I like it.

I like to needle felt little animals like foxes, cats, birds, and more. Today I felted a bumble bee and a panda head. I want to make enough felted stuff to sell at the Altrusa Bazaar for money.

Happy New Year!!!

What do you want to do this year? One thing I want to do is sell some of my crafts and animals for money. The places I want to sell my crafts are at the Altrusa Bazaar, eBay, my friends, ect. I will use the money to start my own robotics team with my friends. A robotics team costs about $2000 so we will split the costs. I already have $600-$700 from my sheep a while ago. That is my one thing I want to do this year.

John Day

December 27,2015

I am heading to John Day, Oregon to our cabin to go sledding. On the way there I see the devestation of a fire from this summer. There is no green, only white snow and burnt black trees. Every now and then I see houses, or what's left of them. There are stumps everywhere.

    When we finally get near where we are going we can't get past the first gate.  Our four wheeler can't get past a tree, so we start hiking.  We don't even make it half way to the second gate when we head back. The snow went up to my butt and hurt our legs lifting our them so high. When we get back we strip from our snow clothes and go back to John Day to retrieve presents from our grandparents.

Soap Making

So for Christmas I got some soap making stuff and here are some recipes I used. For all the recipes you need a mold of some sort (like cupcake tins) and some soap bars from a craft store. 

1.  Soap What You Want

For this recipe you need: Soap; Honey (optional); scented oils (you can get some from youngliving.com); double boiler (two pots small and big)

First step: fill big pot with water about 3/4 full and put small pot over.

Step two: put in small chunks of soap about two cups worth

Step three: wait untimely completely melted and add honey (a spoon full) or scented oil (3-5 drops) or both.

Bonus step: add almond oil

Step five: add some oatmeal (about 3/4 cups)

Step six: pour into molds or cupcake tin.

Merry Christmas

 Yesterday was Christmas and I want to share some things I got. From my aunt I got soap making stuff like molds and pajamas. From my other aunt I got a fifty dollar bill. I want to spend it on a robotics team for some of my nice friends. From my Aunt Caitlin I got some chocolates and needle felting stuff. When I opened the felting box I saw a fur patch. I looked at it for a while and figured out it was a thimble. From my grand parents I got a owl pillow with a bow tie and a recycled paper bead maker. From my grandma I got pajamas, a karaoke machine, a sketch book, ect. From my uncle Zac I got a beautiful scarf that is blue with strands of the rainbow. From my parents I got scarfs, jeans, a shirt, an owl speaker, ect. Then last but not least Santa gave me some headphones, a tooth brush, a device holder, a phone case, AND... A PHONE!!! The phone I got is an IPhone 5S. It is my first phone ever. I will try to post more, the Star Wars post I'm holding off because I don't want to ruin it.
