Ten-year old Hazel Frogmore wants to be a witch. One problem: her parents are normal humans. According to the kids at school, that means Hazel will never be a witch. But Hazel has other plans. Plans to prove them wrong.

How hard can it be?

Every witch has a talking pumpkin, a cat, and a flying broomstick. If Hazel can get those three things, then she will be a witch too.

Or will she?

Join Hazel and her new friends on an adventure they won’t soon forget!

We decided to attempt a 3 ingredient slime. 

• Glue
• Corn starch
• food coloring

TM's slime turned into a sticky mess. It never reached the point where we could play with it.

Poor EG's slime was nothing but sticky glue-paste. Since TM's hadn't worked out, we didn't bother continuing to add corn starch to it.

EG did have the longest time spent cleaning her hands so they no longer resembled the Wicked Witch of the West!

We also tried a 3 ingredient flubber that never thickened. I tossed it in the trash without taking a picture.

Fleece as batting, backing, and binding, you say?

​No one has mentioned this. It's something I figured out quite by accident.

TM wanted the purple fleece I'd purchased to make her pants for the back of her jelly roll quilt. I shrugged and said ok without thinking about it. Then, when I laid the jelly roll quilt top out, I realized that the fleece was thick enough to justify NOT using batting.

Next I figured I could simply turn the edge of the fleece over the raw quilt edge and seam it down. Since that would eliminate the need for binding, I was all for it. I cut the fleece 1/2" wider than the quilt top (after I'd stitched the top to the fleece). I folded the fleece edge over the edge of the quilt top and zigzagged it into place.
​
I've heard that jelly roll quilts ONLY take an hour. Not true. I know I spent at least 4 hours total getting this one done and I took A LOT of shortcuts by using the fleece. TM loves it though, so worth all the effort.

Of course EG wants one too.
TM wants a bigger one for her bedroom.
And the list of requests continues to grow.
