Make a Quilted Throw Pillow for Your Valentine I’ve been having fun with the Valentine theme this month, as I suppose you are already aware if you’ve been following the projects available on the blog!

I thought a quilted throw pillow would be another wonderful idea for Valentine’s Day. You can make one as a gift for your sweetie, or just keep it and enjoy it for yourself. This…

Embrace the Suck I was five years old when I learned how to throw a football. My Dad spent hours in that muddy backyard trying to teach me how to throw “just like Peyton Manning did,” my favorite NFL player.

Next, with one swift motion I was told to launch the ball forward as hard as I could. However, in order to make the ball spin in a spiral, at the end of my…

Throw Me A Bone And I’ll Succeed “To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone, and a funny bone” (McEntire). You of course need bones to live effectively let alone be successful, but I believe McEntire is referring to these bones figuratively. We need a wishbone to wish and be hopeful in all things, as well as always having something to always work for. I believe also that we need a backbone, figuratively speaking, because we need to be able to stand up for what we believe…

The book I read was Million Dollar Throw by Mike Lupica. This book shows many different struggles Nate and Abby go through leading up to a throw that could change both of their lives completely. I learned that no matter how difficult a situation is, always think about the good and never give up on anything. Nate and his family, and eventually Abby’s are in some very tough battles with money. Throughout the book, this creates Abby’s and Nate’s bond even tighter by learning more about each other.…

I feel like I really need to Hamilton the most because he was determined to follow his dream. He went out of his way every time and said, “Don’t throw away your shot”. When I first heard that quote I felt amazed because that is true, sometimes we take a sometimes we take for granted our shot and we mess up. As listening to Hamilton you can tell that he made mistakes and I know I have to but just listening to him he learned that a new shot can come around and you should take it because you know…

Sir Philip Sydney uses imagery to make the reader feel the pain that one experiences while awake and the urge to sleep.

Sydney appeals to multiple senses in this instance to make the feeling of darts exaggerated, and provides a tone of pain and sorrow. This tone is set for the reader because the reader experiences…
