Mosaic kit

Hey everyone, I've got my craft apron on, so that means we are crafting today!

Today I'm going to make a mosaic of a bee with this cute little kit. It has been sitting around for months and I FINALLY get to make it today.

So I'll first lay out all the materials on some newspaper and see what we've got. A mold, some glass pieces, and a bag of cement.

Next, I'll trace around the mold on the newspaper.

This is to make it easier when arranging the mosaic tiles, so now I have an idea of how I want to lay out the pieces.

And now, for the messy part... mixing the cement. I'll leave this to my mom who is mixing it with gloves. I don't want cement on my fur.

We carefully pour the cement into the mold.

Then, we arrange the tiles on the cement. (Editor's note: Multiple attempts were required for this step and it got very messy).

I think it turned out great! I'm going to let it dry overnight.

Have you made a mosaic before?

Chinese lesson

Hi everyone! Today, I'm going to teach you a couple of Chinese words. Learning a new language is fun!

Let's start with one of my favorite -- if not my most favorite -- word. You guessed it. HONEY.

In Chinese, "honey" is 蜂蜜 and pronounced fēngmì. I like to eat 蜂蜜。

Next, let's learn a very closely related word: BEE.

Do you see anything interesting about the word for BEE?

If you said it is the reverse of BEE, you are right! In Chinese, the word for BEE is 蜜蜂 and pronounced mìfēng.

So, be sure not to confuse the two. You don't want to eat 蜜蜂  - that would really sting!

I hope you enjoyed this Chinese lesson!
