Well, we survived our first official year of homeschooling! And it was awesome! We're not "officially" done for another week and half or so, but we've finished all books in the main curriculum. We're still reviewing and practicing a lot of the same things we covered this year, and will continue to do so over the summer, just to keep it all fresh.
I've taken a break from my Etsy shop for a while to focus on some personal projects, learning new techniques, and learning cross-stitch. :-) I've also committed to finally typing out some patterns. Yes! Finally. It's only taken me a year! It just wasn't something I was able to do while maintaining the shop. Every time I'd sit down at the computer with my yarn and hook, I was reminded of all the crocheting I still had to do to get orders out on time.
I also took two weeks to repaint four rooms in the house. I completely redid the guess room, with exception to the furniture. The laundry room saw a complete overhaul as well.
There are so many pictures of all of my projects, but here are just a few for now...
"Up" inspired cross-stitch
Sign for the guest room wall. The quote is from John Irving's "The Ciderhouse Rules"
Doctor Who cross-stitch
Crocheted collar/necklace
Part one of a three part quote from Alice in Wonderland. I'm almost done with the last one. I'll post the finished project once it's done!
That's all for now, but I'll be back with more. And a lot sooner than last time!
Love the Dr Who cross stitch! so cute!
