i’m still working on my mandalas, I’m getting better! So far these are my favorites:
Something kind of soothing about the repetitiveness and change. The above pattern is from A Creative Being.
I have little to write about but I will soon.
Happy crafting/hooking/sewing 🙂
We’re starting a “homeschool” program with the boy child here soon.
I have printables, a giant work book and a board full of over the top crafts for kids that there is little to no chance we will ever do. I MEAN I’M TOTALLY PREPARED! We can’t figure out how to afford sending him to a preschool so another year at home but I’ll be damned if he isn’t going to learn something this year!
The biggest problem is I’m not a teacher. I’m not a teacher personality type. I get frustrated too easy and have problems putting my thoughts together and organizing my words before they pop out of my head. But that’s what workbooks are for, right?
Luckily for me my boy is smart. He’s a little brat face but he’s smart. So hopefully we’ll get through this okay. And if not, he’s really good on computers and can spell his name…. That’s like… preschool level requirements right?
And my hopes of going to a craft show are dashed (well for that particular one at least) because they changed it to a barter show… I don’t really know how to barter crochet chicken hats and hanging dish towels for things that I actually need so… I guess I’ll be looking for another show to register for. It seems like there should be lots in this little artsy farsty city but unfortunately most of the people running these events seem to not be aware of the existence of the internet. Or I’m too dependent on the internet.
And finally, lately all of my crochet projects are more time consuming and end up funky because my tiny human grabs my yarn and pulls (while grunting “PUUUUULLLL”) while I’m trying to work. I really need a better workspace. Or a room where I can turn a light on after everyone is asleep to crochet. Is that too much to ask?
How does anyone get anything done ever after having kids? I’m flailing here.
My 16 year old sister wanted me to Tumblr.
I have no idea what that is, I signed up, treated it like a blog, felt old when everyone ignored my presence (tumbling?) Not because I’m desperate for attention, but because it seemed like it should be easy. People post, interact and all that goodness. But I just felt old on Tumblr. I’ll stick to my pinterests and facebookings.
I’m on facebook, Cultivating Crazy, and pinterest- Follow Me on Pinterest.
My husband is all about twitter but its too much for me.
I feel so old!
Peace out!
I really have done nothing the past two weeks.
Pretty much I’ve just pinned a bunch of stuff that I want to make on Pinterest, cleaned the kitchen enough to make dinner (and you know, not violate any health codes), and snuggled with my kids.
I remember when summers used to be fun. Now I’ve got 2 kids under 5, no car, and its so freaking hot I don’t want to go anywhere.
So to motivate myself I’m debating signing up for a craft/farm stuff show. I have nothing made. I’d want a ton of hats crocheted, maybe some bags, some of my embroidered dish towels and stuff. I think I’ll aim for one in September. Just get myself going here.
Ps. the 14th is the kill date for maybe getting our house. Heres hoping no one puts an offer on it before then.
