My blog posts won't be as frequent, things are getting a little crazy and I'm finding it hard put to sit down and be able to a blog post every week... I'll try for every other week-but unless I happen to have content, I can't promise you'll hear from me every week.
We are considering revamping the school curriculum. I LOVE Abeka, I LOVE having the lesson plans... But the cost (while completely worthwhile) is daunting. With Andrew starting to get into grades where consumables won't be needed as much, we are considering making up our own lesson plans using books we have (we are major book hoarders around here). So that's on the table....
My sewing plans have started for vacation things around here. First thing is to get my mending pile down to a manageable level-mostly because I have to un-bury my sewing machine first.
Then I will be making my Bible cover.
There's my plans...
I made a list of what I want-pocket for writing, marking, note taking tools. A pocket for note cards to keep track of the verses the kids are working on. And place marker ribbons. My husband bought me a new bible for Christmas, but forgot to check to make sure it had place marker ribbons.... so those will be added to my cover.
Then I took measurements of my Bible, and added a reasonable seam allowance. Then I measured what I wanted, and wrote those sizes down along with seam allowance. All that's left is the picking of fabric from my stash and the sewing.
The next project will be a toy bag for vacation.
There's my plans. I got the idea from Pinterest of course, with the Clarks Condensed Blog and their shared pattern and idea.
I plan on using fabric I have and making roads and decorations on the inside with either sharpies or scrap fabric.
We are still on break from school this week. We'll start again next week. It's cold up here with lots of snow (Loving it!!!).
Have a great day!
