Learning

I try new things, whether I am excited about it or not. In school, I just loved art class & math, wanted to do more and more. I didn't care for history, but now, I enjoy it. We have to learn a myriad of things in school & later on, you will pick the things you like the most to make your life. Hopefully, you will love your job, whether it's fixing trucks, teaching others about oil paints and how to stretch canvas, or cooking up a new recipe. Maybe you will become a spouse and parent...for me, I have decided that homeschooling is the best thing for us. I want to pass my love of learning new things on to my children! I also think they need a firmer foundation of strong morals, compassion and respect towards others, than they would get in your average school.


My sister and her family came over for a bit yesterday. All 4 of the girls ended up swimming in our jacuzzi. I would add some of my favorites here, but blogger is asking for my login EACH time I try to add a photo...arg!

I've been sewing a bit. I made this scarf for one of Hannah's friends from church. I made a few tiny pillows with pouches, the dentist told Olivia she has a wiggly tooth! That rosey lace was from Kim (all the way from Capetown, South Africa)! I sewed this brooch, inspired by Heather:

You may notice some new TUNES....I thought it was time for a change, some good old songs I used to listen to with my sisters on the record player in the basement. One of our favorites were the Village Stompers, who I couldn't find, they played "Moscow Nights." Gotta listen to Telstar, it's a funky tune from 1962. I love the sound of it, I think you can even hear the needle on the record in the beginning!
