From 2004…intended to be for J3:
(ok I feel a bit better)
Here is a question for all you homeschool moms:
How do you handle breaks? Do you find they are something to be enjoyed or avoided?
I *so* enjoyed our break…but if what I’ve been dealing with the past two days is the price I will pay for any further break – then forget it! It does not balance! There’s been yelling, crying, eye-rolling, foot-stomping, patient explainations, impatient demands, threatening, complaining and stony silence. And, just in case someone thinks they’ll be cute – I only did SOME of those things! 😉
I’m joking around – but I’m also serious. I’ve got a figure out a way to make an improvement here.

It seems everywhere I turn I’m hearing about quilting! As in….
- Trina (sadly blogless) told me about this First Saturday group at the Cloth Carousel in Winters.
- Theresa continues to quilt!! Go Theresa!
- J3 asks when I’m going to finish his quilt! The top has been done since Nov 2004!! That’s 3 years!! Poor guy!
- Various other people are starting it or restarting! In fact, someone keeps coming to my blog via the search term “quilting again” – I hope they find what they are looking for!
- And I want to start again too!
I’m pretty excited about this First Saturday group (sadly, no blog or website). I guess if you complete your monthly block you get the next pattern for no charge. I love the idea! Just the motivation I need to get back into it. (Trying not to think of all the things that might keep me from completing it. No need to dwell on the negative!)
Here’s some pictures of my first quilt:
Sadly, I don’t have one of the finished quilt top… but I think Theresa might. I’ll have to email her to see if she’ll send me a copy. Or I guess I could go find it and take a new picture. But that room is so cold!! LOL

After Christmas I had an urge to finish things. So far all I have left is to block Baby Susannah’s dress (well, and mail it out) and my boxers. I’m making good progress on my boxers…and it feels good to be making progress.
I’m not so in love with the ‘pretty in pink’ scarf I’ve been working on. Maybe it’s that I’m anxious to make some socks. I’m really excited about the Firestarter Socks – have you seen them? Oh my – they are so cool!
I’ve got yarn to make some socks for my Dad and stepmom. And, I want to make my brother a hat – but I want to make a certain one and I don’t have the yarn. So, I’m trying to decide if I want to just knit him anything … nah, I won’t be happy with it. I need to wait until I can get the yarn. Not sure that he reads this – but on the off chance that he does…no more talk about that.
My mom’s birthday is coming too – I’d like to make her something.
I just realized this really a post about nothing! LOL Oh well…it gave me a chance to think some things through! 😉
