~ Show and Tell Friday- Craft Blog ~

Myspace Comments
Myspace Comments * DazzleJunction.com

I have been at Cindy Rushton's homeschool online conference today and tomorrow.  I will make my Show and Tell rounds as I can and more after tomorrow.





 
I messed up this post and I am afraid if I tamper with it any more I will loose it.


I am going to first tell and then take you on a rabbit trail for the show.

I have for almost two years of had a blog ( wow has it been that long !!! )  and  I have resisted of having more than one blog.  I am one of those persons who likes a "all in one" blog.   But just recently I went to my friend Libby's craft blog and..... I was inspired !!! 
If you have been hanging out with me long enough you would know what a craft-aholic I am.  Sooo I gave in and created a place for anyone who wants to know what I am up to in this department of my life to see my handiwork. I have a special craft I have shown first.  It is a sweater that I have been promising my Handsome for a couple years now *BLUSH*.  And I finally finished it !!! So if you go to " Stitching With Love" you will see it.
 This is for you Tracy  And others who cannot go to blogger.

That is great that you are crafty. I can appreciate that gift in others because it is not where God has gifted me.

Good day Mary! We are busy today with lessons, chores and physical therapy. Plus tonight is our first night back at our old flock group. I feel like God has redeemed and restored me in all of this! Such a blessing! Have a great day!

I love the sweater! My grandma taught me to knit when I was in high school and I sure wish I would have continued on past knitting dishcloths! I also like the look of your new blog.

The sweater is gorgeous. Great idea for a new blog. :) I'm new to S&T Friday. What a fun idea. :)

Would it be okay if I added you as a friend on my homeschool blogger blog?

My S&T is actually on my other blog. I'm a multi-blog blogger lol.

I'm really impressed with that sweater. That color looks really good on him. My knitting experience would have made that sweater several times too big. I think I knit too loosely? ha. I decided to stick to baby blankets.
Nice to have a craft blog.....

First , I am a daughter of the King almighty and a a wife to my Handsome of 17 years. A mom of 4 on the go boys 15, 13, 9, and 7. I grew up in the states but married my Canadian sweetheart and moved up north. We live in the southern part of British Columbia , Canada on our homestead. We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
