    ~ Show and Tell Friday ~ Having Fun Beading ~

     

    .

    I hope you are having fun this summer.  This last week has been a lot of fun for me.  My 1ds girl Essie is spending a couple weeks with us and I am loving all the girl time I am getting.  This is so fun for me b/c I am surrounded by males and to have someone else who has the same intrests as I do and we are having a blast doing it together.  Essie and I went bead shopping on Tuesday and we have been playing with the new beads we bought and I got a really neat book to learn all kinds of neat new techniques for wirework.  I want to show off a bracelet I made last night.  I will show some more pics tomorrow of our week tomorrow on Weekly Wrapup. Sooooo here it is...

    .

    Now if you want to join us in the fun of Show and Tell Friday  just....

    .
    ~Make a Show and Tell Post and make sure it is wholesome.  It can be pretty much what ever you want to share.  It could be about you ...or your family ....or what is going on in your homeschooling.

    ~Some how link me ( Mary @ Raising 4 Godly Men or Canadagirl ) so others will know where to go to join S&T.

    p.f.~Come back to me and let me know you posted your S&T by clicking on the Mister Linky Graphic and using your exact URL to your Show and Tell Post.   ( I need you  to tell me each week that you want to participate, okay ?  )

    .
    ~If you want the S&T button to put on your blog go
    HERE

    ~Then

    " please go visit other gals wonderful Show and Tells !  Oh,  don't forget to comment.  EVERYONE  loves comments."

    .

      *Click onto the Mister Linky graphic below and link away.  And to view other Show and Tell participants also click on the Mister Linky graphic to see all the links.

     



    "If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when these are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play! If she would have the courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or half a day, out in the fields, or with a favourite book, or in a picture gallery looking long and well at just two or three pictures, or in bed, without the children, life would go on far more happily for both children and parents. The mother would then be able to hold herself in "wise passiveness’ and would not fret her children by continual interference even of hand or eye - she would let them be." ...Charlotte Mason

    I can imagine having a girl around with you is a real treat! Those darn boys just won't get into the jewels, eh? You must have a certain amount of patience to bead like that.
    Have a great weekend, Mary!

    First , I am a daughter of the King almighty and a a wife to my Handsome of 19 years. A mom of 4 on the go boys 17, 15, 11, and 9. 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. 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 on The House That God Built 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. This blog is the home of Show and Tell Friday's and Tightwad Tuesdays. I hope you decide to join in on the fun ! Blessings and ((HUGS)) In Him<>< -Mary
