Belinda's Notes Lifestyle Homeschool

I used to say that homeschooling was our lifestyle but now I say our lifestyle is our homeschool!

Lifestyle Homeschool is about discipling our children; about character training, about everyday life giving learning opportunities, about Bible study and practical skills. Your lifestyle will provide the experiences that will give your children a rich education.

Sep. 28, 2009 - Project: Christmas, week 3

freefoto

2 hours a week for 12 weeks -

Preparing for a relational, homemade Christmas -

Remembering Jesus!

During the week I completed my planning tasks - except that I still have a few gifts to think of. I also need to hold off confirming the date of our Christmas Tree Decking party till I know when the Combined Churches Christmas Carols are happening. But the planning has started.

Now for week 3 of my project list (it is available as a free download):
* Begin to shop for gifts (well, I have already started this but I plan to go shopping again this week - both IRL and online)
* Shop for materials needed for handmade gifts and decorations (I have actually already made one order for craft material, but need to put in orders to both Spotlight and Lincraft for the remainder craft items I need - and the girls need a few things too!)
* Music - I'd like to buy one new Christmas CD - I'll probably leave this till a bit later but I'll be keeping my eyes out.

I'd love to hear how you are going on your Project: Christmas, If you are blogging about it please leave a comment and I'll come and visit. If you aren't blogging leave a comment anyways, and let me know what you are working on.

Sep. 28, 2009 - Looks good!

Sep. 28, 2009 - My handmade gifts and decorations

Posted by belindaletchford

Gifts:
* Handmade cards
* Photo cards - concertina cards with 5-8 cards
* Enlarged photo/posters (made from digital scrapbooking)
* Home baked goodies (some will be raw food goodies)
* Handmade Christmas decorations - embroideries, applique, tree decorations

My decorations I hope to make:
1. finish an applique nativity scene wall quilt
2. naive embroidery (backstitch) depicting Bethleham and the words "Silent night"
3. Felt applique (to be framed) depicting 3 wise men

I think reality is I'll get the first one done. I've been trying to do that for 3 years so we will see how we go!!

Your decorations sound very pretty.

Most years (at one point it was every year, but we have missed a few recently) I choose a tree ornament design that the kids and I can make several of to give to extended family and friends: painted wooden stars, beaded snowflakes, doily angels, etc.
