There is great satisfaction in actually completing projects as a homeschooling mom. So much of the things we do get undone so quickly. The dishes always need to be done, laundry always needs to be done, toliets need to be scrubbed, carpets need to be vacuumed, etc.

I like to do many different types of crafts. Here is a sampling of what has been completed recently:

A pillowcase bag - you can find the directions at Martha Stewart

May Day Flowers - we secretly hung these on our neighbor's doors! :o)

Two new skirts for me - the pattern is found here.

There are always uncompleted projects around this house! Here are a couple currently in progress:

This quilt is for Matthew for the Civil War Re-enactments. I figured since he will be sleeping in the dog tents, he might like something to keep him nice and warm! :o) I still need to finish quilting it. I will be hand tying the quilt. I am hoping to take a quilting class this summer, if it fits into the schedule! :o)

We have another project we have been working on since 1999!! We started collecting the state quarters back then and have every quarter except for five. We are missing one from last year and the four more due to come out this year. If anyone comes across the Wyoming quarter, we would love to get one from you!! :o)

I did actually finish my 1997 album tonight. I am so glad that it is finally finished!! I will try to post some of my favorite page layouts soon.
