Up To My Ears in Projects!!!

But I am not saying that in a complainy way...  I LOVE it!

 

 

Most evenings this is what you will find me doing! 

This one was the all-white afghan for Rebecca!

 

 

All packed  up and ready to go!  In addition to Rebecca's white afghan, the one on the right is for Jamie (a MOMYS.com friend) and the one in the foreground is for Tiany's new baby, Noah! 

 

In addition to these, here is a list of current projects:

 

Afghan for Lynan's new baby (due in 9.5 weeks!)

An apron for my dear friend Tanya (plus a surprise that I won't mention, in case she reads my blog)

Fleece Bathrobes for Tanya's 3 oldest children (my godchildren):  Sierra, Savannah and Logan.

Extra large (36x36) receiving blankets for Tanya's youngest child (my goddaughter):  Madison

A set of 4 placemats and a Star of David-shaped table center piece for my mom and her husband

A sweatshirt jacket for my Mom's upcoming birthday

 

 

Those are the projects that need to be done within the next two weeks so they can be mailed off before Christmas, birthday and Hannukah (my Mom celebrates Hannukah).

 

I have all my shopping done, but I need to mail packages, send of the rest of my cards (all addressed, but still sittting on my desk), and I will have baking to do in a few weeks also. 

 

We are done decorating minus the tree...  we are going treeless this year. 

 

We kept up the Nativity scenes and added my Winter seasonal decorations...  I am really into snowflakes (but that is a subject for another blog!)

My name is Christina. I am 38 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 18 years! My username is quietcajun, but I am neither quiet, nor cajun! The nickname is based on my children's initials! The first four children are: Kaitlyn (16), Jordan (14 next month), Ian (12.5), and Noah (10 next month)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (8 in September) is my youngest (so far). Put S and H together and you get SH as in SHHHH... QUIET. Get it? Thus, quietcajun! We are in our 12th year of homeschooling. We have tried public school, but we soon realized how important it is that they be HOME at all costs. Now we are back to having them all home again! It's not always easy, but it is for the BEST! Two of our children have Asperger's Syndrome. That is an adventure in itself. We are still learning! This blog is a place for me to sort out the daily joys and challenges of life as a mother and wife as I strive to love and know God more and bring GLORY to HIM in EVERY part of my LIFE!!!!
