Remember that big bucket of yarn?

 
Well, I've knit 17 scarves now. 5 went to the fundraiser for Megan. I was pleased to hear that four sold and Megan's mom, Michelle, was thrilled to get to keep number five. Blogging will remain slim as I throw myself into full holiday tizzy. There is knitting to be finished, ornaments to be made, Girl Scout parties to be thrown, gifts to deliver and many more things I've forgotten. There's also that bit about educating the children. I probably should remember to feed them to. Happy Holidays! 

Still Snowing

 
 

Let it Snow!

 
 

Birthday Treats!

 
 

I'm taking the day off...

It's my birthday.

Homeschooling Trend Growing in America

This is the first part of a series of articles on homeschooling from the Salem Times-Commoner. It is interesting that this story developed when someone from the Times-Commoner was sent to photograph a field trip at the fire station. It was assumed that the children were from a school. When it was discovered that all of the children were homeschooled, it led to the development of this series.

Spunky had another great idea!

She is hosting the awards. You can click on the button to head on over to her blog and check it out. I can't wait until the nominations are posted with links so that I can find new homeschool blogs.

A big thank you to Ron of the comments for nominating my knitting blog for the homeschool arts blog award.

I nominated Siri's blog: Knitting Iris for Best Homeschool Photo blog.

It's that crafty time of year

 

Today we had our first snow that "stuck" and the roads were too slick to go anywhere, so we worked on these window clings. It was a very fun project. If anyone has some neat holiday ideas, please share. I've got to keep these little people occupied.
