Show and Tell Friday

These are two beautiful porcelain dolls. They were given to me my grandmother, when I was about 9 or 10. As you can see they are in pretty good shape. Although I did tangle up the hair a little. I always had a thing for styling hair.

This week in History

There's a new show that premiered two weeks ago. It was created specifically for the Christian cluster, since there are a lot of secular shows out now. It is about a girl named Nikki who has to spend her summer with her cousin Babs. Nikki sees it as a big waste of time. She refers to her cousin Babs as "Barbie", because she's very giddy. She also feels that Babs is very different from her, because she home schooled. I found the show to be amusing. You can watch all the episodes online at purgatoryusa. The next episode will be airing November 16th.

Bible Quiz Trophies

I have decided to participate in "Show and Tell Friday". This is a picture of trophies I have won from bible quizzing. Maybe you have this activity at your church. This year we are studying the book of Luke.

Now that I'm homeschooled again it will be easier for me to focus and study my material. Most of my competition is amongst members of my own church team.Our church has two teams, so at competitions we have to compete against each other. It's always very fun.

Participating in Bible quizzing has helped me learn more about God's word. I am really excited about my next quiz competition.

IM BACK!

Hello all you bloggers out there,
I am back! This is my ninth grade year and I am a homeschooler again. My last day of school was two tuesdays ago. I am getting back into the homeschool mode being that public school is totally different. I like them both but there are just different expectations. Well I just wanted to give everyone a reason to start checking my blog every once in a while. I will try to keep up with regular posting. My criteria might be different then before, although I am keeping the crochet critter posts. Can't wait to get back into the groove.

Crochet Critter

This weeks crafts is a wristlet and some hair clips. I actually have a pink wristlet that is mainly done, but I kinda messed up on it so I have to make some alterations.

Crochet Critter

I found a great pattern and actually tried it before telling you all I was going to do it. Unfortunately the tunic didn't turn out so great, although in time I will take another shot at it. Well I have been working on more clutch purses. I also sewed a pink skirt purse just like my mom's. And I even went the extra mile to do decorative stitches on the handle. (pics below) I also found a great and easy pattern for crocheted slippers . They are adorable. The pattern was for Mary Jane slippers but I changed the way I made mine so they're ballerina slippers. The pattern didn't tell what size it was for. So the first pair I made was a pink pair for my sister because the part of the shoe where your toes go was a little tight. For my size I did 7 sc in the chain 1 space and I made the flap that comes over your foot 3 1/2 inches and the whole shoe was 8 1/2 inches. (this is the crochet language so if you don't crochet don't worry about it). I also made a larger pink pair for me and a black pair for my mom.

Happy Valentines Day

This morning I recieved these things from my dad and two younger brothers. You would think it was a set but actually my dad brought the basket, the bear/lotion, and the candy box separately. It all came together nicely. My little sister recieved the same thing but her set is red. I just have a wonderful dad, and my brothers are great also. Dont you agree?
